The Joint Polytechnic Admissions Exercise (JPAE) is organized by the five Polytechnics: Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP), Republic Polytechnic (RP), Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and Temasek Polytechnic (TP). It was introduced in 1992. In this exercise, applicants are to indicate in the application form their preference for the courses for which they wish to be considered. Applicants are required to submit only ONE application, which will be considered jointly by the Polytechnics concerned.

The following categories of applicants may apply through the JPAE:

1. Holders of relevant Higher NITEC or ITC/CBS and NITEC/NTC-2 (taken in Singapore) who have sat for 'O' / 'N' level;
2. Final semester graduating full-time ITE students;

Note:

Those who have NITEC or Higher NITEC International qualifications (attained overseas), attended courses at or graduated from a University or graduated from a Polytechnic are NOT eligible to apply under the JPAE. If they do so, their applications will be invalidated. 

Ex-and current Polytechnic students are advised to apply through the individual Polytechnics’ Direct Admissions Exercises (DAE) instead of applying through the JPAE-ITE.

* JPAE posting results are dependant on the date of release of the final results in early April.  As the academic term for AY2012/2013 will begin on 16 April 2012 (for NYP, NP, RP & SP) and 23 April 2012 (for TP), the polytechnics will try to expedite the enrolment of these successful ITE students.
