EAE (ITE) for Sec 4NA Students

    The Early Admission Exercise (EAE) is an
   aptitude and interest-based exercise that
      allows your child to apply and receive
  conditional offers from ITEs prior to receiving
    the final N-level results, i.e. before the JIE
           exercise with everyone else.

                                        20
It’s for those who have aptitudes and
1   interests in specific fields of study
    • Focus on course-specific aptitudes and interests
    • But, non-course-specific achievements, e.g. sports,
      performing arts, leadership, are also considered

      2     You’ll be assessed through different
            modes
              • E.g. interviews, aptitude tests, showcasing your
                portfolio, depending on the course you apply for

               3     All this will take place before your N-
                     Level exams
                     • If your application is successful, ITE will give
                       you a conditional offer before you take the N-
                       Level exams
                                                     21
You’ll still have to meet the minimum
4   entry requirements
    • Most Nitec courses have subject-specific minimum entry
      requirements

                               (…or your offer will be
                               revoked)

               But you won’t have to compete for
         5     admission to ITE strictly on the basis of
               how well you do academically compared to
               everyone else
