Disclaimer: The IGP includes offers made under the Aptitude-based Admissions (ABA) framework. Grade "C" is assumed for GP and PW in determining the grade profiles. Certain programmes may require grades higher than "C" for GP.
First Choice Bonus Points (NUS ONLY): NUS offers bonus points (+2.5 RP) for your first-choice programme, so you may be eligible for courses slightly above your RP if you place it as your first choice. This bonus does not apply to Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Industrial Design, Nursing, and Philosophy, Politics & Economics.
Increased Competitiveness: With the transition from the 90 RP to the 70 RP system, university admissions are likely to become more competitive. The removal of the 4th H2/H1 and PW from the base calculation means students are assessed on fewer subjects. Consequently, the margin for error is smaller, and a higher % of students may achieve the maximum 70 RP, potentially driving up cut-off points for courses.
