I was reading through the EAE requirements.
Just wondering even with EAE student will still have to meet minimum entry requirement for the course, if that is the case, what is the real advantage of going through EAE? -
Read on another thread that says poly students who want to aim local uni like NUS NTU SMU need to maintain a 3.7 GPA for all the modules.
My friend’s kid can only go to poly to do hospitality type of courses. For such courses, can they even apply to any relevant course in NUS NTU SMU even if the kid can maintain a GPA of 3.7?
Or must prepare $$ for overseas uni? -

Not surprising. 10th percentile of A level students entering NUS Biz Ad (Accountancy) is AAB/C and NTU Accountancy is AAC/B. 90th percentile is AAA/A. It's a popular course.

If your child is given a conditional offer for the course through the EAE, he/she would not have to worry about whether he/she can meet the JAE/JPAE cut-off point for admission to the course, as long as he/she fulfills the minimum entry requirements for the course. In other words, without the EAE's conditional offer, your child would not only need to meet the minimum entry requirements for a course, he/she would have to \"compete\" against other potential applicants during the JAE/JPAE and ensure that his/her results are good enough to make the cut-off point.

Process
Application Stage
Students apply through the online portal.
Selection Stage
Polytechnics contact shortlisted applicants for interviews.
Offer and Acceptance Stage
Applicants will receive notification of the release of the Poly EAE posting results via email. Successful applicants are to confirm the acceptance of their offers through the online portal. A non-response will be deemed as a rejection of the offer.
Students who accept their offers during this stage are guaranteed a place in the polytechnic course, as long as they are able to meet the admissions criteria stated under Entry Requirements.
Withdrawal Stage
Should student wish to withdraw their acceptance, they must submit their withdrawal online via the Poly EAE portal. Students who have accepted a Poly EAE offer but do not withdraw by the deadline will not be able to switch courses within or across polytechnics once their offers are confirmed upon release of their final examinations results.
Note:
Students who have accepted the offer and met the admissions criteria for the Polytechnic course upon the release of the GCE O-Level Examination results (for ‘O’ level students), or final ITE GPA (for ITE students), will not be eligible to participate in the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE), Joint Polytechnic Admissions Exercise (JPAE) or other Polytechnic Admissions Exercises. These students will be informed of the enrolment procedures by the respective polytechnics of their offered course during the polytechnic enrolment period.
O-Level students who are interested in a JC pathway and wish to gain direct admission to a JC can participate in the DSA-JC Exercise, which is conducted at around the same period as the Poly EAE. However, each student is only allowed to accept one offer to a single JC or polytechnic course. If students are found to have accepted offers from both the Poly EAE and DSA-JC Exercise, they will be disqualified from both the Poly EAE and the DSA-JC Exercise unless they cancel either of their offers before the end of the Offer and Acceptance Stage. -
