According to the latest graduate employment survey conducted by the 5 polytechnics, the median gross monthly salary of poly graduates have gone up by 2.8 per cent or $50 compared to 2010 figures. That means poly graduates who completed their studies in 2011 and not liable for National Service could command a salary of S$1,850. Those with National Service earned a median gross monthly salary of S$2,100 compared to S$2,000.
The overall employment rate was also relatively high at 94.7% though it was down from 2010 figures of 95.4%
Poly graduates who commanded the higher salaries studied Health Science and Built Environment, and Engineering & Maritime.
If you look at the starting pay for university graduates, the difference in starting pay between a university graduate and poly graduate is probably greater than $600.
