First Choice Bonus Points Scheme

First Choice Bonus Points Scheme for Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level, Polytechnic, NUS High School and International Baccalaureate Graduates

NUS will award bonus points for the first choice of programme of applicants with Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level, Polytechnic, NUS High School and International Baccalureate qualifications, for admission in Academic Year 2024/2025. This policy is aimed at supporting and encouraging students to pursue their passions and interest, and will apply to all programmes except those which require interviews or additional selection, i.e.:

1. Medicine, Dentistry and Law – For these 3 programmes, applicants are required to rank them as the first or second choice and meet programme prerequisites to be considered for shortlisting for test and interview (the only exception will be for applicants who place Law as their third choice with Medicine and Dentistry as their first two choices).


2. Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Industrial Design, and Nursing – For these programmes, applicants are required to rank them as the first 3 choices and meet programme prerequisites to be considered for shortlisting.


3. Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) Programme – Applicants are required to submit their application essay to PPE Direct Entry Portal by the stipulated deadline.
