Keywords:

Background: Cognitive skills determine how a person thinks, learns, and understands things. A student’s success may be determined by the strength of cognitive skills. Employment has become a very sensitive issue for graduates in recent times. The researcher examined the effects of cognitive ability on improving employability skills among postgraduate students in a university. Aim of the Study: This study was conducted to see the effects of cognitive and employability skills. Methods: The authors applied the descriptive survey method in order to convert the data into natural log units. The Likert scale method was used to collect primary data on cognitive ability and employability skills in a survey research method that used a questionnaire. The simple random sampling technique was used in the present study. Results: It is inferred that among the six predictors, one dimension of numerical reasoning had the highest standardized coefficients beta, which indicates that it was the most important factor contributing to outcome-based education followed by spatial reasoning, logical reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, verbal reasoning, and abstract reasoning.
