Last month, Nanyang Technological University organized an exclusive, invitation-only career fair called NTUtopia, which was open to undergraduates from scholar programmes or with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.75 out of 5.
Some undergraduates who did not fall into the above categories said they were not aware of this event until their friends who received the e-mail spoke about it.
According to Professor Tan Ooi Kiang, NTU’s Associate Provost (Undergraduate Education), about 3,600 students were invited to the fair based on their achievements in academic or co-curricular activities.
At the fair, students were allowed to pass their resume to participating employers from both the public and private sectors.
Among the participating employers from the public service were the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority.
