  They only survey top students. The figures are greatly inflated.

  More than 70% of NTU graduates found employment in the private sector.
  
  I belong to this year's graduating batch and I have batch mates who found job grossing in $2.7k to $3.1. All of which are from the private sector.
  
  If I assume that NTU and NUS graduates have the same chances at employment, I conclude that the private sector pays more than the public sector.
