For the freshies coming into NTU this year onwards, the grading system is the same as NUS, i.e. the GPA system.
Starting this sem, even though our grades will be reflected using the new GPA format, we are still not sure how our honours are going to be calculated, as we'll still be assessed using the old format, which is a mystery to everyone up to now.
Under the old system, we're always afraid of having to 'da bao' our modules over to the next sem to take it again. From what I see, lesser chance of that happening under the GPA system, even though the person's GPA may be damn low.
