ENTRY REQUIREMENTS OF COURSES TO
NANYANG POLYTECHNIC
SECTION
6b
To be eligible for consideration for admission to the various courses in Nanyang Polytechnic, applicants must obtain 26
points or better for the net ELR2B2 aggregate score (i.e. English Language, 2 relevant subjects and best 2 other subjects,
including CCA Bonus Points) and meet the minimum entry requirements as shown in the table of courses in this section.
CCA cannot be used to meet the minimum entry requirements. For Aggregate Types Computation Criteria (for Polytechnic
courses), please refer to Table 6 under Section 5 – Aggregate Types Computation Criteria.
The “2014 JAE ELR2B2” in the table below shows the net ELR2B2 aggregate of the lowest ranked students who were
admitted to these courses through the 2014 Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE). These aggregate scores are meant as a
reference for applicants applying to these courses, and do not constitute the admission scores for subsequent admission
exercises.

deficiency.
Apart from the JAE, candidates with 2014 GCE ‘O’ level results applying for admission into these courses should also
consider the Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise (JPSAE).
JOINT POLYTECHNIC SPECIAL ADMISSIONS EXERCISE (JPSAE)
The JPSAE is conducted at the same time as the JAE. Applicants who have special talents and/or demonstrate a strong
passion/aptitude for the course, and wish to be considered based on criteria beyond academic results, are encouraged to also
submit their applications through the JPSAE. Short-listed applicants under the JPSAE may be invited for an interview or test.
For more information on JPSAE, applicants may logon to www.polytechnic.edu.sg
