I dont know about IS but between 2012(2013) and 2013(2014) the GES indicate that smu econs and biz are climbing up the salary ladder overtaking nus and ntu:

2012(2013 GES):

2013(2014 GES): http://www.salary.sg/2014/graduate-e...ublished-2014/

Oh yes, and Im sure coming here crying and trying to bring down other people here without compelling arguments make your claim more valid.

What an arrogant little snob. What are you trying to prove? That you're better? Not even the least humble. I love the way how NTU babies troll the net these days.

Go back to NTU. Most of them there are arrogant just like you and the best part-isolated on an island so that they cant be toxic to the rest of the singaporean community.

Oh wow.... really? Another ntu is better than smu post again?

Usually forums like these are peaceful till some ntu alumni or freshmam start bragging about how good they are claiming they have better technical knowledge than the rest..

Well ur technical knowledge is only limited for engineering or doing basic work job scope like data entry..

Cant stand these arrogant graduates.. reason why I try not to recommend ntu grads.. too self absorbed and refuse 2 learn anything taught to them outside their school

To OP: definitely NTU Business if you have an offer. SMU is good too but think the NTU Biz degree will open more doors. Just my 2 cents. Gd luck!

You get snatched by empolyers even before u graduate, receive higher starting pay than other unis and learn valuable hands on, technical n presentation skills.

What more could a uni grad ask for? Smu is definitely the better choice

Couldn't have said it more myself. Better than going to a uni that is isolated all the way at the far end and where most employers don't bother to go fight to employ "top minds"

Might as well pursue a more holistic education with mba teaching padegogy that put u ahead of others

Just reading this on the way to work. Am an SMU grad myself.

I think that there is seriously too much toxic here. Competition between universities is good but killing each other tends to be bordering on "taking it too far". That toxic nature probably stemmed from a time way before everyone's university careers and it should seriously be kept in check.

Just my two cents.

To TS, you would have probably chosen by now. I think what's important is finding out what you want in life. Partake in CCAs, internships, relationships, etc. Once you have a better idea of what you want, work towards it. Read up, take courses or something. University is one of the best times of your life, so treasure it.

This is true. I'm not a business student, so i've no beef in this fight, but i have many many business friends studying or studied across all 3 local unis.

TBH all business schs in SG are VERY NEARLY THE SAME. the difference is the individual student. all this talk about NTU students being more 'technical' (for better or worse), SMU students being good at presentations and networking, are really all THEORETICAL. if you have good honours and are driven to apply for good internships as well as have good EQ or know how to wayang, you will get the prestigious grad positions, whether in finance or whatever - if thats what you're looking for in life. if you have sucky grades, you will struggle to get those prestigious jobs, no matter which school u come from.

i will give SMU one thing in their favour though - they have very good and aggressive career services. so if you are thinking of choosing between the schools, this is one legit consideration to keep in mind.
OTOH the sleek marketing and constant blowing trumpet about how SMU grads are 'street smart and outspoken', i'm not so much a fan of. smu kids seem to have this constant compulsion (i wouldn't go so far to say a chip on their shoulder) to trumpet the fact that they are trained to "speak up". Cmon lah, do u seriously think the biz grads from NTU and SMU are mute and inarticulate and incapable of speaking up when it would be to their advantage to do so? the good students from those schools land top corporate positions too. everyone is on equal footing.

just my observations
