The reality is "academically" good students and teachers are less likely to choose Private University to pursue their studies or career. Thus the academic standards or achievements are likely higher.
Thus in general and reality, lets not argue that "academically" Private University can be compared to Public Universities such as NUS or NTU in Singapore and Public University generally gives a headstart for a new career. Its akin to Geyland United FC saying "I am as good as Barcelona FC"
But "academically" it ends here.
Academic result means s*it/little after your 1st or 2nd job. (unless you want to work for PAP or government boards. They seems to like the academic pups)
Your vibrant personality, hardwork, problem solving creativity, EQ empathy, teamworking spirit and social networking skills are those which will bring you success.
I have known of many people from Private University who have done well in their careers, helming high posts and fetching very good salaries --- not losing out to NUS or NTU graduates.
Academic result is only relevant in the 1st job. Once you gain working experience, academic result or which Uni you are from no longer relevant.
