A question for anybody who knows please - may I know if CAD requires Honours? I have a pass degree from a local Uni, working experience in big 4 and bank but my application was rejected. Does anybody know what exactly are they looking for?

1. SPF SPO
2. Investigative agencies like CPIB/ CAD
3. Intelligence (SID)
4. Economist Service
5. Other sectors running on the MX scheme
I will be graduating as an NUS econs grad with high fch (~4.9), non-scholar (excluding bondless scholarships by NUS). If I join SPF, will I start of as an INSP or as an ASP? MHA site says INSP but I heard ppl with good honours start of as an ASP?
Also, I heard from many people that civil service is extremely biased towards scholars in terms of career progression. The thing is, I actually applied for PSC scholarship after JC and was dropped after the final interview. But subsequently I was actually offered several ministry scholarships including mha ( spf). However, being 19 and not sure of what I want, I did not accept any of them. I did not bother with mid term scholarships as well as my tuition fees is already taken care off by NUS. After going through NS as an MP, and several internships in uni, I actually developed an interest in policing work and is planning to join spf. So if i join without a scholarship, would I lose out in terms of career progression as compared to the scholars? My brother who works in the civil service told me that my stellar grades would only get me a high starting pay, but it won't prevent me from getting stepped over like dirt by the scholars in terms of career progression. If that's the case, is there any other way for me to get myself placed on the same track as the scholars?
Tks for the help!

It is undeniable that overseas scholar have a better progression compared to local uni degree. I have in the public sector for a while and although fresh grads with good work performance and politicking skills can be on par and supersede local scholars. Overseas scholars will progress faster regardless of their work performance.

Just take. It is around there. You cant negotiate with the govt really.
Just wait until you get emplaced to get another salary jump in a year or two.
Market rate govt for ministry grad female 1st class is 3.4 to 3.5k. You plus NS u get 3.7k. Take it or leave it.
