Abstract
This paper estimates the technical efficiencies of 20 departments of a government PG college Gopeshwar, Chamoli, Uttarakhand (India), for the academic year 2012–2013 through DEA technique. Number of academic staffs, number of taught course students, average students’ qualification, departmental operating cost (DOC) are taken as input variables, and number of graduates from taught courses, average graduates’ results (%), and graduate rate (%) are taken as output variables. Input–output data are collected from the NAAC report 2014 and annual SSR report academic year 2012–2013 and from the examination section of the government PG college, Gopeshwar. Some data are collected from the departments of the college and college annual book Madhuri. The study concludes that overall efficiency of departments is 87.8%, which indicates that the departments are not using their potential by 12.20%.
