Singapore Institute of Technology graduates commanded higher pay than their predecessors last year, according to the latest graduate employment survey conducted by the university.
SIT graduates took home a median gross monthly salary of $3,300 in 2018, up from $3,200 the previous year.
The proportion of SIT graduates who found full-time work six months after completing their final examinations was 82.9 per cent, just like in 2017, and this was up from 77.1 per cent in 2016.
SIT said in a statement that more than 70 per cent of its graduates from its own degree programmes in last year’s batch received job offers from companies through the university’s integrated work study programme.
Meanwhile, the latest graduate employment survey for NUS, NTU, SMU and SUSS shows that 81 per cent of graduates were in full-time permanent work last year, and the figure was 86 per cent for SUTD graduates.
