1. Admission matters and courses offered

To be eligible for admission into a polytechnic course, you must meet these 2 criteria:

1. Your ELR2B2 net aggregate score must not exceed 26 unless you are applying for the Diploma in Nursing. To apply for the Diploma in Nursing, your ELR2B2-C net aggregate score must not exceed 28.

2. Meet the minimum entry requirements (MER) of the course that you are applying for. Find out the MER of specific courses on CourseFinder or refer to this document for the consolidated MER of all courses.

Aggregate computation for polytechnic courses

ELR2B2 net aggregate score
= English Language (EL) + 2 Relevant Subjects (R2) + 2 Best Subjects (B2)
minus CCA bonus points

Each polytechnic course uses one of these net aggregate score types to assess course eligibility:

The aggregate scores for the different aggregate types are computed as such:

What cannot be used for aggregate computation

You cannot use:

The grades of Higher Mother Tongue Language and Mother Tongue Language in the same aggregate computation.

"Merit" and "Pass" grades for the Mother Tongue 'B' Syllabus for aggregate computation.

Higher Mother Tongue Language: Higher Chinese, Higher Malay and Higher Tamil

Mother Tongue Language: Chinese, Malay and Tamil

Mother Tongue 'B' Syllabus: Chinese 'B', Malay 'B' and Tamil 'B'

Bonus points for admission

The bonus points are subtracted from your gross aggregate scores to obtain the respective net aggregate scores to assess course eligibility and for posting.

You can get a maximum of 2 bonus points from CCA grade achievement.

If you are a private candidate, current or ex-student of other types of institution (JC, MI or ITE) and are eligible to apply for polytechnic courses through JAE, you will still be entitled to CCA bonus points.

The previous year's JAE net aggregate scores in CourseFinder are only used as a reference and do not guarantee admission. The actual course aggregate scores depend on students' O-Level results and course choices during the JAE, which may differ from previous years.

1. You must have sat for at least 5 O-Level subjects over a maximum of 2 years.

2. Meet the minimum entry requirements (MER) of the course that you are applying for. Find out the MER of specific courses on CourseFinder or refer to this document for the consolidated MER of all courses.

Aggregate computation for 2-year Higher Nitec courses

What cannot be used for aggregate computation

You cannot use:

The grades of both Higher Mother Tongue and Mother Tongue of the same language in the aggregate score computation. For example, in ELR2B2-C aggregate type, if Higher Chinese is used as best subject B1, Chinese cannot be used as a best subject B2.

"Merit" and "Pass" grades for the Mother Tongue 'B' Syllabus for aggregate computation.

Higher Mother Tongue Language: Higher Chinese, Higher Malay and Higher Tamil

Mother Tongue Language: Chinese, Malay and Tamil

Mother Tongue 'B' Syllabus: Chinese 'B', Malay 'B' and Tamil 'B'

Bonus points for admission

The bonus points are subtracted from your gross aggregate scores to obtain the respective net aggregate scores for posting.

ELB4-A net aggregate score = ELB4-A gross aggregate score minus bonus points

ELR1B3-B net aggregate score = ELR1B3-B gross aggregate score minus bonus points

ELR2B2-C net aggregate score = ELR2B2-C gross aggregate score minus bonus points

You can get a maximum of 2 bonus points from CCA grade.

If you are a private candidate, current or ex-student of other types of institution (JC, MI or polytechnic) and are eligible to apply for ITE courses through JAE, you will still be entitled to CCA bonus points.

The previous year's JAE net aggregate scores in CourseFinder are only used as a reference and do not guarantee admission. The actual course aggregate scores depend on students' O-Level results and course choices in the current JAE, which can differ from previous years.

You can submit an appeal only after the release of the JAE posting results.

For junior colleges (JC) and Millennia Institute (MI)

For polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education (ITE)

How the appeal process works

For the course you are appealing for, you must meet both the minimum entry requirement of the course and the net aggregate score of the lowest-ranked applicant posted to the course.

Appeals are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the institutions. A place may only be granted if there are vacancies and compelling reasons such as serious medical conditions like chronic heart conditions, or severe physical impairments that require permanent accessibility support like the use of a wheelchair.

After you submitted your appeal

While you wait for the outcome, you should still report to the institution you are posted to. If your appeal is successful, inform your institution subsequently.

If you have submitted an appeal to:

JC and MI: Refer to the school websites to find out when and how the appeal outcome will be released.

Polytechnics and ITE: The results will be released at 9am on Friday, 21 February 2025. You will be notified via email and SMS to log in and view your appeal outcome in the portal by 9am on Friday, 21 February 2025.
