Default Pissed off

I'm really pissed off with the criteria looking for "second upper & above" for any job interview, or scholarship interview. It does not make any sense especially when different courses have different difficulities, and a clear cut "second upper" would distinguish second lowers or high second lowers (who probably did not do well in academics) with someone who just make the 2nd upper CAP cutoff based on pure academics (which is not very accurate itself).

Much attention has been done to grading of PSLE, Olevels etc, but none has been done to this unfair university grading system, which in the end divides people through this absurd classification system. Look at the modules which a 2nd upper took. Does taking easy but irrelavant electives and scoring A in them, make them a better field expert than someone who did not but score better in their relavant modules? Although i must say that the university grading and exam system is not very fair by itself. Not being sour grapes, just speaking up for friends.
