This study examines the quality of student recognition skills in colleges in different regions of Azerbaijan. Research studies; The quality of material and technical education was evaluated in terms of material and technical foundation, social and psychological support services. The research based on quantitative methodology was conducted with the help of 2946 students and the obtained data was analyzed in the SPSS program. The question depends on the environment, teachers, curriculum and labor market availability. In this context, the choice of department is closely related to a number of interests: personal, demand for various professions, family and social influences, as well as the quality of education provided at the university. Greater satisfaction also increases the likelihood of higher academic performance. Research results showed that the majority of students believed that the education they received would have a positive impact on their future career prospects and quality of life. At the same time, ambivalent and negative opinions emphasized the need to increase the practical components of educational programs, expand extracurricular activities and develop social-psychological support services. The results obtained may be useful in developing strategic development plans of universities and strengthening student-centered teaching approaches.
