Should be interesting also to see in the long run if individual public universities will try to improve their rankings and how, and how this will affect the centralisation of university administration at the ministry. I wonder if they are also going to rank departments/courses?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1127480326617785522005-09-23T20:58:00.000+08:002005-09-23T20:58:00.000+08:00Strictly for my personal recruitment process, cand...Strictly for my personal recruitment process, candidates possessing a M Sc. or an MBA from <I>most</I> universities (local and overseas) makes absolutely zero difference to my recruitment process. Yes, I totally ignore it.<BR/><BR/>I will shortlist purely from review the degree level education - university attended, results as well as other leadership and co-curricular activities (where relevant).<BR/><BR/>The quality of postgraduate education at all local, and most overseas universities are largely extremely poor. Many candidates take up the local postgraduate programs often to "mask" their poorer results from their degree qualifications. My scepticism with the postgrad programs are due to candidates often scoring very very high marks, despite having done poorly for their degree programs.<BR/><BR/>What about postgrad programs from renown universities (somewhere like Duke Uni, where Kian Ming is!)? Those are excellent programmes/universities, but they are unlikely to be very relevant for my selection process because, they would probably have done really well for their degree program at a premier university anyway. :)<BR/><BR/>Tony PGolf Afflictedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363347839543221577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1127467906889984772005-09-23T17:31:00.000+08:002005-09-23T17:31:00.000+08:00Political undertones will likely taint the results...Political undertones will likely taint the results of this ranking. I do hope I'm wrong.<BR/><BR/>It's also interesting to note (correct me if I'm wrong) that none of the business schools (or MBA courses) in the M'sian public universities have not been accredited by any of the European or American accreditation bodies like EQUIS, AACSB or AMBA.clkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700265260371403083noreply@blogger.com
