Overview
A first-generation student is defined as a student who is the first person in their immediate family (or the first among their siblings) to attend or start a degree at a university level. Students starting a degree: This is the total headcount of all fresh, first-year students who officially enrolled this academic year. The data is pulled directly from the university's central academic or admissions registry to ensure accuracy.
Conclusion
Reported proportion: This is the final percentage submitted to ranking bodies. It is calculated by dividing the number of first-generation freshmen by the total freshman class, then multiplying by 100. For example, if RUET has 150 first-generation students out of 1,000 total starters, the reported proportion is 15%.
