This study aims to analyze the influence of educational institution origin on the decision to accept fresh graduate employees in private companies in Palembang City. The study uses a quantitative approach with binary logistic regression on a sample of 200 respondents from 10 private companies in Palembang during March-December 2025. The results show that the prestige of the institution origin contributes significantly by 28% to the employee acceptance rate (β=0.92, p<0.01), with leading public universities like Sriwijaya University (UNSRI) increasing acceptance chances up to 3.2 times compared to other private universities. Supporting factors include QS employability scores, program accreditation, and strong alumni networks. This study recommends that local private universities enhance industry collaborations and employability skills development, while fresh graduates from non-leading institutions should leverage alumni networks and build strong project portfolios.
