To be considered for admission, applicants holding Singapore Cambridge GCE O-level qualifications will need to meet the requirements for aggregate computation of ELR2B2 and obtain 26 points or better for the net ELR2B2 aggregate score.

Aggregate Computation

In addition to the meeting the Minimum Entry Requirements (MER), your application will be considered based on your ELR2B2 aggregate score.

ELR2B2 =
English Language (EL) + 2 relevant subjects (R2) + 2 other best subjects (B2)#
#CCA cannot be used as one of your subjects to compute your ELR2B2 aggregate score

There are four types of aggregate scores: ELR2B2-A, ELR2B2-B, ELR2B2-C, and ELR2B2-D. Depending on the course you are applying for, you will need to meet one of the aggregate scores that correspond to the course.

For more information on the 'O' Level subjects used for the computation of ELR2B2 aggregate scores, you can refer to the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) Information Booklet.
