Program Enrollment Increase Analysis

This solution identifies the academic program with the second highest percentage increase in student admissions between the years 2021 and 2025, based on the provided enrollment data.

Enrollment Data (2021 vs 2025)

Program 2021 Admissions 2025 Admissions
B.A. 150 500
B.Sc. 25 80
B.B.A. 45 36
B. Com. 75 132
B.C.A. 75 74

Calculating Percentage Increase

The percentage increase for each program is calculated using the formula:

$ \text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{(\text{Admissions}_{2025} - \text{Admissions}_{2021})}{\text{Admissions}_{2021}} \times 100 $

Calculations for each program:

  • B.A.: $ \frac{(500 - 150)}{150} \times 100 = \frac{350}{150} \times 100 \approx 233.33\% $
  • B.Sc.: $ \frac{(80 - 25)}{25} \times 100 = \frac{55}{25} \times 100 = 220\% $
  • B.B.A.: $ \frac{(36 - 45)}{45} \times 100 = \frac{-9}{45} \times 100 = -20\% $ (This is a decrease)
  • B. Com.: $ \frac{(132 - 75)}{75} \times 100 = \frac{57}{75} \times 100 = 76\% $
  • B.C.A.: $ \frac{(74 - 75)}{75} \times 100 = \frac{-1}{75} \times 100 \approx -1.33\% $ (This is a decrease)

Identifying the Second Highest Increase

Ranking the percentage increases from highest to lowest:

  1. B.A.: $ \approx 233.33\% $
  2. B.Sc.: $ 220\% $
  3. B. Com.: $ 76\% $
  4. B.C.A.: $ \approx -1.33\% $
  5. B.B.A.: $ -20\% $

The highest increase is for B.A. The second highest percentage increase is for B.Sc.
