Abstract:
Capacity and the contribution of Gradates to the nation is widely
discussed at various forums due to its inherited susceptibility in nature.
Many of the argument state that the importance of the Graduates for the
concurrent industrial requirements is not perfectly matched and it leaves
a substantial thinking for authority to consider return on the investments
made on the education. On the other hand, non- state Universities appear
with great expectations and promises. Most of the non- state tertiary
education providers highlight requirement of developing an employable
Graduate. This study is aiming at assessing the nature and the extent of
the employability of state and non state University Graduates in Sri
Lanka. Subsequent objective is to identify respective deficiencies exist
among graduated which could disturb their employability. Deductive
research approach is used with survey and interview data collection
strategies. Total population is determining with greater emphasis on the
potential employees in both private and public sector establishments.
Expected sampling strategy recognized as the stratified sampling where
major attention will be given to the business management and
information technology. Primary finding indicates existence of the
substantial deficiency in both state and none state Universities in
relation to graduate employability where some of the inherited factors
work as restrictions.
