SINGAPORE - Recent secondary school graduates will find out on Feb 2 which school they have been posted to, when the results of the Joint Admissions Exercise are released.

The results of the posting exercise, in which O-level graduates are sorted into the various post-secondary institutes such as junior colleges, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), will be released from 9am, said the Ministry of Education on Thursday.

Students can get their results through SMS or the Joint Admissions Exercise website at www.moe.gov.sg/jae, it said.

On Jan 12, 23,684 students received their O-level results. Of these, 23,625 – or 99.8 per cent – got one or more passes.

Students posted to a junior college or Millennia Institute (MI) must report to their respective institutions on the morning of Friday, Feb 3, the statement added.

Applicants should look at their new schools’ websites for more information such as reporting details and purchase of uniforms, it said.

“Posted applicants who are unable to report to their posted junior college or MI on the first day of school with valid reasons should contact their posted school to confirm they will take up the place. The posted school will then reserve the place for them,” the ministry added.

Those posted to polytechnics or the ITE will receive an e-mail or package via mail on enrolment details by the end of February, it said.

Students who want to appeal for a transfer to another junior college should contact the school directly, while those who wish to transfer between polytechnics or the ITE should use the online appeal portal at https://jaeappeal.edu.sg/.

Those who were not posted to any course are also encouraged to submit an appeal through the same portal, the statement said.

It added that applicants can submit an appeal on the portal between 9am on Feb 2 and 4pm on Feb 7. The appeal results will be released on the same portal on Feb 20.
