The ITE Early Admissions Exercise (ITE EAE) is an aptitude-based admissions exercise. If you have strong aptitude and passion in a field related to a Nitec or Higher Nitec course, the ITE EAE is for you. We will also consider your relevant work experience and your achievements in sports, arts, leadership, entrepreneurship and community service.

If you are a student from a Specialised School for Normal Technical (SSNT), you will have an added advantage if you apply to a course that is related to your ITE Skills Subject Certificate (ISSC).

The application process involves an interview for each of your course choices (if shortlisted).

If your application is successful, you will receive a conditional offer in August 2023 for admission to one of your course choices under 2024 intake.

Your place in the course will be confirmed if you accept the conditional offer and your GCE N/O-Level or final Nitec examination results meet the Minimum Entry Requirements of the course.

For GCE N/O-Level Students:

Singapore Citizens (SC) and Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR) who have registered to sit for the GCE N/O-Level examinations in the year of the ITE EAE application;

International Students (IS) enrolled in Government, Government-aided and Independent Schools during the year of the ITE EAE application, and who have registered to sit for the GCE N/O-Level examinations in the year of the ITE EAE application;

SC and SPR who have sat for the GCE N/O-Level examinations previously; and

SC and SPR working adults with at least 2 years of relevant work experience may also apply.

OR
For Nitec Progression Students:

SC, SPR and IS full-time Nitec or Traineeship students who will graduate in the same ITE academic year as the ITE EAEP;

SC and SPR who have graduated from ITE full-time Nitec or Traineeship courses; and

SC and SPR working adults with Nitec qualification and at least 2 years of relevant work experience may also apply.
Direct Entry to 2nd Year of
Higher Nitec Course
Nitec students who wish to apply for direct entry to 2nd year of Higher Nitec courses should apply to Higher Nitec courses that are mapped to their Nitec course. Successful ITE EAEP applicants will be given a conditional offer for admission to the 1st year of the Higher Nitec course. Subsequently, students who meet the GPA requirement for direct entry to 2nd year of mapped Higher Nitec courses will be considered for direct entry to 2nd year (subject to merit and vacancies) alongside other Nitec students who applied through the Nitec Progression to Higher Nitec Intake Exercise (NCHN). Nitec students seeking direct entry to the 2nd year of a Higher Nitec course should note that the ITE EAEP conditional offer does not guarantee admission to the 2nd year of the Higher Nitec course, even if their final Nitec results meet the eligibility criteria as places are limited.

Wed 24 May - Tue 30 May 2023

You can apply for up to 3 course choices. Courses with the same title at different ITE Colleges are counted as separate choices. You are not allowed to change your course choices after the close of application.

In your application, tell us why you should be shortlisted for an interview through a write-up (up to around 100 words) for each course choice. List down your talents, aptitude, achievements, passion and interests relevant to the course, including:

Portfolio of related works / projects

Participation in MOE Elective Modules, Applied Subjects, ITE Skills Subjects, and/or ITE Elective Modules

Participation in work attachments, community/volunteer work, school/personal activities/projects, CCAs and competitions

Relevant work experience
