Just wondering though, will JLC requirements still be a top 5% or a top 10%? |
The
NUS move should be seen in context. The reason it's easier to attain honours overseas is because the grading policy for each module is less strict (e.g. some schools do not impose a bell curve). What
NUS is doing is to relax the honours requirement while maintaining a strict grading policy. This won't help students that much since given the tight competition for
TCs, many firms now look at an applicant's grades rather than his/her class of honours.
