Indicative Grade Profile

Indicative Grade Profiles of the 10th and 90th percentiles of A-Level and Polytechnic Applicants offered places in the last academic year can be found here.

NUS provides notification of grade profiles to help you make informed choices in your application for admission to NUS undergraduate programmes. Do note that grade profiles vary from year to year and meeting a previous year’s grades does NOT guarantee admission for future years. Please read the full details of the grade profiles carefully before using the information as your guide.

To support and encourage you to pursue your passions and interest, NUS offers the First Choice Bonus Points Scheme, where you will get bonus points added to your admission score for your first choice non-interview single degree programme* when NUS evaluates your application for admissions. For example, if you have A-levels qualifications and you apply for Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautical Engineering Specialisation) as your first choice, your admissions score would be increased by 1.25 points.

* Excludes double-degree programmes, second majors, minors, E-Scholars and Engineering & Medicine Track
