The intake places for each course and the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) ELR2B2 points serve as a guide for applicants to make an informed choice for their applications.
 

(Note: ELR2B2 points is the net aggregate (after deducting CCA bonus points) of the lowest ranked students who were admitted to these course through JAE. Therefore, ELR2B2 point for each course of that year can only be determined after the JAE Posting which is based on applicants' ranking and the intake places of each course.)
