Method & notes
The distribution changed over time, but it is historical, nominal and survey-based—not a current salary benchmark.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHistorical employed-respondent salary distribution, not a salary guarantee.
PulseKita reproduces the salary-band trend published in MOHE's 2020 Graduate Tracer Study for employed diploma respondents.
- Historical 2016–2020 series only.
- The denominator is employed diploma respondents, not all diploma graduates.
- Income bands are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation.
- This distribution should not be interpreted as a promise of salary for current diploma holders.
