* Nanyang JC (NYJC)

[Imp75]

Could it be many students stay in northeast as a result of booming population there over the years? So for convenience its definitely the nearest. Another I heard is the charismatic principal.

NYJC is popular partly because some students buy into the online hype that JIP-JAE segregation is a serious issue, particularly at the new IP-JC that is geographically nearby. The Arts COP is partly boosted by science students who place NYJC (Arts) after NYJC (Science) as their choice, to exploit the "loophole" that once you’re in the door, the system allows you to freely choose subject combinations.

It takes a long time before an academic institution gains recognition in a community. Decades, even. Nanyang JC has been living in the doldrums of obscurity for several years, and is only recently climbing out and getting recognised. Patience.

Could you give an example on how this works?

When you apply to JCs after receiving your O Levels results, got put NYJC Arts as your choice even though you planned to take Science subjects subsequently. So, if you are accepted into the school, you go in with Arts COP.

Hearsay. Not sure how true this year but such \"rumour\" has been going on for years.

This perspective resonates with me. I feel there’s good value (for a student) in being able to choose subjects freely.

what i heard fr my child whose frens went nyjc , the flexibilty of subject combi which is termed as \"Hybrid\"
so no hard line to draw difference between Sci or Art subjects combi.
Since the last two yrs cop dropped further, it seem that next yr and the yr after A level results should be /by right
with better projection of good results , high rank points - only if the jc is more open to share info

Does that mean that i can choose ART, get in but choose a combi that is totally science? school allow?

Let say these are the 5 subjects students need to study:

- Finance
- Science
- Physical fitness
- Culinary
- Painting

Other JCs’ students scores for them
- Finance 100
- Science 100
- Physical fitness 100
- Culinary 50
- Painting 50

NYJC students:
- Finance 80
- Science 80
- Physical fitness 80
- Culinary 80
- Painting 80

It appear NYJC ethos is different from others.
