The average fees of tuetion depends upon the following factors : (1) Cost of time (2) Quality of teaching ( It is co-factor between students and a teacher) (3) Total number of students in a class ( may be 1 or it may be 30 or more ?) (4) Overhead expenses incurred by the teacher ( like electricity charges, AC Charges, cost of stationary etc.) (5) Rent if any paid by the teacher (6) Investment made and running cost of the same for running the class ( Cost of Books purchased , furniture and fixtures , black Board,, Computers , Projectors , lighting etc.) (7) days per week ( may be 3 days or 4 days or 6 days ?) so there may be other factors directly or indirectly influencing the quantum of fees. Moreover, the exact amount of fees cannot be predicted because the ultimate factor is demand and supply ratio which decides the fees case to case basis and locationwise as per theory of economics.
