3 Important Reminders
1) Consider course choices wisely – choose
courses that are comparable to their aggregate scores
for better fit and better chances of admission.
       Institution of choice   Aggregate Scores
       Junior College          L1R5
       Millenia Institute      L1R4
       Polytechnic courses     ELR2B2
       ITE                     ELB4/ELR1B3/ELR2B2

3 Important Reminders
2) Make full use of 12 choices and indicate at least
2-3 courses where aggregate scores are much better
than the previous year’s course cut off points.

3) Appeals for transfer to another JC are not likely to
be successful unless aggregate meets the cut off points
for JC of interest…

3 Important Reminders
   3) JC mergers in 2019. With the mergers, the remaining JCs
    will be able to increase their intake of students in the 2018
    JAE. This may result in an increase in cut-off points
    (COP) for participating JCs in the 2018 JAE. Such
    variations do not reflect the quality of the JCs or their
    programmes.
   Students should continue to choose JCs based on their
    distinctive programmes, CCAs and school culture, to develop
    their strengths and interests. For more information on the JC
    mergers, students may refer to Annex E of the JAE
    Information Booklet.
