Safe to put but he won't get NP and SP for sure.
he is keen in multimedia & animation (15) and information technology (15). is it safe to put these as first 2 options based on his score of 18?
COP for Multimedia in NP (N55) is 15.
COP for Info Tech in NP (N54) and SP (S69) is also 15.
On the other hand, COP for Info Tech in TP, NYP and RP is 19, 20 and 26 respectively. They would be more realistic options. -

You can refer to the polytechnic JAE website: http://www.polytechnic.edu.sg/introduction/available-courses?cc=business---managementfloppy,
What's the COP for business course in Polys?
The lowest is 6 (yes 6, for 5 subjects :siao: ) for the niche \"international business\" course in NP.
Highest being 26 for some courses in RP. -
Thks floppy.

Could be risky. The COP for NP and SP's animation and multimedia courses have been fairly consistent over the years, might be hard to get in at 18. If animation is an option, then, do consider NYP.janet88:
since business option is out, he will turn to IT like infocomm.
we will be choosing IT courses in NP and also SP...for the next few days, we will be selecting options carefully based on his score and his interests. it is necessary to set realistic options.

Hmmm... just saw the link provided by floppy. Looks like COP for NYP animation has dropped to 15 points. Used to be 18 or 19 points 2-3 year ago. -

Janet, is he interested in infocom security? Can take a look if he is interested. There is a lot of development in this area both locally and internationally.since business option is out, he will turn to IT like infocomm.

Wat abt the cut off points for biz in other polys? If other polys has a cut off point history of 18 for biz and distance is nt a major factor for ur DS, he can put it as his first choice.son's L1R4 is 18 points after CCA deduction. he can't get into business studies at ngee ann.
totally dejected when he collected. now have to decide properly those 12 options.
Personally, one shld go for the course he likes and the one that matches his cut off point then he shld be able to get in. Though the hot fav polys are those in Clementi but I feel it's the liking of the course tats more impt.
First few choices r impt, like in the selection of secondary schs. From my experience, normally they will post the student to those courses where they meet the COP unless there's special exceptions e.g. appeal which can be risky.
By the way, ur DS has done well wor, 18 is quite a decent score. :celebrate: -
Thanks everyone.
He passed all his subjects with B3 and C5. He is the IT kind of person, just don’t understand why wanted Business. A chip off the old block actually. Trying to select IT courses either in Ngee Ann or SP as courses can end rather late. Ngee Ann is preferable because it’s just across the road.
Appealing is very risky. So choosing the courses must be done carefully, just like choosing secondary schools, cannot waste the first choice especially. Hubby is going through all the IT courses with him one by one, explaining what it is all about and if there is any future. -
Allocation is merit over ranking as indicated in the booklet.
