SINGAPORE – Students who recently completed secondary school will find out which post-secondary institution they have been posted to when the results of the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) are released on Thursday. Some have written in to ask about the appeal process in case a student fails to land a place in his preferred polytechnic or junior college (JC).
