Has NJC sent out the corrected email already ? with proper timing for the interview ?
Ours is sent to Ds’s email account so I can’t check now.

it won't be more difficult or less difficult

DSA is by absolute merit, not a matter of supply and demand, and there is no quota to fill;

and PSLE is a national ranking exam....so, as long as you are ranked ahead of others, you get to choose the schools first

Has any one received an email from NJC for the Selection Phase 2: Day Activity & Interviews. Please let us know as I’ve received it.
