"But it is clear that this has been a real failure. It should be noted that success is very satisfactory, because every year we reach the 100%. However, once the certificate is in hand it is problematic because these graduates are struggling to find a job, or when they succeed, it is to practice a profession unrelated to what they have studied at the university , "says the senior official. "Most often it is to call centers they are doomed to fall back," he adds.

However, prior to the removal of these university programs, the Minister of Higher Education, Rajesh Jeetah, intends to order a first evaluation exercise, " this in order to identify courses that will ensure employment opportunities for students, " advance the aide of the Minister.
