Most of the comments in this forum are from the Polytechnic and A level students. I did not see many discussions from IB Diploma holders. I do not think the Unis show the Grade Profile of IB Diploma holders in the respective websites.

Do most IB Diploma holders go overseas?

If you're posting about International Business, you're still eligible for business. Else, if you're talking about IB type diplomas, I don't think IB diplomas are recognized by the 3 local unis.

Sample size of students taking IB and NUS High exams is too small to provide representative indicative grade profiles for these qualifications

You can still obtain approximate IGP from hearsay though

I am posting about International Baccalaureate Diploma.

It has to be recognized by the local Unis. Schools under MOE such as ACS (Independent), SJI (Independent) and SOTA etc are running the IB Diploma.

IB is definitely not recognised by local unis. That's why many of our local IB students end up studying overseas at LSE, Cambridge, Harvard, and Stanford, just to name a few. Sad truth really.

IB is definitely recognise locally. It is recognised internationally. There is no reason for our local unis which has great international standing not to recognise IB. Just that the number of students doing IB is a lot more fewer than A level students. So no IGP for IB.
