In any case, what I feel matter most is how much the school value adds its students and if MOE did not scrap its policy to present awards to JCs which value add, we will get to see how well a school can mould the next generation

Another channel is for NY to show more statistics but somehow it is more secretive than other JCs in the same league of COP.

More secretive than other JCs? Most JCs did not even release detailed statistics apart from a few statements such as \"improvement\". In fact, they were vague in the release of results, and that include NYJC, along side with SAJC, TJC, ACJC, NJC, MJC, SRJC, TPJC etc. What does this show? If that's the case, how will you interpret ACJC's A level performance? To me, congratulating all the A level graduates will be the most warm gesture.

hi,

I understand that the whole cohort of NYJC is around 1800, so presumably 900 for each level. Could someone enlighten me how many places can be offered through DSA out of the 900? Does MOE impose a limit (%tage) like secondary schools?

Thank you.

If I am not wrong, each graduating cohort will comprise close to 670 students (assuming that 700 intake every year, minus 30 or so retainees). Approximate though. For DSA, MOE allows a fixed percentage of DSA students that can enter a JC, that includes NYJC. If I were to estimate, each JC should be capable of accepting 5 to 10% of DSA students

Btw, why should NYJC even compare itself with IPJCs? IPJCs consist of the top10% of PSLE students, but NYJC only takes in the rest of the O level track students with 6/7 points (not to mention some might have come in after the deduction of \"L1R5 bonus points\" for CLEP, affiliation and HMT).


With this sort of limitation, it is perfectly understandable NYJC can never hit 50-60% AAA/A, unlike IPJCs.

.

I think this comparison was started by minday who claimed that NYJC result is better than some of the IPJC.

Be definite, don't think. It is unjust to discriminate or prejudice on non-IP JCs when it comes to results. Such stigma is a taboo and it is very discouraging for students. At the end of the day, it is equitable that all JC students have to take the final battle of A level. In fact NYJC's results may be comparable to IP JCs like TJC and even RVHS, probably NJC too. What I am saying is that not all IPJCs are more superior than non-IP JCs. Whatever your intention is, finding a school that suits one's style is one of the most important criterions in selecting a JC.

260/750 is around 35%!

Solve the percentage question!!!
Thank you for the info!!!!

:congrats:

I doubt the cohort size is 750. Every intake is approximate at 700 students. After subtracting the retainees, my final estimate will probably be 670 students or so. To be prudent, a cohort size of 700 students can be used in calculation.

Wow. Did not know that NYJC result is now good to be on par with RVHS and even NJC

NJC has puplished their details. Care to share NYJC's details?

Would you mind interpreting the details then?

Surely you will not deprive us the joy of seeing NYJC equally fantastic results?

If you have read my post carefully, I have used the word \"probably\". In any case you have not justified how impressive NJC results really is. My point is that non-IP JCs can be comparable to IPJCs and it is not necessary that an IPJC is always more superior than a non-IPJC. That's it, period.

I am sure when you said \"probably\", you would have some inside knowledge of NYJC results, or else why would you made such an audacious statement ?

You mean you have not seen NJC results ? Then how did you come to the conclusion that NYJC's results is probably on par when you don't even know what's NJC result ? I hope it is not based on COP or number of people seen at the openhouses.

And that's why the word \"probably\" is invented and utilised.
