Question 1

“Employment_GBA.csv” records the Graduate Employment Survey (GES), a collaborative effort among NTU, NUS, SMU, SIT (since 2014), SUTD (since 2015), and SUSS (since 2018) to conduct an annual survey of graduate employment conditions approximately six months after their final examinations. The Ministry of Education (MOE) publishes the results of key
employment indicators from this survey to provide prospective students with timely and comparable data, enabling them to make informed decisions about their courses. Graduates from NTU, NUS, SMU, and SUSS are surveyed in November. However, due to differences in academic calendars, graduates from SUTD and SIT are surveyed in February and March, respectively.
