What is the EAE (for ITE students)?

 

The EAE (ITE) helps you secure a place in your preferred course – even before you finish your Nitec / Higher Nitec. Admission is based on your interest and aptitude for your chosen polytechnic course – rather than academic results. It will also help if you have outstanding achievements in sports, leadership, entrepreneurship, community service, and the arts.

 

Who can apply?

 

You must be an ITE student completing your:
• Nitec course in Jun or Dec of the current year, or
• Higher Nitec course in Sep of the current year or March of the following year

       - required for design-related courses 
    • leadership positions or roles in schools and/or CCAs

    Get your EAE application results at eae.polytechnic.edu.sg

     

    If you get an offer, do note that it’s conditional. You still need to meet the admission criteria of a final net Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5^ or better (for your Nitec qualification*) or a final net GPA of 2.0^ or better (for your Higher Nitec qualification) to confirm your place.

     

    ^ The final net GPA includes CCA bonus points.
    * For Nitec in Nursing holders, the minimum GPA requirement for admission to the Diploma in Nursing is 3.0

     

    (Note: you are eligible to receive one offer only.)

     

     

  • withdraw

    12 Sep - 13 Oct: Withdrawal

     

    If you decide to change your mind, be sure to withdraw before the deadline. Otherwise, you will not be eligible to participate in the Joint Polytechnic Admissions Exercise (JPAE) and other polytechnic admissions exercises.  

     

    Applicants who have accepted the conditional offer and met admissions criteria for the offered course will also not be able to switch courses within or across polytechnics.
