Indicative Grade Profile (IGP)

Notification of Grade Profiles and Programme Places for Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level and Local Polytechnic Diploma Applicants for the Academic Year 2025/2026 NUS Undergraduate Admissions Exercise

The University provides the following notification of grade profiles and programme places to enable prospective applicants to make informed choices in their application for admission to NUS undergraduate programmes.

• Representative grade profiles¹ of the 10th and 90th percentiles of applicants offered places in Academic Year (AY) 2024/2025 for applicants holding Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level qualifications are shown in Table 1. The grade profiles refer to grades scored by Singapore-Cambridge A-Level applicants in their three H2 and one H1 subjects. For the purpose of this notification, Grade C is assumed for both General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW) in determining the grade profiles. Certain programmes may require grades higher than Grade C for GP. Please refer to Table 1 for the Grade Profiles of the 10th and 90th percentiles of ‘A’ Level applicants offered places for programmes at NUS in AY2024/2025.
• Representative Polytechnic Grade Point Averages (GPA) of the 10th and 90th percentiles of local polytechnic applicants offered places at NUS in AY2024/2025 are shown in Table 2. Please refer to Table 2 for the Polytechnic GPAs of the 10th and 90th percentiles of polytechnic applicants offered places for programmes at NUS in AY2024/2025.
• The number of programme places taken up in NUS for AY2024/2025 is shown in Table 3. It is important to note that the number of places changes from year to year.

Applicants seeking admission in AY2025/2026 can expect competition to be keener for programmes with more stringent grade requirements and fewer places. In using the tables below, please note the following:

• The grade profiles, GPAs and programme places may vary from year to year, depending on the number and performance of applicants and number of places available.
• Meeting the previous year’s grade/GPA scores of a programme does not guarantee admission to that programme for AY2025/2026.
• With effect from AY2020/2021, the grade profiles also take into account offers that were made under Aptitude Based Admissions (ABA).
• The programmes marked with an asterisk (*) are those where additional assessments such as interviews, selection tests, and portfolios are required.
• Certain programmes may have specific subject requirements. Details can be found at NUS Admissions website
