      Would like to check only Victoria JC and Temasek JC accept students for IP route in Sec 3 ? the other IP schools don't accept ?


      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 ?

                  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.
                  [u]

                  Can clarify what is consider good cca/cip hous?

                  Many thanks

                    Good cca and cip records - A member of student council, exco position in cca, represented college in competition and completed at least 80 cip hours. This is considered good but nowhere nowhere near outstanding.

                    Remember must also achieve the required rank points before a student can be called up for an interview.

                      Thanks for the reply. May i then ask what is consider outstanding :?

                      Btw, how could one completed 80 cip hours at Sec 1? This topic is about entry to IP at Sec 3 right? How can one proof/show the completed cip hours for the application?

                        We are at the wrong frequency. I am referring to jc level.

                        For sec 2 - IP is more of a decent PSLE T-score plus good sec1/2 results and a contributing member of a cca as nothing to show for leadership as well as clear a selection test/interview.

                        Outstanding cca/cip records- Exco member of student council or/chairman’vice-chairman of cca, winner of a national competition, national representative in sports or arts, international medallist in maths/science olympias etc plus at least 150 cip hours.
