34 out of 75 state universities (45%) in profit – success in the commercialization of education. TSUE earned 151 billion thanks to contracts, additional services, and effective management. 41 universities (55%) are experiencing losses due to insufficient funding, low demand for specialties, and regional depression. Navoi Pedagogical Institute lost 88.1 billion — a critical situation requiring restructuring.

Top 10 Profitable Universities
TSUE leads with a profit of 151.5 billion dollars due to the high demand for economic specialties, a large number of contractors, and commercial projects. Kokand State University is the second with 71 billion. Karshi Technical Institute — 64.9 billion, Berdakh (Karakalpakstan) — 52.8 billion, Andijan Technical Institute — 43.2 billion.
Top 10 Unprofitable Universities
The Navoi Pedagogical Institute lost 88.1 billion — the largest loss among state universities. Reasons: low demand for pedagogical specialties, regional depression, lack of funding. Karshi Engineering and Economic Institute — 47.3 billion, Termez State University — 38.8 billion, Karshi State University — 38 billion, Namangan State University — 35.7 billion.
Why the difference
- Profitable universities: high demand for specialties (economics, IT, engineering), a large number of contracting students, commercial projects, effective management, location in large cities.
- Unprofitable universities: low demand for pedagogical and humanitarian specialties, regional depression, underfunding of the budget, a small number of contract students, outdated infrastructure.
Context
8.74 trillion in revenues — about 97 billion per university on average. TSUE earned 9 times more than the average. Contracts (5.36 trillion) are the main source of income, which stimulates the commercialization of education. 55% of universities are experiencing losses — a systemic problem requiring reforms: optimization of the number of universities, merging of unprofitable ones, increasing the salaries of teachers, modernization of infrastructure.
