School Placement Exercise for Returning Singaporeans — Junior Colleges and Millennia Institute (SPERS-JC/MI)
Returning Singaporean (Singapore Citizen and Singapore Permanent Resident) children who have lived and studied overseas and do not have a place in a local school (including places reserved under the Leave of Absence Scheme or otherwise) are eligible to participate in the SPERS-JC/MI exercise, for admission to Year One of JC/MI. Applicants should be 16 to 20+ years old as of 1st January 2012.
Participating in SPERS-JC/MI does not guarantee eligibility for admission to JC/MI as admission is dependent on the applicants’ overall performance in the SPERS-JC/MI tests. Unsuccessful applicants can approach their JC/MI of choice directly after the exercise to be considered for admission, which would be subject to them meeting the JC/MI’s school-based admission criteria. Alternatively, they may consider other post-secondary courses offered by the Polytechnics, the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) or privately-funded schools.
