Ingeniería Mecánicaat IP INACAP

Everyone who started this programme here is looked up in the next year's enrolment register by their masked id: still in this programme here; here in another programme; at another institution; or not enrolled anywhere, which is first-year dropout. Changing programme or institution is not dropping out, and not every dropout is final: some come back later, which one year's register cannot see. A window or a cohort under 30 people carries no rate.

Each point is one cohort that started here, found the next year; a cohort under 30 people has no point. The last, 2021, had 783: 20.8% enrolled nowhere in 2022, 71% still in the programme.

The same cohorts followed into the register of titles: the share with a title in this generic programme by years since they started here — from this institution or from any other, since someone who moved and finished the same programme elsewhere did finish it. 5 years is the formal length here rounded up plus one. A recent cohort has a short line, not a low one: the register goes to 2025.

The titles in this programme that IP INACAP gave in 2023–2025, in regular plans: from the start of the semester of entry to the date of the title, against the formal length. On average 6.0 years for a formal 4.0; across Chile, 6.6 for 4.1. 1,965 of its 1,965 titles have the dates to be measured. These are the people who graduated here, not a cohort that started here.

What SIES publishes for this programme at IP INACAP, crossing its graduates with their tax returns: employment is the share of 2021–2023 graduates who earned at least the minimum wage the year after their title; income is the band of the average gross monthly income in the fourth year, for 2018–2020 graduates up to age 30. It is the institution's figure, not a campus's. Below, the same figure for every institution SIES publishes it for — this one outlined, one dot each, with no average across them.

As published by SIES on mifuturo.cl, release 2025-2026: incomes are gross, in pesos of September 2025, and count only graduates earning at least the minimum wage; "keep studying" is the share of 2021–2023 graduates enrolled again the following year. "n/a" is a figure SIES did not publish, usually because fewer than eleven graduates could be matched. The comparison with every institution is on the programme's page. mifuturo.cl

Under 20 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, and is printed only where both average at least 20 entrants; the windows leave out 2020–2021. More entrants is more places and more demand, not a better programme.

The same programme across Chile is on its own page.
