Private Education Institution Graduate Employment Survey 2022/2023
The PEI GES aims to help prospective students make informed decisions on their education choices. It is mandatory for all PEIs offering EDPs to participate in the survey. Similar surveys are conducted for graduates of Autonomous Universities, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education.
About 9,100 individuals completed full-time bachelor's level EDP graduates across 26 PEIs between May 2022 and April 2023, out of which 40.8% responded to the PEI GES survey. Detailed results of the survey can be found below.

* Median gross monthly salaries for selected PEIs are not shown due to the small sample size of respondents in full-time permanent employment.
Notes:
1 Results of PEIs with fewer than 10 respondents are not published as there are too few economically active fresh graduate respondents for the data to be meaningful.
2 Response rate refers to the percentage of graduates from full-time degree programmes in PEIs who responded to the survey.
3 Results of PEIs based on a small sample size of fewer than 30 full-time fresh PEI degree graduates may not be representative of the institution’s graduate employment outcomes. Users should exercise caution in interpreting the data.
