I'm not sure if placement of choice played a part in JC posting. My child was posted to ACJC Science (10-2). It was his 2nd choice.

Go by eligibility of cop and choiceranking
Wats the first choice then ?

He took a gamble & placed NYJC as 1st choice (Sc COP was 7 last year but 6 this year)

Since Nanyang JC Science COP is 6 this year, your child didn't meet NY JC COP, but still able to meet Anglo-Chinese JC Science COP 8, so was posted into 2nd choice.

[quote=\"phtthp\"]Thank you very much, isetan

In terms of COP, Nanyang (Science) is on par with Victoria JC (Science), also 6 points. Just one point behind RI (Science), at 5. Impressive, because Nanyang is not an IP-JC

Well done, Nanyang, keep it up ! wow, really not easy to score 6 points

Yes, NYJC is really impressive if you look back at them a few years ago, from mid-tier jc to the top 3 based on cop, just behind HCI/RI. On the contrary, NJC/TJC is deteriorating, falling behind.

NYJC will never be a 3rd placing JC and never was.
They are now joint 3rd place as this year COP have change due to popularity of that JC.
Please take note that it is the school cohort A level results is the barometer that determines which JC is the best rank JC.

Yes, NYJC have done a good job marketing themselve to the public and able to draw few nett 6 & 7 pointers to the school. But if they were to be able to do that for the next few years comsecutively and go above VJC in terms of popularity COP.
Then we can acknowledge that they are 3rd rank JC in terms of COP which is also its popularity choice of the JCs among the PSLE students.[/quote]
Left this forum long ago. I am amazed people are still comparing which JC is ranking above which. Haha!
Don't compare lah, since NYJC never has any IP students.
Most importantly, the pupil must be able to achieve the grades to get into his ideal course and uni from the JC, whichever it may be.
I know of an NYJC boy who went in with 5 pts net but couldn't get into NUS FASS with his A level result. He ends up taking Art Drama Media in NTU which a student with a score of 65 rp is also able to get in without appeal. The course is most popular among poly students. Not his dream course but he doesn't have many choices.

Any of you has kids, nieces or nephews who did very well for A’level this time round? I heard that one of the government ministries has 2-3 more overseas/local scholarships to give out. Field of study, they prefer STEM, Comp Sc, Engine, candidates in Cyber security/technology etc. Terms and Condition similar to those of PSC scholarship.


If keen, pls drop me a PM and I will forward you the link and email address for you to liaise directly with them. The ministry will call you up interview/psychometric test etc. should you be found suitable.
