SINGAPORE: The proportion of university graduates who found permanent full-time employment six months after their final exams dropped by slightly more than 10 per cent in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey found that 69.8 per cent of fresh graduates found permanent full-time jobs last year, down from 81.7 per cent in 2019. The survey polled 11,800 fresh graduates from full-time programmes at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU) and the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). The graduates were surveyed on their employment status as at Nov 1, 2020, about six months after they completed their final examinations. “The six AUs (autonomous universities) have stepped up efforts to support their graduates amidst the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the universities in a joint press release on Friday (Feb 19) “On top of providing extensive career guidance and support which includes job matching, personalised career coaching and planning, and complimentary continuing education and training courses, the AUs have also tapped on their network of industry partners to curate suitable job placement and apprenticeship opportunities for graduates, such as the SGUnited Traineeships.” Of the graduates who found employment, the percentage of those in part-time or temporary jobs rose sharply from 7 per cent to 22.3 per cent, the survey showed. Graduates on the SGUnited Traineeships Programme made up 16.9 percentage points of this figure. About half of this group said they were in involuntary part-time or temporary employment, a sharp increase from the more than one-third of this group in 2019, the survey showed. About 1.5 per cent of graduates found freelance work, down from 2 per cent in 2019. Overall, 93.6 per cent of graduates found employment within six months of completing their final examinations, up from 90.7 per cent in 2019. The median gross monthly salary among fresh graduates in permanent full-time jobs was S$3,700, up from S$3,600 in 2019, said the universities in the press release. Similar to 2019, graduates from information and digital technologies, health sciences and business clusters registered the highest percentages of permanent full-time employment, the survey showed. Most clusters saw no change in median gross monthly salaries, but those in arts, design and media, engineering, and information and digital technologies saw increases of S$100, S$150 and S$360 respectively in 2020. EMPLOYMENT STATUS OF GRADUATES IN FOLLOW-UP SURVEY In a follow up survey, 827 graduates from NUS, NTU and SMU were surveyed on their employment status on Nov 1, 2020. This was conducted for courses that typically require post-graduate practical training before the graduates can practise in their professions. The graduates polled were from the Architecture class of 2017, and the biomedical sciences and Chinese medicine, law, medicine, and pharmacy courses who finished their first year of training upon graduation in 2019. Of those who were employed, 96.8 per cent had jobs after completing their training last year, a slight decrease from 98.6 per cent in 2019, the survey showed. 93.5 per cent of those employed had secured permanent full-time jobs, a slight decrease from 96.4 per cent in 2019. Another 0.3 per cent were freelancing, compared to 0.6 per cent the previous year. The proportion of those in part-time or temporary employment also increased to 3 per cent, up from 1.6 per cent in 2019. Graduates under the SGUnited Traineeship Programme made up 1.3 percentage points of this figure, said the universities in the press release. Of those in part-time or temporary employment, slightly more than half said this was involuntary. The median gross monthly salary of those who found permanent full-time jobs in this group dropped from S$4,800 in 2019 to S$4,625 in 2020. The surveys for SIT and SUTD graduates are currently ongoing and will be released at a later date, the press release read. Source: CNA/hw(ta)

DBS is facing legal tussles in India arising from its recent takeover of troubled Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB), but maintains that provisions have already been made on this front. In response to queries from The Business Times, it acknowledged that lawsuits have been filed by holders of equity shares and the tier II bonds written off prior to the effective date of amalgamation in various high courts in India. However, DBS said in a statement that while DBS India has been named as a respondent, the primary respondents would be the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India who have drafted and approved the Scheme of Amalgamation. DBS went on to state that it has "no incremental unprovided risks" on these lawsuits. "Other legal liabilities in the normal course of business have also been suitably provided for," it added. BT understands that senior counsel has since been engaged to represent DBS India. In its full-year results briefing last week, DBS chief financial officer Chng Sok Hui had said asset quality was "dealt with decisively", as general allowances of S$183 million were conservatively set aside, amounting to 9.5 per cent of LVB's performing loans. Singapore's largest bank took over LVB late last year, in what was said to be the first time Indian authorities have turned to a foreign lender to bail out a struggling local rival. Cash-starved LVB has been seeking rescue since 2019, with consecutive losses over the past three years, coupled with mounting governance issues and bad debt. DBS chief Piyush Gupta had said that he is "optimistic" and "fairly confident" that its takeover of LVB is expected to turn profitable in the next 12 to 24 months, with asset quality concerns accounted for. The LVB deal added two million retail and 125,000 corporate customers to scale up DBS India's deposit base, accelerating the group's digital banking push in South India, he added. Overall, total deposits grew 59 per cent to S$9 billion as the franchise also expanded to 600 branches and 1,000 ATMs in India. In a report by UOB Kay Hian on Friday, the brokerage wrote that it is concerned that the ongoing lawsuits will create legal uncertainties for DBS India. "It is unfortunate for DBS to be hit by two ongoing lawsuits since the completion of amalgamation of DBI (DBS India) and LVB," said the report, describing it as a "double whammy". Among them is a petition filed by troubled Indian finance company Religare Finvest Ltd (RFL) with the Delhi High Court to substitute DBS India as the defendant instead of LVB in its lawsuit involving the misappropriation of funds worth Rs 750 crores (about S$137 million). This amount has reportedly jumped to Rs 750 crores on accrued interest. This was filed on the ground of the merger of the two banks. Two senior LVB employees were alleged to have been in cahoots with former owners of RFL Malvinder Mohan Singh and Shivinder Mohan Singh to misappropriate RFL's fixed deposits. The UOB Kay Hian report also cited that India's Madras High Court has directed DBS India to provide an undertaking of cash compensation to previous LVB shareholders and create a reserve funding amounting to the face value of LVB shares, estimated to be at Rs 781 crores. This was a "negative surprise", according to analysts, as the amalgamation was supposed to have written off the equity shares of the bank. The brokerage maintains a "hold" call on the bank. DBS' shares closed at S$25.63 on Friday, down 13 cents or 0.51 per cent. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/dbs-facing-legal-woes-in-india-arising-from-lvb-acquisition
