The poll by the Inter-University Network also found that three in four respondents want greater support for their academics, which includes helping students with learning disabilities and mental distress.
It is made up of five student unions in the National University of Singapore , Yale-NUS College, Nanyang Technological University , Singapore Management University and Singapore University of Technology and Design . The survey also revealed that self-confidence, career prospects and personal relationships were also key sources of stress, ranking in second, third and fourth place respectively after work and study commitments.The findings indicated that undergraduates have an"deep-seated and unhealthy obsession with their grades" as academic grades are seen as a means to a job after their university education, said IUN.
Those who were either not that satisfied or completely unsatisfied with such support said that a lack of quality and professionalism among the university counsellors was a reason.
