Análisis de los Factores que Inciden en la no Titulación de los Egresados del TecNM – ITVH

The graduation rate of a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Mexico is used as an indicator of the institution's capacity to grant degrees to its graduates. In the present research, the factors that affect the non-graduation of graduates from the Tecnológico Nacional de México - Instituto Tecnológico de Villahermosa (TecNM - ITVH) are analyzed. Personal, socioeconomic and institutional elements are explored to determine which are those that may hinder the completion of the graduation process. To this end, a survey was conducted among graduates who applied for the degree process during the period between November 2024 and January 2025, with a population of 87 surveys carried out. SPSS statistical software was used to proceed with the analysis of the data collected. The results showed a tendency to apply for the degree process within a short period of time after completing their studies, as well as a balance between graduates who are working at the time of applying for the process and those who are not employed. In addition to the above, the predominant factor affecting non-degree completion is the lack of time available. It is recommended that new strategies be implemented to improve the dissemination of the graduation process.
