Abstract
With the ever increasing demand of higher education in the country, several measures
have been adopted to fill the gap between demand and supply. Therefore, to meet the
challenge number of new universities had been established in both the public and
private sector during the last decade. Consequently, there is a competition between
public and private sector universities for attracting the students. Claims of providing
high quality education at an affordable price are being promulgated by both the sectors.
The present study is an attempt to compare the fee charged and on-campus facilities
provided to students by public and private sector universities. To conduct the study a
sample of 218 social sciences MS/MPhil level students from public and private sector
universities were selected. Facility Identification Inventory was used to collect data.
Analysis of the data reflected that very high fee is being charged by the private sector
universities as compared to public sector. As far as the facilities are concerned the
private sector is providing fewer facilities. Moreover, there existed no relationshipfee
between total fee and the facilities provided to students in the universities.
