if you pass GCE 'O' Level can:
- go JC
- go Polytechnics
Boys can register national service at the same time, and ask
them to do auto-deferment. Those who did not apply for exit permit
may still have time to do so during registration. Registration
notices are pushed from 17.5 to 16.5 years old.
Those boys who applied exit permit before 16.5 years old are
also required
to register for national service, failing which they will be jailed
to 2 years or fined up to $10,000.
Boys are not
allowed to register national service and apply exit
permit after 18 years old.
Girls are not
required to do national service. They will then
continue to do tertiary work before going to work like LTA,
etc.
if you fail GCE 'O' Level can:
- go ITE (similar to JC, and Polytechnics)
- go NS (direct at 18-year old, no auto-deferment) + register at
the same time (not compulsory)

After registration must do - apply exit permit, go to medical
examination
- go to work (if possible, without registering National
Service)

If the boys are registered national service at the same time you
have to apply exit permit.
Exit permits is not required between 13 and 16.5 years old. You
can apply exit permits anytime as long as not registering National
Service before 16.5 years old, but if you apply between 16.5 years
old and above, you must
register, failing which they will be jailed for 2
years or fine up to $10,000. Furnishing a bond up to $60,000 is not
required anytime unless there is an urgency.
