Tracer Study Report of Graduate 2023 - Summary
The findings of the study suggest that the college has been reasonably effective in providing quality education that contributes to graduates’ intellectual growth, professional skills, and subject expertise. This claim is supported by the overall approval ratings of graduates assigned to the academic and institutional facilities available during their studies.
The results, however, point to a critical challenge: more than 65 percent of graduates remain unemployed. When analyzed by program, BScCSIT graduates demonstrate far better employment outcomes compared to their BA and BBS counterparts. Regarding further education, the data reveal that most graduates either did not attempt or were unsuccessful in pursuing higher studies. Only a small fraction of BA and BBS graduates continued their education, whereas a majority of BScCSIT graduates opted not to pursue advanced degrees.
Another concern raised by the study relates to the adequacy and relevance of academic programs in advancing graduates’ career prospects and personal development. Although most students express a degree of satisfaction with their courses, their responses indicate only moderate approval overall. Graduates of BA, BBS, and BScCSIT programs reported being relatively satisfied, with female graduates consistently expressing higher satisfaction than males about the quality and usefulness of the programs.
Lastly, satisfaction levels with institutional facilities—such as the library, laboratories, canteen, and sanitation—were largely moderate. The study recommends that the college introduce necessary reforms to improve these resources and strengthen academic outcomes.
