There is no impact on students who earn Advanced Placement Credits with grade through pre-taken NUS courses, such as students enrolled in the Engineering Scholars Programme or students participating in the special scheme with top polytechnic students. These students would continue to earn the APGs up to the 40 Units allowable for polytechnic holders.
Indicative Grade Profile
NUS provides notification of grade profiles to help you make informed choices in your application for admission to NUS undergraduate courses. 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.
Selection tests or interviews are not required as part of the application process except for applicants under consideration for scholarships or aptitude-based (discretionary) admission.
