The aim of this study was to identify the determinants of employability of new graduates in Sri Lanka. A wide-ranging review of literature on graduate employability was followed by an analysis of the country situation,using descriptive statistics and Binary Logistic regression. Primary data, being the main source of data, was collected through a questionnaire survey conducted to identify the employability characteristics of the graduates. The study found that the degree type, soft skills and social capital, efforts made by graduates in applying for jobs, and especially, the additional professional qualifications that students earned during the university career were the significant determinants of graduate employability in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, together with the findings of previous studies, this research provides policy implications for development of higher education in Sri Lanka.
