NUS BBA - Batch of 2026

4.4

Academically oriented college for driven students with good campus life.

Tips: It was a fairly easy transition. I would say personally, a year to fully adjust to everything from academics to personal chores and time management. The culture is fairly Asian. Quite similar to India. However, in terms of academics, the requirements and basic expectations of investing time would be far superior to a bachelor's degree in India. I did not, however, tuition grant is available under MOE and is the most common grant availed by students. I am quite satisfied with my university experience, as well as the course. In terms of the country, Singapore is a great place to be for someone with prior working experience. However, it is quite difficult for non-president/PR to get a job here.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is great as the campus diaspora is very diverse. It is possible to meet people and make friends with individuals who come from all over the globe. There are several student societies - Sports, Cultural and even Volunteering. There is also a society dedicated to animal welfare known as NUS Pace. NUS CAT Cafe is also under this. They help with feeding and looking after stay cats - rehoming, vet visits and getting them adjusted to living on campus. Additionally, there are sports and gym facilities on campus that I often enjoy using. This is a great way to interact and meet people from different age groups. The NUS campus life is complete without student hostels. Each hostel/hostel cluster has a different vibe and it's safe to say that there is a place for everyone. The town is vibrant with a budding community life, whereas PGPR is on the quieter end. For cultural immersion and a true Singaporean experience, I would recommend RCs. Halls are avoidable.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Poor prospects for international students getting a full-time job in Singapore as a fresh graduate, particularly for Indians because companies reserve foreign worker quotas for experienced professionals & executives. In the financial services sector, it is difficult to meet the minimum salary requirements as prescribed by MoM due to the existence of fewer well-paying fresh graduate opportunities. Most of the companies would prefer hiring Singaporeans and avoid sponsoring work visas. The university only shares postings of new jobs, it does not really help with securing a job. It is all based on luck as well as individual outreach efforts made by candidates. Even referrals, nowadays, are not very helpful. Conversion from internships is only guaranteed in some cases.

Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering Science) - Batch of 2029

4.1

NUS is more expensive than most Indian private colleges.

Tips: Students should know that NUS is an academically rigorous and challenging university. The workload will be higher than what they are used to in school. Everyone is highly independent and takes care of everything in their lives themselves. The MOE tuition grant is also worth noting and applying for to be eligible for scholarships.

Likes (Post study jobs): NUS is known to have really good placements and has a really strong reputation, especially in Asia. Students generally go for corporate jobs and software engineering/finance roles are highly sought after and common. Campus placements are not of the same nature as they are in India.

Dislikes (Value for money): NUS is more expensive than most Indian private colleges by a large margin for a similar Bachelor of Engineering degree. The cost of living in Singapore is also on the higher end of the spectrum. Be prepared to budget your daily expenses and plan savings for the next semester.

Bachelor of Science in Business Analytics - Batch of 2026

3.7

Strong academics and highly professional faculty.

Tips: Try to apply for residential colleges. They make the experience better. If not, try being a part of more multicultural clubs as those help you make yourself comfortable in the university. Additionally, do not stress over studies so much. It is all gonna be okay.

Likes (Safety): The country is one of the safest in the world. They don't have late public transport which is a bit annoying but at the same time it you split cabs and stuff it is not that bad. You can walk anywhere at night. People are not judgemental of what you do around you. However, please follow the rules.

Dislikes (Student Life): Nothing to do. Everyone just studies. The university has some annoyingly strict rules and a lot of clubs and extracurriculars feel like you are there for some extrinsic reason and have to be so schedule heavy that you decide not to be a part. I would recommend doing something similar in Year 1.

MSc Biotechnology - Batch of 2025

4.2

NUS provides the best student life.

Tips: You will feel cultural shock if it is your first time studying abroad, but NUS tries to prepare you for it through various modules before the start of your course. Singapore, as a country, is really good, safe, and a developed nation. It's the best university in Asia for STEM and Business programs.

Likes (Student Life): NUS provides the best quality student life to its members. There are various clubs you can join, and cultural activities are organised throughout the year. For freshers, orientation activities are there. Faculty plans various outgoing trips to famous and entertaining locations, etc.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): After graduation, you get a 1 year study visa, so there is no particular need for companies to sponsor your visa. But if you fail to secure a job offer, then I am not sure about visa sponsorship. You will get an option to do an internship as part of your course structure. You should choose that instead of the Capstone project if you wish to do a job after graduation. If you want to do Ph.D. later, then you should proceed with the project itself.

MSc in Finance - Batch of 2026

4.8

Dynamic and vibrant college experiences.

Tips: Know the logic, the structure of teaching in India and outside is different, so have your concepts cleared. It's necessary to network so start sending LinkedIn requests. Research about companies. Know what you want. Be careful in what you want, don't get carried away.

Likes (Student Life): Good college life, good programme, faculty is good, facilities are good everywhere, and the infrastructure is good. Everyone is really helpful. There isn't any discrimination. For sports, you should be really good to be on university teams. It is academically challenging as well. Many vegetarian food options are available for all vegetarians.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): For Indians, it is difficult to get a work visa here. The Indians getting work in Singapore is difficult in the finance sector. Although easier to teach than I had noticed but still difficult everywhere in the city. They prefer students who have pr or citizenship.
