SINGAPORE -
Candidates who took the Singapore-Cambridge GCE N-level
examinations this year will receive their results on Dec 18, the
Ministry of Education said on Monday (Dec 11).
School
candidates can obtain their result slips from their respective
schools from 2pm next Monday.
Private
candidates will receive their results by mail. They can also obtain
their results online using their SingPass account at www.seab.gov.sg from 2pm on that day.
Those who wish
to apply for Institute of Technical Education (ITE) courses can do
so online at www.ite.edu.sg/wps/portal/intake, or obtain
application forms from customer service centres at the three ITE
colleges in Ang Mo Kio, Simei and Choa Chu Kang.
Those eligible
for the Polytechnic Foundation Programme and/or the
Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme will receive
invitations to apply for the programmes.
The
Polytechnic Foundation Programme is a one-year programme that
offers a practice-oriented curriculum taught by polytechnic
lecturers, to better prepare polytechnic-bound students for entry
into relevant diploma courses.
It is an
alternative to the Secondary 5 year as N-level graduates under the
Polytechnic Foundation Programme will not sit the O levels.
The
Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme is another option for
students who have performed well at the N levels.
Students can
take up a two-year Higher Nitec programme at the ITE and
subsequently be assured of either a first- or second-year place in
a related polytechnic course, provided they achieve the qualifying
Grade Point Average scores in the Higher Nitec programme.
Application
for the Polytechnic Foundation Programme will start next month,
when the GCE O-level examination results are released. Students who
qualify for the Polytechnic Foundation Programme will get the
application forms then.
Those
interested in the programme should first progress to Secondary 5 on
Jan 2 while waiting for notice of their eligibility.
Applications
for the Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme can be
submitted through the ITE's application portal from 2.30pm on Dec
18 to 5pm on Dec 21. Posting results will be released online at 9am
on Dec 26.
