2. It is important that students should consider courses that are comparable to their aggregate scores, for better fit and better chances of being admitted.
IMPORTANT!!!
12
1. Students should make full use of their 12 choices. If a student is unsuccessful in getting a place in any of his/her registered choices, he/she will be posted to a course with remaining vacancies AFTER all the other students are being posted according to their registered choices.
2. Strongly encourage students to indicate at least 2-3 courses where their aggregate scores are much better than the previous year’s course cut-off points (COP), so that they will stand a better chance to be admitted to one of their course choices.
IMPORTANT!!!
13
1. Whilst appeals for a transfer to another JC can be done after the JAE posting results are released, students should note that their appeals are not likely to be successful unless they meet the COP of the JC course for that year’s JAE. If a student does not meet the COP of the JC course and wish to appeal for a transfer due to serious medical conditions, the student can submit an appeal to MOE for consideration..
IMPORTANT!!!
