The job market for NUS graduates is globally competitive in the current environment, and Singapore itself, while one of the strongest job markets in Asia for international graduates, is not an automatic placement guarantee. Every major city for international finance and business graduates has high competition, and Singapore is no exception. What NUS provides is a credible platform, the degree is respected and the alumni network is active, but the job search still requires consistent and proactive effort from the student.

• Indian students specifically need to be aware that Singapore's government has been strengthening requirements that encourage local hiring, which means the job search for international graduates sometimes requires more persistence than it did a few years ago.
• Students who network actively during the program, do an internship through NUS's career office or independently, and who are open to roles in sectors beyond their first preference tend to find employment within six to twelve months of graduation.
• Students who delay the job search until after graduation and rely primarily on job board applications face a harder path.
