description Providing quality education allows young people to acquire skills and develop knowledge that can facilitate their insertion into the labor market, which in turn can help them improve the quality of their life and social welfare. The aim of the paper was to analyze the perceptions of students from two institutions of higher education in Mexico regarding variables that measure quality, including the academic curriculum, faculty, extracurricular activities and tutoring, in order to determine similarities and differences and to identify areas in need of improvement. A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 3 431 students. Statistical inferences were made through a factor analysis, a Mann-Whitney U test and the generalized linear models. It was found that in the case of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), undergraduate students of industrial management had a positive perception of the curriculum, unlike those majoring in technology related areas who rated it low. It was also found that the IPN students who do not have a job value the work of the faculty members more than those who do. In contrast, the TecNM students who indicated that they are in the labor market gave their faculty higher ratings. The article concludes by highlighting that both institutions work under different conditions. However, it also stresses the need for the two of them to engage in further efforts to change the perception that students have about the various areas that evaluate the quality of  education.

El objetivo de este artículo fue analizar las percepciones de los jóvenes de dos instituciones de educación superior en México, con respecto a variables que miden la calidad en los rubros de los planes de estudio, los profesores, las actividades extracurriculares y la tutoría, para determinar sus posibles diferencias, y de esta forma, realizar un comparativo que permita ubicar las zonas de posible mejora. El estudio fue de tipo transversal y descriptivo. Los datos se recabaron a través de un cuestionario aplicado a una muestra de 3 431 estudiantes. Se realizaron inferencias estadísticas a través del análisis factorial, prueba U de Mann-Whitney y los modelos lineales generalizados. Se encontró que en el caso del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), los alumnos de la licenciatura en administración industrial tuvieron una buena percepción con respecto al plan de estudios, caso contrario pasó con la ingeniería en informática y ciencias de la informática que obtuvieron menor puntuación. También se halló que los jóvenes de este instituto que no laboraban, valoraron más el trabajo de los profesores, mientras que los estudiantes del Instituto Tecnológico Nacional de México (TeCNM), que señalaron estar en el campo laboral, calificaron de mejor manera a sus maestros. Se concluye que ambas instituciones trabajan en condiciones disímiles, sin embargo, las dos requieren esforzarse para cambiar la percepción de los estudiantes en las diversas esferas que evalúan la calidad de la educación.
