Release of O-Level results
If you have taken the 2023 O-Level examinations, you will receive an email on your eligibility to participate in the JAE on the afternoon of the day of O-Level results release.
If you are eligible for JAE, the same email will include Form A which has:
- Your gross aggregate scores for JC, MI, polytechnic and ITE aggregate types.

Before the JAE application period, apply for a Singpass. You can only submit your application through the JAE-IS using Singpass. JAE PIN will no longer be issued to access JAE-IS.
The JAE-IS opens from 4pm on the day of O-Level results release and closes at 4pm on the last day of application. It is available 24-hour during this period.
You must submit your application through the JAE-IS within the next 6 calendar days.
