Joint Admission Exercise (JAE)

Admission by GCE O ‘Level’ Result

Admission into the SJI IBDP is primarily via the JAE which is conducted by the Ministry of Education (MOE). It is based on the student’s GCE O ‘Level’ L1R5 Aggregate Score. In accordance with the guidelines provided by MOE, SJI’s Secondary 4 OP students will not receive bonus points for being an affiliated School. Bonus points for CCA and Higher Mother Tongue are applicable for admission.

Students who are currently in the Integrated Programme (IP) are expected to complete and benefit from the customised 6-year IP programme of your current school. Should you require advice and guidance on this matter, please refer to the school authorities in your current school.

Returning Singaporeans

Returning Singaporeans who would like to gain admission into SJI are to approach the Ministry of Education to register for the SPERS-JC/MI. The advantage of registering for the MOE SPERS-JC/MI is that the results could be used to gain admission into the best available Junior College in order of merit that has a vacancy without the need for further testing by the school.
