INTERNET REGISTRATION FOR 1998 JOINT ADMISSIONS EXERCISE

Applicants to junior colleges, centralised institutes, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education can register for admission via the Internet in the 1998 Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE). Registration opens from 8:30am on Tuesday, 3 March 98 and will close at 12 noon on Saturday, 7 March 98.

2 The Ministry of Education is implementing Internet registration for the JAE to provide convenience to applicants and to cut down on the need for manual processing of registration forms.

3 The admission to pre-university courses via Internet was first introduced in Dec 97 at the Provisional Admission Exercise (PAE) for students entering junior college or centralised institute. Internet registration had allowed for faster processing of PAE applications and made the registration process more efficient.

More convenient registration via Internet
