mindays:
A pass grade by national standards is an E grade. I shall clarify it for you:
What do you mean by \"eligible\"? if get grade D ( I presume that is a pass grade) for all subjects, considered eligible ?EthanEthan:
[quote=\"mindays\"]
I hope your niece did not lie to you, because 100% were eligible to a local U (good enough to get a course). .
ELIGIBILTY means:
At least two H2 passes and attempted GP or KI in the same sitting (for NTU and NUS)
or
3 H2 passes in content subjects, 1 H1 pass in content subjects, Project Work and GP/KI in the same sitting(for SMU and SUTD)
Meet one of the following Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement:
A minimum of ‘S’ grade in H1 MTL or General Studies in Chinese or H2 Mother Tongue Language & Literature (MTLL) taken at ‘A’ level
Pass in MTL ‘B’ syllabus taken at ‘A’ level
A minimum of D7 in Higher MTL taken at ‘O’ level[/quote]My goodness, mindays. So this is what you meant by ELIGIBILITY!
Do you know that theoretically, those are the criteria for local university's eligibility to 'apply' but practically, the competition for local U is so intense that a student needs at least 75 UAS (university admission score) with pass in GP to safely 'secure' a place in our local U?
If you are still unconvinced, check out this link again:
http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/gradeprofile/sprogramme-igp.html
The link also states that:
\"Meeting the previous year’s grade/GPA scores of a course does NOT guarantee admission to that course for AY2017/2018\".
The minimum requirement for the lowest representative grade profile is BCC/C for Nursing course. If someone in NYJC got CCC/C or any grades lower than this, he/she will most probably not get a place in NUS although he/she is eligible to apply and try only.
I am sure there are NYJC students who did not get BCC/C or better scores in A level.
Morever, NYJC must obtain 100% pass in GP to claim that 100% are eligible to 'apply' for local U.
Even if all the students in NYJC meet the local U admission criteria stated, NOT ALL will be accepted due to competitiion.
Your assumption that eligibility to apply to local U = good enough to get a place (you stated above) in local U is wrong.
Hence, even if one JC has 100% eligibility to apply to local U and another has 96% eligibility, it does not imply that the latter will have lower rate of graduates securing a place in local U. It still boils down to the quality of the scores.
Obtaining at least two H2 passes with an attempted GP is achievable even for the lower-tier JCs hence I need not verify with NYJC staff.

Candyfan, you didn't read my posts properly and came to accuse me of saying something that I didn't state. That's pure slandering and if I know of such a case in real life, I will sue you for defamation. This is a very serious matter and I hope you check my posts with greater detail before putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that: eligibility to apply to local U = good enough to get a place

Candyfan, I really think you didn't do your research on eligibility of local university. It was your mistake to assume that I assume eligibility = securing a place in local U. I said with clear conscience and heavily EMPHASISED the word ELIGIBILITY when I post about the results. I stated a fact that NYJC has 100% eligibility for local U, and you made used of what I said and twisted it to say that one needs 75 UAS to secure a course.
Furthermore, I can prove to you that a person with 65 UAS can get a course in NTU. If you had done your research, you wouldn't have said that one needs 75 UAS to secure a course. Let me show you here:
Art, Design & Media CCD/C (15+15+12.5+7.5+7.5+7.5 = 65)
This is not just one scenario, even a person with 66.25 UAS can get 2 courses in NTU
Physics / Applied Physics CCC/D (15+15+15+6.25+7.5+7.5 = 66.25)
Civil Engineering CCC/D (15+15+15+6.25+7.5+7.5 = 66.25)
So why even talk about 75 UAS when even a mere 65 UAS can secure a place, the difference is 10 UAS and that is a lot.
Therefore, if one JC has 100% eligibility to apply to local U and another has 96% eligibility, it does mean that the latter will have a tougher chance of securing a place in local U because it is unlikely for all 96% of the latter to score your presumed 75 UAS. In fact, some of the 96% just barely made it into the numbers to formulate a 96%.
And I hate to say this (results are sensitive issue to talk about) but it is integral for me to state it here to address candyfan's concern of \"Obtaining at least two H2 passes with an attempted GP is achievable even for the lower-tier JCs\". I can safely say that:
Eligibility to Local University:
Victoria JC 100%
Nanyang JC 100%
Temasek JC 96.2%
Meridian JC 99%
Serangoon JC approx. 90%
Don't get me wrong that I am using this to compare JCs. I have no intention of doing so. My point is to let candyfan consider what she means by \"achievable\".
P.S. So after all this discussion, you didn't call up to check against my statistics (integrity) provided? -
Which are the dumping ground faculty in NUS, NTU ?
Often, these faculty would require the lowest, entry points.
For these "dumping ground" faculty, what is the lowest UAS required, to enter ? Anyone know? -

It isn't nice to call these faculties 'dumping grounds'. For some students, those are their desired courses. As for the indicative grades to enter the unis, such information is easily found on the internet.Which are the dumping ground faculty in NUS, NTU ?

As courses UAS vary from year to year, it is difficult to predict which faculty has the lowest entry points to get into. Here are 3 websites for you to refer:

You will never know. The least popular faculties might turn out to be best-earning ones. Less supply cld lead to high demand hence higher salaries. -
ilovelaksa:
This is true. My cousin entered one of the less popular faculties, worked hard enough and graduated with two degrees by the time he was done. Even worked at GIC for a bit.

According to current trend, Nursing and Mother Tongue Language related courses have the lowest entry requirements, followed by certain unpopular branches of engineering like Civil Engineering.Which are the dumping ground faculty in NUS, NTU ?

Low entry requirement doesn't mean that the course is bad or anything, just that it is unpopular with students, so there is low competition. -

Wasn't the above written by you, mindays?

You are obviously trying to mislead the viewers here as you clearly stated that nyjc 100% eligibility to U = good enough to get a place. Go check your previous posts

Pg 41 of this forum, you stated:
I hope your niece did not lie to you, because 100% were eligible to a local U (good enough to get a course). I emphasised heavily on the word ELIGIBILITY, your niece friends' may not have gotten into their course choice, as a result, they \"didn't make it to the local university\", but they surely are able to secure a place in the U.
Even if Arts, Design and Media, Physics, Civil Engineering, etc courses require 65 UAS, will the nyjc graduate' definitely secure' a place just because his UAS matches these courses IGP? He MAY NOT meet the minimum subject requirements or pass the selection interviews. How did the nyjc staff be so sure if what you said is true? You have to be responsible enough to state there are conditions applied before stating that 'they surely are able to secure a place..'.
http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/oad2/website_files/ALevel/Min_Subject_Requirements.pdf
Hence I reitierate that most jcs will quote 75 UAS as the safe score for local U entrance.
Let me tell you, no jc will dare declare they have 100% eligibility to local U. If you are trying to bring tjc down, show your evidence in this forum. You can't trick the readers here by your verbal declaration. It gets to how ungracious and kiasu nyjc parent projects himself here.
And if you have no connection with nyjc as you had said, please leave this forum.
As it is, my SIL who has an nyjc graduate dd here is very ashamed of you selling nyjc like koyok in the street. :oops:
