Abstract
This paper examines the relative efficiency of 20 public universities of Malaysia in the students’ transition process in 2011.Three input and five output values are defined to estimate the relative efficiency of the universities through the marketability of the graduated students; either they manage to get a job, or further their studies or being unemployed. Data were gathered from Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia and Ministry of Education Graduate Tracer Study websites. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to measure the relative efficiency of the universities as well as rank and benchmark them. The results of applying DEA models in Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) show that University Technology MARA is the most efficient university in Malaysia followed by University Malaysia Terengganu and University of Malaya. Keywords: Data envelopment analysis, Kourosh and Arash model, Efficiency, Ranking, University.
