In the external evaluation, which is a national qualification exam, more than 40% of candidates in job fields such as Marketing Strategy Planning (L5), Asset Management (L5), SW Development (L5), and Semiconductor Design (L4) have passed, achieving outstanding results. The average pass rate for external evaluations is around 20%.
