This session will highlight the advantages of implementing a graduate tracking system in Kerala's higher education institutions. A comprehensive tracking system can provide valuable insights into graduates’ skill gaps, career paths and employment trends, allowing institutions to better align their curricula with industry needs. By monitoring the long-term success and challenges of alumni, higher education institutions can enhance the quality of the programmes, improve placement services, and strengthen ties with employers. The data gathered can also inform policy decisions, support accreditation processes, and showcase the impact of higher education on Kerala’s socio-economic development. This session will discuss best practices for setting up an effective tracking system, the potential for data-driven improvements, and how such systems can enhance institutional accountability and transparency.
