Method & notes
Those differences should be read in context: institution types serve different programmes and populations, and employability includes further study, upskilling and waiting for placement.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSDescriptive institution-type trends, not a quality ranking.
PulseKita reproduces the institution-type trends published in MOHE's Graduate Tracer Study reporting. Each rate uses MOHE's broad employability definition, not employment alone.
- Historical series only: 2016–2020.
- Graduate employability includes graduates who are working, continuing their studies, improving skills, or waiting for job placement.
- Institution types serve different student populations and programme mixes, so the chart is descriptive rather than a quality ranking.
- Do not compare the rates as if institutions had identical graduate profiles or survey response patterns.
