The current study attempted to evaluate the graduation rates of students of certain scientific departments in an Iraqi university as a model from which some indicators can be derived from the factors affecting the graduation rates of students in Iraqi universities. The study included a comparison of the final graduation rates of the top three students for the period 1990-2018. The study attempt to investigate the nature of the change in student rates annually for the considered period. It is conclude that the first, second and third student averages were 77.15, 74.51 and 72.88 respectively, for the period from 1990-2018. The annual rate of graduates of the department was found to be 52 students/ year. The results shows that the overall rate of differences between the first and second, and the first third students were gradual increase. While the differences between the second and third students decreased, which may indicate that one or two students were outstanding from the students in each academic year. The values of annual rates have shown some fluctuation in rates, which is consistent with changes in the administration of the department as well as fluctuations in the political, economic and security situations in the country. The authors believe that the graduation rates of students may be not reflect the reality of mental, intellectual or scientific excellence of the students.
