      Hi, actually there are a number of Nett 5 in my child’s PCME CT so I think it is fine for a nett 5 to place NY Science as first choice. However, if the child only want to get into science stream, do not put NY Arts as 2nd choice but EJC/ VJC/ NJC (Science) as backup.

      I can’t be sure if there are 2 vacancies left, who will enter first? Both the S’porean will be accepted first?

      6-1 (PR)
      7-2 (S’porean)
      9-4 (S’porean)
      Merit should come first, base on gross score? The PR and gross 7 sporean would fill up the remaining 2 vacancies?

        In the hypothetical, the two Singaporeans will get posted in.

        From MOE’s website:

        Who gets priority when two applicants have the same net aggregate score?
        If you have the same net aggregate score as another applicant and vying for the last place in a course, posting will be determined by citizenship status, in this order:

        Singapore Citizens (SC)
        Permanent Residents (PR)
        International students
        If both of you have same citizenship, e.g., SC, the one with a better gross aggregate score will be posted to the course.

        If there is still a tie, a computerised ballot will decide the posting outcome.

              9-4 (S’porean)
              In your example above , these 3 candidates all have the same, identical nett 5.

              Hence, Sg citizenship priority takes precedence. The last 2 seats will go to the two SCs. But one will enter first, before the other. The better the Raw score, this person will enter , first. So,

              7-2 (SC) will enter first, before the next one, 9-4 (SC).

              SC : Singapore Citizenship student (pupil)

                Hi Chief,


                Every JAE batch of students differ.
                Differ, in terms of ?

                - differ in the Total number of applicants, who have met the Cut off point (COP), for that stream.

                - differ in the Total number of vacancies, left.

                For this year 2024, COP for NYJC (Science) is nett 5.

                ==≈=====≈=====≈==============

                Example
                =======

                say, there are Total five JAE candidates (applicants), fighting for the last 3 seats, left.
                Who will get to occupy, these last 3 seats ?

                Suppose there are 5 candidates :-

                1) 7 - 3 (say, a PR) = nett 4

                2) 6 - 1 (PR) = nett 5

                3) 7 - 2 (PR) = nett 5

                4) 7 - 2 (SC) = nett 5

                5) 9 - 4 (SC) = nett 5

                =============≈===========

                Answer

                1) goes by \"Merit\".
                So, the first seat will go to the one ... with nett 4 first. Happen that this person is a PR. With nett 4, he has a better score than those with nett 5. So, this PR enter first.

                In other words,
                as long as you are one point better than the COP for that stream, you can enter. In this case, nett 4 Is one point better than nett 5. So, nett 4 will enter, first !


                2) the rest, applicants ( #2 to #6 ) : all have the same, identical nett score (nett 5).

                So, what happen ?

                Singapore Citizenship (SC) comes first.
                Only applicants ( #4 and #5) are SCs.
                Thus,

                2nd last seat goes to applicant #4, because he got a better Raw score of (7 - 2), than

                applicant #5 (Raw 9 - 4). Both of them are SCs & both are nett 5.


                https://www.moe.gov.sg/post-secondary/admissions/jae/explore-pathways-and-understand-posting-process/how-posting-works



                End up, what happen?

                Those two PR applicants (#2 and #3), didn't get in. So, what can they do ? Appeal !

                  Hi @phtthp, someone reported the following:
                  \"Net 5 scorers still get admitted to Nyjc.
                  Admission is by Merit.
                  \"

                  Can you please confirm your findings? Thank you.
                  Chief,

                  COP for NYJC (Science) this year is net 5. However, we do not know the raw score of the last net 5 student who managed to get in.

                  Hence, phtthp mentioned that it was\" safer\" to put EJC (Science) rather than NYJC (Science) if the student scores net 5 and only wants to take Science.

                  Of course, the net 5 student has the right to put down NYJC (Science) if he or she wants, but it's risky. That doesn't mean that no net 5 students got into NYJC (Science).

                  That's how I interpreted phtthp's post.

                    Goodness. It seems like we need a phd to understand all the rules for admission! 😂


                    In any case, @phtthp's last post sounds plausible to me. So it seems that she is saying that some nett 5 students do get in NYJC, but not all. Am I right?

                      Yes.

                      Just like for RI. The COP this year is net 4. However, some net 4 students didn't manage to get in. The cut-off could be 7-3 so those 8-4 didn't get in. The cut-off could even be 8-4, but because there were fewer seats left than the number of the 8-4 applicants, some of them didn't end up being balloted in. Please note that this is just my example because I do not have any evidence to prove that the net 4 students who didn't get in belonged to the 8-4 group.

                      For NYJC, as long as there are vacancies left for net 5 students, those 6-1 will get in first, followed by 7-2, etc. So, as long as there are vacancies left after accepting all the net 3 and 4 students, and the remaining number of vacancies is higher than the number of 6-1 applicants, all 6-1 applicants get in. So, in a sense, there's no risk for the 6-1 applicants? Again, it depends on demand and supply.

                        According to MOE, the rules are(in order of priorities )

                        1 - lower nett point get in first
                        2 - if same nett point, SG has priority, follow by PR then foreigners
                        3 - if same nett point and nationality, lower gross point will get in

                        In your above 7-3 8-4 example (where COP is 4) , 8-4 will get in first if it’s a citizen and 7-3 is not a citizen
