This study aims to examine the commercialization of higher education and its effects. Higher education has become an indispensable part of life in today’s competitive world. But due to the privatization of higher education, the emphasis has been shifted from service world to the commercial world. The commercialized education system has affected the performance and productivity of the educational institutions badly which in turn has deteriorated the quality of the education. The students are the ultimate sufferers. Nowadays, the focus of the management, principal and the other faculty members of the educational institutions is on getting maximum admissions rather than on delivering the value education to the students which contributes to the failure of the students. Due to the commercialization, the education which helps in the overall development of the youth is sidelined which was traditionally considered as an important element for the growth of the individual. The economy will also have to pay the cost of the commercialization of higher education as today’s youth is tomorrow’s asset. To solve the existing problem, government intervention is “a light in the dark room.” The government can take corrective measures to improve the quality of the education system so that the economy should not set back.
