Steady employment outcomes for NTU Class of 2025

Amid a tighter labour market, NTU Singapore graduates continue to see steady employment results, with nine in 10 securing employment[1] within six months of completing their final examinations.

4,468 NTU Singapore graduates responded to the 2025 Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey (JAUGES) jointly conducted by NTU Singapore and the other Autonomous Universities. Another 66 Medicine graduates from the Class of 2024 took part in a follow-up survey.

NTU’s Class of 2025 earned higher salaries than in 2024, with a mean gross monthly salary of $4,812 for fresh graduates in full-time permanent employment[2], an increase from $4,701 in 2024. Their median gross monthly salary was $4,550, compared to $4,500 in 2024.

NTU Vice Provost (Undergraduate Education) Professor Gan Chee Lip said: “In a cautious labour market, we are encouraged that nine in 10 of our graduates secured employment within six months. This speaks to the resilience of our students and the relevance of an NTU education. Beyond academic rigour, we prioritise hands-on learning, close industry partnerships and tailored career support. Through our interdisciplinary education model, students develop transferable skills that broaden their career pathways and enable them to excel across industries, so that they enter the workforce ready to contribute from day one.”

Courses with a high proportion of graduates in the labour force who secured employment include Accountancy (96.7%), Biomedical Sciences[3] (96.4%), Accountancy and Business (96.0%), Civil Engineering (95.9%), and Chinese (93.9%).

Supporting students beyond graduation

 The healthy employment outcomes of NTU’s Class of 2025 reflect the enhanced career support provided by the University’s Career & Attachment Office (CAO).

The Class of 2025 graduates will receive full career support for up to one year after graduation. This includes personalised one-on-one and small group coaching, access to the University’s career portal, and weekly curated job alerts. Graduates also receive invitations to targeted workshops and recruitment events such as NTU’s major career fairs, on-campus interviews and industry engagement sessions with senior corporate leaders.

CAO also actively connects graduates to employers through curated shared profiles and direct referrals, working closely with talent acquisition teams and hiring managers to match suitable candidates to available roles. Together, these initiatives equip NTU graduates with the career guidance, access and industry connections needed to launch successful careers.

One graduate who benefitted greatly from CAO’s initiatives is Ahmadul Matin Ahmad Kamal, who has been an Assistant Systems Engineer Trainee at Tata Consultancy Services since July 2025.

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate first approached CAO in his second year to seek help in securing internship opportunities. As he neared graduation, he worked closely with career coaches to prepare for interviews, and attended career workshops and small group coaching clinics to sharpen his interview skills.  

Through resume reviews and conversations about career direction, his coach helped him gain clearer insight into his strengths and areas for growth.

“NTU’s Career & Attachment Office definitely helped me understand my strengths and helped me in areas where I can improve, pointed me towards job roles I didn’t know were possible for me, and prepared me for interviews. When I realised I wasn’t getting many callbacks, I went for resume drafting sessions with NTU’s career coaches, which helped me clear that first hurdle,” he said.
