Explore pathways and understand the posting process
2. How posting works
You can only select JAE courses for which you have met the admission criteria.
You are posted to one of these pathways – JC, MI, polytechnic diploma or ITE 2-Year Higher Nitec based on:
- Your net aggregate score, which is gross aggregate score minus bonus points.
- Vacancies available in the courses.
- Number of applicants and their scores.
Academic merit is the first criterion used in JAE posting.
Applicants with better net aggregate scores will be considered first for vacancies in their chosen course.
When there are 2 or more applicants with the same net aggregate score vying for the last available place in a course, tie-breakers will be used.
Interest is a consideration for posting to Diploma in Nursing courses at Nanyang Polytechnic and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
If you meet the minimum entry requirements and have indicated one of these courses as your first choice, you will be given priority to be posted to the course.
