Switching course and Polytechnic

Jnatcire SG

Hi.

I'm currently 18 years old, in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Diploma in Tourism and Resorts Management which if I'm not wrong has a Cut-off Point (COP) of 10.

After a sem and a half, I realised that it is not the course for me, and I really wish to transfer to Temasek Polytechnic, Apparel Design and Merchandising, that has a COP of 15, intake of 80.

My COP is 9 (10-1 CCA Bonus).

So apparently I can only apply via Direct Admission Exercise (DAE), which is rumored that is last considered as compared to the Joint Admission Excercise (JAE) applicants. So how true is the rumor? Then what are the rates of me going into this course with my COP? Or does my COP even makes a difference?

Anyway, I just feel that I have to quit my current course now. If I get rejected I may just go NS first, before joining back poly after that. What are your views on it? Will it be a huge risk that I might not be able to join back after NS?

Thanks!

Here's the problem, hence please solve it yourself with the above URL.

Do your own research/ searches. No spoonfeeding like in secondary school/ JC.

Everything found there is nothing new to me. You think I did not do any research? Thanks but I rather you kept it to yourself.

Okay, then let's see how long you wait for your desired reply then.

Anything beats hypocritism.

And anyway, the answers are all the same. I merely wanted to hear what some others have to say about this. So... If you can't, leave it.

But now that I see it, I think I'd leave the questions for the phone operators in school. At least they'd have the accurate, otherwise better answers.
