Everyone who started this programme in a year is looked up in the next year's enrolment register by the masked id Mineduc publishes for that purpose. There are four ways to be found: still in this programme at the same institution; at the same institution in another programme; at another institution (in this programme or another); or not enrolled anywhere. That last one is first-year dropout. Changing programme is not dropping out: that person is still studying. And not every dropout is final — some come back a year or two later, which one year's register cannot see. Fewer than 30 people started it in 2023–2025, so there is no recent window: the lines below are the cohorts it had. A window or a cohort under 30 people carries no rate.

Each point is one cohort, the year it started, found the next year. The last one, 2018, had 185 people: 29.7% enrolled nowhere in 2019, 43% still in the programme. A single year moves more than the three-year window above; read the line for its direction.

The same cohorts followed into the register of titles: the share with a title in this generic programme, from any institution, by years since they started. 4 years is the formal length rounded up plus one. A recent cohort has a short line, not a low one: the register goes to 2025. Some programmes award an intermediate title on the way; the register does not tell them apart.

SIES publishes no employment or income for this generic programme on mifuturo.cl (release 2025-2026). It leaves out any combination with fewer than eleven graduates it can match to a tax return, broad catch-all groups, postgraduate programmes, and — this release — Physics and Astronomy, History, Philosophy and Mathematics, whose graduates mostly keep studying. PuroChile does not estimate what SIES did not publish.

Under 100 entrants a year at one end of the series, so no percentage change is printed: it would be measuring a handful of people. Each figure compares three-year averages, never two single years; the windows leave out 2020–2021, the dip every programme has. More entrants is more places and more demand, not a better programme; fewer is not a worse one.
