difference between a poly and a JC?

I'm repeating this again, applies for engineering degree.The main disadvantage of going from poly to uni (if u going uni) is that you will not get to score o...

hi there everyone. new here. just want to ask, for all those 18++ who is studying either in poly or JC, may i know the difference between these two? im soon going to sit for my O levels but dunno wads the benefits of each. i heard from people saying that JC is very stress while poly isn't, is there any others? tyvm =)

TTFU SG

Jc is like secondary school, but at a higher level of course, poly is 3 years, less stress maybe, perhaps. If you work hard, it doesnt matter poly or JC.

cHarLoTTeLuVsU SG

thanks for the reply. but, if i decide to take the poly route, is it possible for me to go U next time?

JC = Advance O level, u learn about maths, eng, chinese, physics, science again, at a higher level.

Poly is really depending on wad course u choose, im taking engineering course, and i still learn maths, physics, electronics, electrical stuff

Poly is not stress until u get projects, group works, etc etc. Every lab session in my course is counted towards my overall GPA, so u can say the stress is distributed out, only sometimes it accumulates. SOmetimes a few test in one day, then stress free for a few more weeks, then exam again

There is a lot of debate over whether diploma is better or A level is better, but i believe no point arguing about it

cHarLoTTeLuVsU SG

but your views? personally wad do you think ? is dip better or a level?

sir_peanuts SG

it's ok if you stop at poly, but not if you stop at jc.

If you are talking about dip or a levels, dip is better. Look at the newspapers alllooking for dip. Gpa must be maintained over 3 years, if you work hard its no problem. But having a a level would be better in some cases like tuition teaching for example.

If you wanna go University, then go JC, if don't want to study Uni, go poly.

Depends on your grade also, if you have good result i would recommend you go JC, then if possible go uni lo.

sbst275 SG

it all depends on wat you want seriously.

U can say JC is stressful, but in poly esp engineering FYPs it's equally stressful.

Sorry but your first line is very troll.

wad about doctors? or making medicines? i like these jobs, but friends said that these jobs require bio engineering or something like that? said that these courses a lot of competition to get it...

Well the path to carry on to a degree via e poly route has changed in recent years.

But in any case it's all hard work to get into local uni from poly.

There's always e overseas route if finances is not an issue.

have interest in smth/ want more fun/ freaking sick of sec life>poly

don know wad to do and result very powderful/ want a much higher chance of going U> JC

sorry, im afraid i do not know u? your last line seems to be quite sarcastic. peace.

So if you like medicine,take some course about science then, biomedical science works as well. Ifyou want medicine, need full gpa, or at least very good, 3.8 at least. Recomendation letters from your teachers, good cca records, a port folio of yourself maybe also, and a interview.

anyway just to add on, the difference of 2 years and 3 between them. If you are willing to work harder for 2 years, choose jc

End route of poly is a job in the industry, getting into a Uni is ususally not the primary focus.

End route of JC is only getting into the Uni.

The main idea here is getting clear of what you want to do with your life, once you figure it out, choosing will be easier because some courses are only available in Uni and some exclusively at poly. Some job you are aiming needs a degree, some needs a diploma, etc.

wow... i never knew starting a career needs to be so troublesome.... =(

There are always late developers who ends up into uni through the poly route.

Never ever discount tat.
