PurposeThis paper explores the institutional and economic drivers of employability, as existing literature focuses on the individual and skills aspects, of employability. Tertiary institutions, possessing a strong academic reputation and standing amongst potential employers, will achieve high graduate employability, however when measured, this is not the case.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory study builds on Santos' career boundary theory, recognising organisational boundaries; those related to the labour market, personal-aspects and finally, cultural boundaries (Santos, 2020). 37 Universities that provided their employability rate, within 12 months of graduation for 2020, are analysed. The Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Ranking, measures drivers in terms of institutional reputation through survey responses, and partnerships with employers via research and placement data.FindingsThe regression explained 19% of the variation between the number of graduates being employed and the institutional and economic drivers. Universities in the same economic context, do not have the same number of employed students. Equally, those universities with the most favourable academic reputation, do not have the most employed student rate.Research limitations/implicationsOnly 37 universities provided all their employability data, thus, research with a larger sample will have to be conducted, but equally more needs to be done to establish why the smaller universities are unable to submit all the required data.Originality/valueAn exploratory understanding of the institutional and economic drivers of employability, is provided.

In a country like India, the growth rate of the number of academic institutions is at par with the lost student rate. Hence when a lost student is found we need to identify the student on the basis of information such as name of the student, institution name where he studies, class or branch of the student, etc. But the fact is that in most of the cases one never gets complete and precise information to identify a lost student. Hence, in such environment a soft computing model can be an attractive alternative to identify a lost student on the basis of imprecise or partial information. This paper presents a soft computing model for identifying lost student on the basis of imprecise and partial information. In this model student information is represented as a symbolic student object. Symbolic student object is further processed using a fuzzy symbolic model for identifying the lost student. The authors have devised a symbolic knowledge base which acts as a repository of information pertaining to student of different institutions that assist in creating student object and identifying the lost student. A fuzzy technique “symbolic similarity measure” is devised for generating symbolic student object and mapping the symbolic student object with student information present in knowledge base. This system has been tested scrupulously and an efficiency of above 90% has been achieved in identifying the lost student.
