this one is dr or nurse

most likely is non of the above

One Singaporean user explained that many of these organisations are bound by structured salary frameworks. They said, "These organizations are required to track your academic profile and pay you a higher/lower salary. Guys get asked about their NS (National Service) vocation and PES (Physical Employment Standards) grades, have no correlation towards the scope or security. That's just how the system works. Not happy? Find another company to interview for."

Another commented, "There's a band for public hospitals—they likely do not consider your past experiences (i.e., 0 years of experience); hence, to them you are a fresh graduate, and hence, GPA matters."

What I understand is this

NS status- it's more to know your liability

NS vocation - just to see if got any relevance.  For example, I heard from a male nurse that his experience as a combat medic helped him with faster promotion in a public hospital.

Pes status - just rule out any problems cos most people are Pes A/B/BP.  If you are Pes C and beyond probably you have some injury.  Not saying Pes A/B/BP no injury but just not seriously enough to warrant a downgrade yet

As for GPA, most likely the job has more applicants than vacancies so it's just to see who is better
