Abstract
Graduation is dream of every child in education either technical or non-technical. Now a days, colleges and universities are founding like real estate houses. They offer courses in a unique way to attract admissions in their locations. Every year, number of graduates are increasing. Unfortunately, employment of them is not in the same pace. Unemployment of graduates in rural places like Mandya district is more. The present study focussed on factors affecting unemployment of graduates in Mandya district. The goals of this research are to examine the characteristics of the people who participated in the survey and to identify the causes of graduate unemployment in the Mandya area. Primary data was gathered using a standardised questionnaire for this exploratory project. For descriptive statistics (such as percentages, means, and standard deviations), we use SPSS version 20 to analyse the data. For hypothesis testing, we use a one-sample t-test. All of the variables' computed p-values were less than 0.05 at the 5% significance level. The null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis, which states that "There are factors affecting the unemployment of graduates in Mandya district," is accepted. Further, output of the study shall be used for making policies on employment in the rural or semi-urban areas like Mandya district. Concerned authorities viz., departments of government or its agencies shall make use of inputs from this study for minimization of unemployment.
