Did they (which poly?) say that DAE results would be out on 1 Mar? I've asked SP and they won't say when.

DAE is administered independently by the respective polys. Some can confirm the result earlier, some later. Sometimes, even if the initial answer is no, they can still offer you an opportunity before school opens (because other students may have dropped out or changed course).

May I know if
1) there are already certain number of vacancies allocated for DAE for all courses
2) certain number of vacancies allocated for DAE for some courses and no allocation for some courses
3) there is no allocation of vacancy at all for DAE. The poly will wait for vacancies to become available when students who have been offered a place do not eventually enrol. The poly will then fill up the place through DAE.

To add on, further questions :-
How does the DAE procedure work, in Polytechnic ?

Is there some kind of centralised computerised system, such that say 2 Different Faculty courses, from 2 different Polytechnic know or is aware that another Polytechnic has already offered the Appeal candidate a successful place ?

E.g.
Say, a candidate had appealed for DAE in 2 different courses, from 2 different Polytechnic (Polytechnic X and Y).

Suppose Poly X decide to offer a seat or vacancy to the candidate, after studying his profile, so update this applicant's computer system status to \"successful offer\", plus name of the Faculty Diploma course offered (3 years, full-time)

Meanwhile, an Officer in charge of Appeal from
Another Polytechnic Y, check up the computer status of this candidate, realised that Poly X had already offered him successful DAE, so Poly Y decide to decline their DAE offer, since X already offered.

Does it work like that, or No ?

(Just wish to clarify how the computerised system update status control DAE process of Appeal, work.

Are all the Polytechnic computer database : linked up ?)

lee_yl:

Thanks phttph for the information.

u are welcome, lee

That's why
Currently enrolled IP students also cannot register for O level as private candidates : SEAB will nullify / invalidate their application if they attempt to do so, due to clause 2.1.4.


IP students can only take IGCSE exam, as Pte candidate.

there are 3 phases. the poly which son applied at is under 1st phase and closing date is 2moro 14/2. result will be known 1 march. 2nd phase result will be known end march.

as for SP, i was informed that the result would be out mid march.

i was informed that DAE is applying directly to the poly. all appeals go directly to the admissions dept.

JAE is under MOE...after the posting, it's no longer MOE biz. students who wish to apply for course they are interested in, will have to apply directly to the poly. this is also a nail biting period because we really don't know what the chances are.

when & how do the vacancies arise, for DAE ?

is it that the Respective Faculty in that Polytechnic already pre-allocate or set aside X number of seats first before-hand for DAE students, or they just adopt \"wait & see\" attitude : see whether got any student(s) drop out of the Diploma course which DAE students are awaiting anxiously for, thus giving rise to vacancy ?

btw, why are there so many phases (3), in that poly that yr son apply ?
did they explain to you : what are the differences amongst the 3 phases, when u submit appeal that time ?

all appeals go directly to the admissions dept. that dept will process and if interviews are required, then the lecturers for that course will sit in. i don't understand why there are 3 phases either. based on what i was informed, there are still lots of movements going on after the result on 9/2. some students who appealed for the course still have a change of mind...which is why the faculties do not know how many are confirmed taking the course. they only know the 2017 intake.
