Method & notes
The headline rate includes work, further study, upskilling and waiting for placement, so it should not be read as the employment rate alone.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSMOHE employability is broader than employment alone.
PulseKita transcribes the national graduate-employability trend published in MOHE's 2020 Quick Facts. MOHE defines graduate employability as working, continuing study, improving skills, or waiting for job placement.
- This is a historical 2016–2020 Graduate Tracer Study series, not a current 2026 outcome measure.
- Graduate employability includes graduates who are working, continuing their studies, improving skills, or waiting for job placement.
- Graduate employability is broader than the share who are actually working.
- Response rates and survey conditions vary by year, so small year-to-year differences should be interpreted cautiously.
