You may sCore well in your academic, but doesn't mean you can visualize things in work. SIT is new, but that doesn't mean they will always be lower then nus/ntu/smu. No point arguing much because time will prove and look at the market, it's infact already start showing competitiveness is market. If NUS/NTU grad still wanna argue, i think it is best to look back at their cohort, the booming FT in both uni already proved one thing, the reason why both uni can rise their world ranking is mostly depending on those FT research papers and them having significant breakthrough in scientific and technological field. If today both uni purely depend on local students, where do you think we will stand in the world? Instead of bashing other uni grads, why not us local students look back at ourselves? How much breakthrough can we make without having FT around in all those field? This is the ugly truth.
