      My friend called NJC this morning. They said that only 20% of the 2nd round got CO and all COs have been sent already.


      2nd round selection camp participants is 200. 20% = 40 offered CO? So few? NJC used to accept up to 100 in the past years........that is a huge reduction! Are they waiting to offer more based on PSLE S1 posting?

      Didn't someone mention that they don't take up to their full allotment for S1 Central Posting either? I wonder how many the final intake will be for next year's batch.

        Oh is it, mainly DSA under cca.. :roll: I thought only left 2 yrs only so schools would like students with good grades to join them so tt the school will have good A level results record mah ... πŸ˜‰

        They still need their National schools' awards and medals, mah.

        Oic ... :roll:[/quote]There's also DSA to Polytechnics, you know. ;D But not under CCA, lah. They take in the very good students - those that apply, lah.

Actually DS only wanted to apply for RI (his dream school) but we advised him apply for one more school, so he applied for HCI as well. What about your DS?

            must be setting very high standards to accept only 20%. OR maybe most of the round 2 participants stressed by the long waiting time for interview or affected by the interviewers (such as cutting off the students before they could give their answers and start asking another question)

            Those with NJC CO, well done !

                20% ? That's probably explains why so many here were disappointed.
                What are they trying to do this year ?
                Returning to 150 enrolment ?
                Or increasing the number of S1 intakes ?
                If so then their cop will definitely drops.

                  Cannot understand the logic, if only intend to take in such a small handful, why need to shortlisted so many? A waste of their time gg thru interview n also waste our time n energy..... They should only short the potential few n not let so many go disappointed.
