*Including two relevant subjects from the related course group’s aggregate score type – A, B, C or D. The gross aggregate scores for the four course groups are already computed for you in the JAE Form A.

^#Excluding CCA

Net aggregate score is obtained by deducting your CCA bonus points from your gross aggregate score (ELR2B2). An A1, A2 or E grade for CCA will allow for two bonus points to be deducted while a B3 to C6 or G grade will allow for one bonus point to be deducted.

Example:

CCA grade = B3

ELR2B2-A = 16

Net aggregate score is (16 – 1) = 15

Posting is based on merit according to the net aggregate score. This is then followed by order of choices. This means that applicants with lower net aggregate scores will be considered for admission first, even if they ranked the course higher than another applicant with a lower net aggregate score.

Yes. It is perfectly alright to select a course with a JAE ELR2B2 lower than your net aggregate score as your first choice if you have a strong interest in the course. The JAE ELR2B2 of a course is only a guide and may vary from year to year.

You can find out more about our courses from our course brochures or on our website. You can also check out our Open House for more information. Our friendly lecturers will be happy to explain to you in detail. Course Counselling will also be available during the Open House and the JAE period.

If you are an O-Level certificate holder who has met the MER and has obtained a net ELR2B2 aggregate score of 26 or better, you are eligible to apply for a course via both the JAE and DAE.
