Results of the 2016 Singapore-Cambridge GCE N-level examinations will be released next Monday, the Ministry of Education said yesterday.

Students may collect their result slips from their schools from 2pm that day. Private candidates will be notified of their results by post. They can also obtain their results online using their SingPass account at www.seab.gov.sg.

Those who wish to apply for Institute of Technical Education (ITE) courses can do so online at www.ite.edu.sg/wps/portal/intake, or obtain application forms from the customer service centres at the three ITE colleges in Ang Mo Kio, Simei and Choa Chu Kang.

Those eligible for the Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) and/or the Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme (DPP) will receive invitations to apply.

The PFP is a one-year programme that offers a practice-oriented curriculum taught by polytechnic lecturers, to better prepare polytechnic-bound students for entry into relevant diploma courses. It is an alternative to the Secondary 5 year as GCE N-level graduates under the PFP do not sit the O levels.

The DPP is another option for students who have performed well in the N levels.
