* Applicants offering SPM / UEC qualifications must attain a minimum grade A+ to C / 1 to 6 for their Bahasa Inggeris (1119) / English Language.
SPM Grades A+ to C are equivalent to GCE 'O' Level Grades 1 to 6.
Note: IGCSE / GCSE Grades A to C is comparable to GCE 'O' levels Grades 1 to 6 and IGCSE / GCSE Grade D is comparable to GCE 'O' Grade 7.
(For those with new IGCSE / GCSE Grades 9 to 1, Grades 9 to 4 would be comparable to GCE 'O' levels Grades 1 to 6 and IGCSE / GCSE Grade 3 is comparable to GCE 'O' Grade 7).
At the end of the first semester, students will opt for one of the following Diploma courses:
- Aeronautical Engineering
- Aerospace Electronics
- Computer Engineering
- Electrical & Electronic Engineering
- Engineering with Business
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mechatronics & Robotics
For Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering and Diploma in Aerospace Electronics, it should be noted that applicants particularly those who wish to pursue a career as a Licensed Aircraft Engineer (LAE) who have severe colour vision deficiency, uncontrolled
epilepsy and hearing deficiency may encounter difficulties meeting the course requirements and expectations. Those with mild deficiencies in these areas are advised to contact SP for consultation.
For Diploma in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, it should be noted that applicants, particularly those who wish to pursue a career in electrical power engineering or as a Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW), with colour vision deficiency may
encounter difficulties meeting the course requirements and expectations, as this condition is required by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore. Those with mild colour deficiency are required to undergo an in-house test and are highly
encouraged to contact SP for more information.
JAE ELR2B2
The JAE ELR2B2 indicates the net aggregate score of the lowest and highest ranked students
who were admitted to these courses in the JAE. These aggregate scores are meant as a reference for applicants applying to these courses, and do not constitute the admission scores for subsequent admissions exercises.
