As well as improving regularity in studies in a constant and marked way, especially in the last two years thanks to the extension of the closure of the academic year granted to students for the Covid-19 emergency.
In 2011 38.9% of graduates completed their studies, in 2021 the percentage reaches 60.9%.
The average graduation grade in 2021 was 103.5 out of 110 (in 2011 it was 102.9 out of 110).
