However, these colleges have faced some efficiency issues related to factors such as low number of enrolment, low number of graduates, and low employability which could affect their performance. Therefore, their efficiency should be appropriately evaluated. Thus, a superior non-parametric approach called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is explored. Since those factors are both uncontrollable and integer-valued, in addition to the existing non-integer valued of inputs and outputs, any classical DEA model is not able to properly measure their efficiency. As a result, this research developed an alternative two-stage approach of super efficiency slack-based measure in hybrid integer values and nondiscretionary factors.

In addition, the consistency of the results was realized using external validity.
