Just to share the same happened to my nephew too!


He prefers poly but parents (especially SIL) wants him to go JC. He got 8 points (10-2) and Dunman is the first choice due to proximity to home. They appealed today but many are appealing too. Some are 9 pointers whereas others are 8.

SIL even called MOE to enquire the reason for meeting COP but did not get posted to the JC but MOE officer only suggest them to go down to JC and appeal. Did not disclose any additional information.

@mylilgirl - I dropped you a PM. Thanks to check.

I thought Dunman High’s COP is 9 and 10 respectively for Science and Arts? So if your nephew got 8 points he should be able to get into Dunman High no matter what?

[quote=\"isetan\"]NYJC cut off- 6- Science , 7- Arts.

Thank you very much, isetan

In terms of COP, Nanyang (Science) is on par with Victoria JC (Science), also 6 points. Just one point behind RI (Science), at 5. Impressive, because Nanyang is not an IP-JC

Well done, Nanyang, keep it up ! wow, really not easy to score 6 points

Yes, NYJC is really impressive if you look back at them a few years ago, from mid-tier jc to the top 3 based on cop, just behind HCI/RI. On the contrary, NJC/TJC is deteriorating, falling behind.[/quote]
NYJC will never be a 3rd placing JC and never was.
They are now joint 3rd place as this year COP have change due to popularity of that JC.
Please take note that it is the school cohort A level results is the barometer that determines which JC is the best rank JC.

Yes, NYJC have done a good job marketing themselve to the public and able to draw few nett 6 & 7 pointers to the school. But if they were to be able to do that for the next few years comsecutively and go above VJC in terms of popularity COP.
Then we can acknowledge that they are 3rd rank JC in terms of COP which is also its popularity choice of the JCs among the PSLE students.

Whats there to ask since the school choice is allocated by MOE computer system and the system pioritise Merit then follows by the placing of the choices. If the child result meet the COP and place as 1st choice and didnt get a place means he have lost out to others by results or by decimal places.
The likely reason could be DHS manage to draw more 6-8 pointers to their school as this year is the first time they participate in JAE posting of school and they are in to attract some of the smartest students outside of IP programme.

Hi, I have a friend whose son meet the COP of his choice JC Eunoia but was posted to a poly. I am curious if posting is purely base on merit or there are other criteria that MOE considers?

If the final Nett score is the same, identical between 2 O-level students, then based on merit, the MOE computer system will take in those first, whose L1R5 Original Raw score BEFORE apply (before minus away) the Bonus points, is the lowest, because the smaller number the Original Raw score, the better it is.

Without all JC/institutions increasing their full A level results, there is no way to determine the ranking, however, if you believe the results of HCI, RI and VJC produced by those 6 pointers and below, you must also assume or believe that NYJC's A level results should be equal if not better than VJC. The reason is that all students are the end product of our education system, the deviation between these 6 pointers and below cannot be too large or there will be a problem, its either the system or the school. If NYJC take in gems and produce trash, I dont think it popularity will improve year after year, words will travels and students are not stupid. Its good to have competition and we should give credit when it is due.
