My company recently concluded the yearly scholarship award for undergraduate students, and out of about 25,000 applicants nationwide, less than 20% had over 60%. They even had to cut down on the paas mark because the couldnt get the required number they wanted. My point exactly is that, is it the fault of employers when they want to recuite, if undergraduates that are still fresh cannot do simple arithmetics.

Its a shame on this nation.

Interesting.
What was their criteria for selection? Which schools, which disciplines? What year? Typically 100L is not a good year to select bright students.
