  • You may choose up to 12 courses from different institutions in your application.
  • You may combine O-Level results from any 2 years to apply for your courses.
  • You may amend your submitted choices via JAE-IS only during the JAE registration period.

Steps to apply

If you sat for the most recent O-Level exam

  1. Log into JAE-IS with your Singpass.
  2. Alternatively, you may use your JAE PIN (found on Form A (144kb) that you would receive on the day of the release of O-Level results).
Note: You can find step-by-step registration instructions in the JAE-IS User Guide.

If you sat for the O-Level exam in earlier years
  1. Apply for a Singpass before the start of JAE registration.
