NETIZENS across social media platforms aired their dismay as several companies included in their job requirements for applicants to be graduate of the country’s so-called Top 4 schools.

In a trending Facebook post, netizens slammed the requirement as ‘elitist.’

“Sad but yes there are other companies na required talaga ‘to,” one netizen said.

“(I) don’t understand how they think the university translate to the competence of workers. Sad,” another added.

According to topuniversities.com, the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, and the University of Santo Tomas are considered the four top schools in the country.

Students from different universities and colleges also expressed their disappointment and called for a review of hiring processes in companies.
