if the university requires 2 E's to get in
as opposed to 3 A's, there's a reason for that

I mean a consistent standard for a degree.

There really isn't.
The use of external examiners is supposed to ensure this. But the more universities, the more shitty courses, the more shitty external examiners available. Obviously, employers in a specialist science/engineering field are unlikely to take your degree in any way seriously if the external examiner moderating it is Bobby Buttfuck from Padstow Tech, but then prospective students, probably understandably, rarely check that.
