|
| What is Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA)? |
| |
- It allows secondary school students who are clearly interested in, and have the aptitude for a polytechnic education to obtain a place in a polytechnic course before they sit for their GCE ‘O’ Level examinations.
- It benefits students whose interest in and talent for an applied education might not be fully reflected in their ‘O’ Level examination results.
|
| Why should I apply for DPA? |
| |
- You get a place in the course of your choice ahead of your peers, even before your GCE ‘O’ Level examinations.
- You will join a customised 8-week polytechnic preparatory programme which will broaden your learning experience, orientate you to Ngee Ann’s learning environment, and give you a stronger foundation – even before you start your formal polytechnic term.
- You will earn credits for modules ahead of your peers, thus freeing up curriculum time when you join Ngee Ann. This will allow you to engage in more CCAs, obtain extra certifications, or pursue enrichment modules.
|
| How to qualify? |
| |
If you are a Secondary 4 ( Special / Express ) or Secondary 5 Normal ( Academic ) student, you are eligible to apply using your most recent set of school examination results.
|
| |
|
| What will help me? |
| |
Clearly demonstrate your interest and aptitude for a polytechnic education through: - Recommendation by your school teacher(s)
- Participation in Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s programmes, e.g. the Advanced Elective Modules (AEMs), competitions, seminars and enrichment programmes
- Your school CCA performance and interest / talent in the specific applied courses.
- Your school examination results
- Performance at selection interviews
|
| |
|
| What are the conditions? |
| |
To ensure that you are able to cope with the rigours of a poly education, you still need to sit for the ‘O’ Level examinations and obtain the following:
- Achieve a nett ELR2B2^ score of no more than 26 points, and
- Meet the Minimum Entry Requirements for the chosen course.
^ ELR2B2 = English Language (EL) + 2 Relevant Subjects (R2) + 2 Other Best Subjects (B2) *
* Excluding co-curricular activities
