        University entrance is primarily based on points system from results achieved in A-level, IB, NUS High diploma or Poly diploma. 0-level result is never considered for all except poly grads.

          How are points alloated for A-levels? I don't remember any points attached to our grades last time - erm, i took A-levels in 1985 and entered NUS following yr.

              Applicants using a-level as an uni entrance qualification are evaluated base on 3H2 + 1H1 + PW + GP.

              Summary of university rank points:

              H2 - A-20, B-17.5, C- 15, D-12.5, E- 10.

              H1 - A-10, B- 8.75, C-7.5, D- 6.25, E-5

              Maximum points= 20+20+20+10+10+10=90

              For the most prestigious courses, namely, law and medicine applicants are expected to score 87.5 and above with at least a B for gp plus good cca/cip hours. They are also expected to perform well at the interview.

                  Yes, VJC and TJC are the only two JCs that accept IP students at Sec 3 for their 4-year IP programme. Other IP schools don't. NJC used to do that, but not anymore since they became a full IP school with the batch of Year 1s in 2009.

                    Thank you. Do you know for the other IP schools, do they accept transfer students for sec 2 onwards ?
