      Once again, NYJC did poorly in securing top tier defence scholarships this year.

      Out of 93 in total

      HCI - 19
      RI - 18
      EJC - 7
      ACSI - 6
      RVHS - 6
      VJC - 4
      DHS - 4
      ACJC - 4
      SJI - 2
      ASJC - 2
      SOTA, NUSH, NJC, TJC, ASJC, TMJC, SAJC, NYJC - 1 each

      The rest went to polytechnics

      Could it be not many from NYJC applied for it compared to other JCs?

        Top tier defence scholarships used to attract huge number of applicants from top A-level / IB performers, commonly from RI, HCI, ACSI, other IPJCs, as well as the popular non-IPJC ACJC.

        So \"every year\" not many NYJC students applied for it compared to other JCs?

          These are raw numbers. A more accurate view is to look at the number of awardees in relation to the size of the cohort.

          Also bearing in mind that not all awardees are from the recently 2021 graduated cohort.

            For this year, EJC has 7 awardees (cohort size 650?), NYJC has 1 awardee (cohort size ? )

            How about this one (for example)

              Is it

              because

              those Govt board prefer to give scholarship places to IP students,
              instead of to
              (O-level graduates, who joined A-level JCs) ?

                I'm not going to be drawn into the ejc vs nyjc debate. :siam:

                Kudos to you for counting how many from each school.
                Whether you look at the 2022, 2021 or 2020 figures, they probably don't differ very much.

                But if you really want to differentiate, just look at the very top tiers, i.e. saf scholarships, psc engineering, medicine and dentistry.

                Also, the defence scholarships are not the only scholarships around. Many other types, just that they don't publish the names of the scholarship recipients. Even PSC stopped publishing the names and schools.
                But can confirm defence is one of important ones around lah. Their award ceremony is held at istana. Even psc ceremony is not held at istana. :evil:

                  FWIW, SAFOS is just one rung down from the President Scholarship. It’s importance is, thus, reflected in the location of the award ceremony.

                    She counted the breakdown of recipients, shows how obsessed shes into Scholarships Again, omg πŸ˜‚.

                    Anyway, these recipients hv passion and are bonded to serve in the SAF after graduated as Medic etc
                    Not all wish to embark career in this field.

                    As always, shes jealous Nyjc high value added academic performance.
                    DC didnt make it to Ny as I hearsay.

                      That could be the disadvantage of being a non-IP students as NYJC is way too far behind HCI/RI when come to securing top government scholarships, and not even on par with eg. ACSI, EJC, VJC.

                        Elitism and snobbery, sia.
                        If she knows the exact of no. applicants, then warrant to comment.
                        Must one apply to work in SAF sector then is considered coming from a gd JC ?
