Abstract	This paper explores how internal characteristics of universities that reflect the structure of the budget and the makeup of the student body and academic staff influence the efficiency level of universities. We analyse a sample of 320 Russian public higher education institutions using the modern nonparametric methodology of an order-m conditional efficiency estimator. Our results suggest that the distribution of universities by efficiency scores may heavily depend on the aforementioned internal characteristics. The diversity of the academic staff, the student body and income sources positively affect the efficiency level, and so different policies and managerial practices aimed at increasing this diversity can be used as instruments for improving university efficiency and performance.
