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. -

- 90 students or 24% of the cohort obtained 6 or more Distinctions
- 27% of the cohort achieved at least 4 H2 Distinctions
- 44% of the cohort achieved at least 3 H2 Distinctions -
why some schools not willing to disclose publicly % / number of distinction instead of lumping A & B as one band ? is it too few A?
why some schools not willing to disclose % / number of 4 H2 distinctions instead of broadly saying 3 H2 or more distinctions ? is it too few 4 H2 distinctions ?
it is impossible to compare....that is the objective. -
RV’s 27% with 4H2 distinctions is almost same as HCI and VJC.

Percentage of cohort which achieved at least 3 H2 Distinctions:
1. RI - 68%
2. HCI - more than 50%
3. VJC - 50%
4. NJC - 44%
5. RVHS - 44%
