it makes a difference during the first couple of jobs and if you want to join the civil service. after that, it's performance that counts.

i have a first in engineering from NTU too. i move to a commercial role then a business development role that gives me a lot of mileage in my career.

In civil service, it matters for the rest of the officer's career.

Thanks! Means I must maintain my CGPA! Anyway I will be specialising in Power. Do you know any of the good company or suitable career path for me? I don't intend to stay in the engineering forever.

Civil services? What are examples other than military?
