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.
