Hi,


What is the percentage of the O level students going Jcs? Mostly jcs like vjc, sajc?

For the past few years it had been between 98.1% to 100% eligible for JC (only know for the last few yrs that I went back and when I was a student).

Exact percentage of ppl actually going to JC is not really told since is really based on personal preference. (no one really went to collate )

As far as I know, majority of the JC ppl are in VJ (arn 60 to 90 ppl each yr) and NYJC (also arn 80 to 90 ppl each yr). The ppl that go HCJC and RJC usually adds up to arn 20+ usually. The rest is usually in AJ/SR/MJ/SA

Saw in Nanyang JC trend someone posted some stats on the intake of Nanyang JC, Nan Chiau is one of the main feeder secondary sch for Nanyang JC.


I copied the post below:

[quote=\"phtthp\"]anyone know, based on this year 2017 JC1 intake latest batch (born in the year 2000): After minus away the group of affliated students coming from combined Chung Cheng Secondary (@Main & Yishun) school branches, roughly / approximately, how many places (vacancies) are left, for the acceptance intake of JAE (GCE O-level) NON-Affliated students, who were able to meet Nanyang Junior College Cut-off-point (both Science & Arts stream) ?

I am not entirely sure of the absolute number of students from Chung Cheng but I am certain that there are a great mix of students from other secondary schools as well. It was as claimed that students enrolling from as many as 80+ sec schools. Nonetheless, it is still based on meritocracy and acceptance is based on merits (6 for Science, 7 for Arts).

I am afraid I can't answer much to your question about Physics vs Biology in NYJC as I do not have in-depth knowledge on its operation. Perhaps attend their Open House in 2018. From what I know, NYJC is quite strong in their Sciences.

If I am not mistaken for the last 3 years Nan Chiau High was the main feeder school for NYJC, with about 96 students for year 2016 (Chung Cheng High 2 sch combined was a notch more than 100). That is more than Chung Cheng Main or Chung Cheng Yishun if counting on single schools. The rest of the 600 plus vacancies is distributed among students from der rest of der 198 schools.

For 2017, the bulk is shared among Nan Chiau High, Nan Hua High and the affiliated Chung Cheng High (Main & Yishun).

So actually there is no need to worry too much of the affiliation matters. As long as your DC meets the criteria he/she shd be able to get in. (its not dat competitive compared to IP schools like NJC, HCI, RI and Eunoia JC where there only 200 plus vacancies)

The photo I happen to have here is the students from Nan Chiau High in 2016 J1 (might not be complete). Was shared around in the group the other time.

Are these 2 ways the fastest ways to get to NCHS fm Sembawang (near MRT) in morning? Any advises are welcome. TIA

Fm Sembawang
1) 117 change 965 along Yishun then change 372 at the stop before Sengkang Int (alight at NCHS side gate)
2) 858 change 965 at Yishun then change 372 at the stop before Sengkang Int (alight at NCHS side gate)

Walking from Sengkang mrt to NCHS is the prefer way, take approximately 5 mins.
The interval for bus 372 is quite long.
If you miss the bus, it may take 10 mins for another one.

Cannot remember the percentage of students going to Jcs.
But I remember clearly, for the past 4 years (2013 to 2016) , more than 50% (less than 55%) of the students obtained L1R5 of less or equal to 10 pts.


NCHS students prefer to go to NYJC.

Actually the walking distance is not as far as you think.
Students know how to take the shortest route by walking through the HDB block.
Most students choose to walk rather than taking bus 372 as each bus interval is quite long.

Hi, can I check with you all since Cheng Chung (CC) is affiliated to NYJC, does that infer that CC students have the advantage when it comes to O level L1R5 total points as compared to NCHS students when being considered for NYJC entry? If true, a CC student seemingly needs lesser effort to hit the required score as compared to other students who are non-affiliated to enter NYJC, right? I’m now considering between NC and CC for my DD. Thanks a lot.

Being affiliated to a JC isn't a huge advantage. There are bonus points (2 points) if you choose the affiliated JC as your first, or first and second choice. However, you can earn the points from elsewhere and there is a cap to the bonus points you can earn (4 points from the section). See http://www.ifaq.gov.sg/moe/apps/fcd_faqmain.aspx#FAQ_55558.
