The evaluation of graduates is considered an important source of information insofar as it can support evaluations of the educational and institutional contexts of HEIs, not only to measure their effectiveness, but especially to build and direct active practices to improve the academic path of students. The aim of this article was to analyze publications from 2010 onwards on the evaluation of undergraduate and postgraduate graduates in order to identify the aspects evaluated, the research instruments and the most commonly used methodologies, presenting an overview of national and international scientific production. As a methodological strategy, the steps of a qualitative systematic review protocol were followed. As a result, it was possible to compile a bibliographic portfolio of 22 articles. The results showed that despite the importance of evaluating the perception of graduates in relation to the programs carried out, there is a small number of studies on the subject, suggesting a greater depth in research and expansion to other areas of knowledge, since most research on graduates is carried out in the area of health. In addition, it was possible to map the dimensions addressed in the literature in relation to graduate evaluation and present suggestions for future research.

Keywords : Higher education evaluation; Graduates' perceptions; Literature review.
