Authors : Yahyaoui Abdelkader .

Abstract

This study aims to measure and analyze the efficiency of the colleges at Adrar University, which consists of 10 colleges during the year 2023, using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method with both constant returns to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) models. The study utilizes both input-oriented and output-oriented approaches. The variables used in the study include (number of professors, number of students in undergraduate and master’s programs) as inputs, and (number of graduates as outputs). The results of the study showed that one college achieved full efficiency under the CRS model, which is the College of Natural and Life Sciences, while the others did not achieve full efficiency. Under the VRS model, four colleges achieved full efficiency, namely the Colleges of Economics, Humanities, Islamic Sciences, and Law, while the others did not achieve full efficiency.
