General Information
5. The following groups of applicants are eligible to participate in the JAE:
a. All Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents with valid GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results.
b. Foreign applicants studying in a government school, government-aided school or independent school in Singapore with valid 2006 GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results.
6. The JAE registration period is for 6 calendar days (including Sunday), starting from 3.00 pm on Friday, 9 February 2007 until 4.00 pm on Wednesday, 14 February 2007.
Registration Process
7. Applicants are to submit their application online through the JAE Internet System (JAE-IS). The JAE-IS is accessible through the JAE website at http://www.moe.gov.sg/esp/schadm/jae
a. For eligible applicants who sat for the 2006 GCE ‘O’ Level Examination:
Applicants will receive ‘Form A’ on the day of the release of examination results (i.e. 9 February 2007). Form A will list:
i. The applicant’s GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results;
ii. The courses which they are eligible to apply for under the JAE; and
iii. Their JAE-PIN (i.e. a personal password for the applicant to access the online internet registration system).
b. Applicants are strongly advised to complete the course application worksheet (provided in both Form A and the JAE information booklet) before submitting the online application on the JAE-IS. Applicants who have completed their worksheet prior to logging on to the JAE-IS should be able to complete their applications on the JAE-IS in less than 15 minutes. Applicants are required to use their NRIC or FIN number, together with the JAE-PIN that is provided in their Form A, to access the JAE-IS. Similar to the 2006 JAE, a SingPass is NOT required.
c. For Singapore Citizens/Permanent Residents who did not sit for the 2006 GCE ‘O’ Level Examination:
This group of applicants are required to use their NRIC and SingPass, to access the JAE-IS.
Alternatively, they may register their applications personally at MOE Customer Service Centre during the JAE registration period. To do this, applicants are required to bring along their original identity card, their GCE ‘O’ Level Examination certificate/results slip and their Secondary School report cards.
8. During the registration period for the JAE, all JCs, polytechnics, MI, ITEs and secondary schools will also make available computing facilities for their students to make their applications online.
Application Fees
9. An application fee of $7 will be charged for the first application, and $10 for amendment of choice(s) to the submitted application. Only one amendment is allowed. JAE applicants will NOT need to make their fee payment online during the JAE period. All JAE application fees will only be collected after the exercise, by the institution (i.e. JC, polytechnic, MI or ITE) that the applicant is eventually enrolled in.
Results of Application
10. The results of the JAE application are tentatively scheduled for release on 6 March 2007 through the following modes:
a. Form D (containing the posting results) will be sent to all applicants via mail
b. JAE IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System): 6691-2131
c. JAE-IS, accessible through the JAE website at http://www.moe.gov.sg/esp/schadm/jae
Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise (JPSAE)
11. The JPSAE will be conducted, together with the JAE, from 9 February 2007 to 14 February 2007. A student can apply concurrently to both the JPSAE and JAE. Successful applicants may be offered a course under the JAE and the same or another course under the JPSAE. Students who are offered courses under both JAE and JPSAE can decide to accept one of the two offers and exercise it during the enrolment period set by the polytechnics.
12. The JPSAE complements the existing JAE, by allowing polytechnics to consider applicants based on a broader measure of merits beyond performance in the GCE ‘O’ Level Examination. Under the JPSAE, each polytechnic will be able to admit up to 5 per cent of their annual intake of students based on their special talents and aptitude. Each polytechnic will have the discretion to determine its modes of assessing applicants’ talents and achievements, including portfolios and interviews, among others. The polytechnics will set their own respective selection criteria to ensure that only applicants who are able to cope with the rigours of a diploma education are admitted. Details on the JPSAE can be found at http://www.polytechnic.edu.sg/jpsae and on the respective polytechnics’ websites.
