The main goal of this paper was to study the graduates’ status of such educational system, specially the graduates of modular courses. In the modular system of the scientific applied educational system, the students have to pass an exam (professional evaluation exam) at the end of their two-year course. Data of the graduates who passed the last seven professional evaluation exams (80090 graduates) were used in this study. Data were studied descriptively. From the gender points of view, the results showed that the girls showed more interest towards modular education system than boys and their education status was much better than boys.
