Really? How come I have the notion that NJ has a very small cohort size, smaller than DHS and RVH.
Are u referring to yr1 intake cohort size of NJC ??
For A level cohort size, NJC def more than DHS and RV, as they take in O level pupils. -
Augmum:
Yeah, I think I got mixed up. I must be thinking of the year 1 cohort size (2009) during son's time.pepper spice:

Their A level cohort size is about ~750. NJ has not been performing well in the recent years, even last year's A results not too outstanding based on their larger cohort size. I always wonder why they do not want to increase their year 1 cohort intake.Augmum:

What is the cohort size of VJC?The 2010 cohort of Victorians has done exceedingly well for the 2011 A-Level Examinations.
1 in 2 Victorians scored at least 3 distinctions in H2 content-based subjects and record-breaking 28% Victorians scored 4 distinctions in H2 content-based subjects.
55 Victorians achieved perfect *University Admission Points of 90. 167 Victorians scored at least 88.75 points. 273 Victorians attained at least 87.5 points.
All Victorians who offered H2 China Studies in English and Chinese achieved 100% Distinctions, the highest in the nation. Victorians who offered H2 Geography all posted excellent results with 81% of them obtaining distinctions and those who read Knowledge and Inquiry also achieved 81%.
An unprecedented 25 subjects achieved 100% passes. All H1 content subjects and 13 H2 content subjects achieved %A above National Averages.
The H2 subjects with 100% passes are Art, Biology, Chemistry, Chinese Literature and Language, China Studies in English, China Studies in Chinese, Geography, History, Literature, Knowledge and Inquiry, Mathematics, Physics, Theatre Studies and Drama, German, French and Japanese.
The H1 subjects with 100% passes are China Studies in English, Economics, Literature, Geography, Hindi, History, Mathematics, Physics and Tamil.
The H2 content subjects with %A above National Average are Art, Biology, Chemistry, China Studies in Chinese, China Studies in English, Chinese Language and Literature, Economics, Geography, History, Knowledge and Inquiry, Mathematics, Physics, as well as Theatre Studies and Drama.
The H1 content subjects with %A above National Average are Biology, Chemistry, China Studies in English, Economics, General Paper, Geography, History, Literature, Mathematics and Physics.
11 H3 subjects achieved 100% passes and the H3 subjects that achieved 100% Distinctions and Merit are Art, Literature, History, Geography, Molecular Biology, Proteomics and Science Research.
The 6 out of 10 H3 subjects offered by VJC that achieved % Distinction above National Average are Modern Physics, Geography, History, Literature, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Proteomics.
VJC celebrates with its teachers and the 2010 cohort of Victorians for this set of excellent results.
*The University Admission Score is computed based on a maximum score of 90 points, and takes into account General Paper or Knowledge and Inquiry, Project Work, 3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based subjects. -
There are not much left for J1 intake after most of the top schools started IP. That explains NJC less than outstanding performance. The situation will be even worse after the next 7 schools start IP soon and will have their own pre-U section.

As an ex-Dunmanian, I wish Dunman High can take in post O level students from other schools. I have good memories of studying in TJC with students from TKGS, Anglician High, St Pats, Katong Convent,..
NJ year 1 cohort is only 200. After O level, they take in about 500-550. Their A level cohort size is about ~750. NJ has not been performing well in the recent years, even last year's A results not too outstanding based on their larger cohort size. I always wonder why they do not want to increase their year 1 cohort intake.
RVH and DHS A Level cohort size are the smaller ones ~370 each.
Similarly for River Valley. Both can elevate their status, so good O level students will have more choices than competing for limited JC places in RI, HCI, VJC (after VS goes IP) -

I wonder what happened to NJ?
As expected, top JC is RI , second is HCI. But I am surprised that River Valley have leapfrog VJC, NJC AND TJC to be 3rd.
Looks like there is still a great disparity in standards between JCs. RI doing exceedingly well. HCI quite good. But I must say I am a little dissappointed with the performance of the other JCs in the \"Top 5\" league e.g VJC, NJC, TJC. -
