2 Eligibility To Participate

2.1 The following groups of students are eligible to participate in the JAE :

2.1.1 All Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents (SC/SPR) with valid GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results. However, any SC/SPR who was previously admitted to a JC, MI, Poly, ITE* should not apply for an institution in the same category through the JAE.

2.1.2 International Students studying in a Government School, Government-Aided School or

Independent School in Singapore with valid 2013 Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results.

2.2 All students successfully admitted to a school through the Direct School Admission-JC (DSA- JC) / Direct Poly Admission (DPA) Exercises will not be able to participate in JAE. They will be informed of the school they have been admitted to under the DSA-JC/DPA together with the release of the GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results. Unsuccessful DSA-JC/ DPA students will be able to participate in JAE and they will receive JAE Form A containing courses that they are eligible to apply for.

3 Alternative Admissions

3.1 Besides applying via the JAE, students can also apply for admission to a JC, MI, ITE or polytechnic course via alternative admission channels:

3.2 To apply for a JC/MI/ITE Course

3.2.1 Students seeking admission to JC/MI may approach the institution directly to apply for

admission.

3.2.2 Students seeking admission to ITE may approach the institution directly to apply for admission. Alternatively, students may participate in the Joint Intake Exercise (JIE) for National ITE Certificate (Nitec) courses conducted by ITE in January 2014. For courses offered under JIE, JIE Schedule and application instructions, please see ITE’s admission booklet or website www.ite.edu.sg. Students may participate in both the JAE and JIE. Consideration for admission under both the JAE and JIE would be separate, and successful applicants may be offered a course under the JAE and another Nitec course under the JIE. Students who are offered courses under both JAE and JIE can accept only one offer. For students who have accepted the JIE offer and are subsequently posted under JAE, ITE will notify them via posting letter on the option to accept the JAE offer.

* Current Higher Nitec students who wish to seek re-admission to ITE, should approach ITE directly instead of participating in JAE. Students who left their ITE courses due to disciplinary reasons within the past 2 years and recent Higher Nitec graduates who graduated on or after 1 May 2013, should not apply for Higher Nitec courses under JAE 2014. Any JAE posting of these students/graduates to ITE could be invalidated by ITE.

Students who are offered courses under both JAE and JPSAE can accept only one offer.

JAE POSTING & POSTING RESULTS RELEASE

SECTION

3 1 Posting Procedure

1.1 Applicants are posted to a course based on merit first according to their net aggregate scores (taking into account the various bonus points for which the applicants are eligible for). For details on the computation of the aggregate score, refer to Section 5 and for bonus points, refer to paragraph 2 of this section.

1.2 Applicants with better net aggregate scores [with the exception of Nanyang Polytechnic’s Diploma in Nursing (C97) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Diploma in Health Sciences (Nursing) (N69)] will be considered for admission first, subject to the availability of vacancies in the selected course. If there is no more vacancy, then the applicants will be considered for their next choice course(s).

1.3 In situations where there are two or more applicants with the same net aggregate score vying for the last place in a course, they will be posted based on their citizenship status (i.e. Singapore citizens, then Singapore Permanent Residents, then International Students). If there is still a tie, say between two Singapore citizens, the one with the better gross aggregate score will be posted into the course first. If there is still a tie between two citizens with the same gross aggregate scores, then posting into the course will be determined by a computerised ballot where each candidate is given an equal opportunity.

1.4 However, applicants who indicate either the Nanyang Polytechnic’s Diploma in Nursing (C97) or Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Diploma in Health Sciences (Nursing) (N69) as their first choice course will be given priority consideration if their net ELR2B2-C aggregate meet the pre-determined aggregate for admission for the year. Please see Annex B for more information.

1.5 Applicants who were unsuccessful in getting a place in any of their registered choices will be posted by MOE as follows:

1.5.1 a JC course with vacancies, if applicants had indicated a JC course as their first choice, subject to applicants meeting the net L1R5 aggregate of the lowest ranked students who were admitted to the JC course;

1.5.2 an MI course with vacancies, if applicants had indicated an MI course as their first choice;

1.5.3 a Poly course with vacancies, if applicants had indicated a Poly course as their first choice, subject to applicants meeting the course’s minimum entry requirements;

1.5.4 a Higher Nitec course with vacancies, if applicants had indicated a Higher Nitec course as their first choice, subject to applicants meeting the course’s minimum entry requirements.

1.6 All applicants will receive their JAE application results about two weeks after the registration period. Applicants who are not successful in their application may approach the institution directly to appeal, refer to paragraph 5 for appeal details.

2 Bonus Points 2.1 Bonus points are given to students in the computation of their net aggregate scores.

Table 1 provides details for the computation of bonus points. Please note that these bonus points are used to determine the net aggregate scores of students during posting (refer to paragraph 1.1). They are not taken into consideration in determining whether applicants are eligible for specific courses under the JAE.

2.2 Students should check and confirm the accuracy of their CCA grades recorded in their school report books and inform their schools of any discrepancies by 08 November 2013.

Special Programmes Offered MOE Programmes : Malay Language Elective Programme School-based Programmes : Centre of Excellence (CoE) for New Media

As the designated CoE for New Media since 2007, IJC has been well recognised for its innovative teaching pedagogies. IJC spearheads research on new media technologies for effective teaching and learning, and leverages on new media in the curriculum to develop our students, Innovians, in C2015 competencies such as team learning, synthesis of ideas, creative expressions and communications. The college is well-equipped with state-of-the-art Blue Studio and facilities for digital broadcasting, podcasting, digital animation and high-definition film production. Through Second Life immersive technology, Innovians role play in a realistic, virtual environment using online personas or Avatars. Mobile technology and social networking tools such as Facebook, Twitter and Google Applications are used to enhance Innovians’ learning in General Paper, Languages, Humanities and Sciences. National Education is made more engaging via YouthchaNgE 3.0, a social utility website for youth, to share and reflect on social issues that will benefit the community and the nation. Our overseas twinning project with our partner in Finland helped expand our students’ perspectives and develop their cultural intelligence. These authentic learning opportunities, documented in their New Media portfolio, ensure that our New Media Arts students are equipped with the skills, knowledge, competencies and experiences to position them well for admission to the Art, Design and Media faculties in various tertiary institutions. Student Leadership Development Programme Every Innovian is a Leader. With a three-tiered student leadership hierarchy, segmented training and developmental opportunities are provided so that Innovians are well positioned to lead others and assume formal leadership roles. The Leadership and Character Index

120

(LCI), a college-developed behavioural indicator, is used as a developmental tool to help Innovians develop and improve their leadership competencies. Leadership competencies are honed through training modules that will enhance skills such as conflict management, effective communications and project management skills. Innovians experience enriching opportunities such as shadowing Members of Parliament during Meet-the-People sessions, dialogues with senior Civil Service officials as well as forums and learning journeys with key organisations related to civic and social issues. Innova Confident Communicator (ICON) Programme The art of effective communication is a lifelong leadership skill. Through the ICON programme, Innovians learn the secrets of being a confident communicator. They are guided to craft and deliver effective speeches, groomed to speak with style and ease in public and acquire the ability to think on their feet. The ICON programme equips Innovians with the skill to excel in their Project Work presentation, job and scholarship interviews. Global Immersion and Exchange Programme Learning is brought beyond the classrooms. Selected Innovians experienced overseas field trips and opportunities to expand their horizons. Over the years, the college has worked with reputable local and overseas partners in Finland, China, Brunei, Vietnam and others. Innova Scholar Programme (ISP) Identified scholars are put through a rigorous programme to stretch their fullest potential. Programmes in the cognitive area include academic enrichment programmes such as Global Immersion experience and Scientific Enterprise programme. Innovians are involved in authentic local community engagement projects as well as overseas Community Improvement programmes to countries like Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, to build their awareness for the real needs of communities. In addition, leadership skills training are also provided to enhance their holistic development. For effective preparation, industry practitioners are invited to coach Innovians in resume writing, interview skills, career guidance and planning, to help them fulfil their scholastic aspirations. IJC School Advisory Committee Scholarships The IJC SAC offers scholarships to outstanding Secondary Four students who wish to pursue their GCE ‘A’ Level education in IJC. Innovians may apply for Academic or Niche CCA Scholarships.
