Answer me. Are you a current or ex poly student?
If the answer is No, then you'll be via JAE.
If the answer is Yes, then you'll be via DAE.
JAE admission means that you'll be competing the place for that
course with the whole O level cohort. Meaning, the only the student
with the best grade will get the course. In addition, you can made
up to 12 option. Then the MOE will post you to the school.
If you fail to get into first choice, they'll try to put you in
second choice.. so on..
The disadvantage of DAE admission is that you'll only get the
remain place for that course. Which means to say if your result is
average, you can stop thinking of getting a place in that course.
But if you are those smart student who got <10 points for O
level, then the school might consider to give you the place.
