The main problem with SIM is it is not able to distinguish itself from all the other private service providers out there. I doubt most companies really distinguish betweeb SIM, MDIS, Kaplan, SHRI etc. To them, all are really just "bought a cert".
The government pays lip service as part of the "regardless of
ite, poly, uni have a future" message that they are selling, but in reality some ministries just hire a few token UniSIM grads at inconsequential departments to please the higher ups.
Truth is that as long as you pay school fees on time, it is impossible to fail in any of these companies. Also the standards of getting a second or first class honors are so abysmally low that all sorts of dubious characters are proudly displaying their trophy. No thesis, no serious academic guided FYP, no real exchanges, no strong internships - can we really fault employers for not taking them seriously?
The minority of diligent and humble SIM grads recognize their limitations and are busy trying to work their ground up, these will probably succeed long term. The majority of the slack and attitude problem types are either complaining about "discrimination" everyday or coming up with crackpot theories about how to act street smart to secure that banking MAP or MNC job.
