Graduating secondary school students will receive their posting results for the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) next Thursday.

Applicants will be able to obtain their posting results from 9am, said the Ministry of Education in a statement yesterday.

SMS messages will be sent to the mobile phone number provided by the applicant during registration. The results will also be posted on the JAE website at www.moe.gov.sg /admissions/jae, said MOE.

Those posted to a junior college or the Millennia Institute (MI) need to report to these institutions the next day, Feb 2, at 8.30am. Applicants posted to a polytechnic or an Institute of Technical Education course will receive further instructions via an enrolment package, which the institutions will mail to them.

Students who wish to appeal for a transfer to another JC or to MI should approach the JC of their choice or MI directly, said MOE. The JC will have the discretion to consider the application if it has available vacancies, and if the student meets its course cut-off point for this year's exercise.

For appeals for a place in a polytechnic diploma course or a transfer to another diploma course, applicants can do so via the Polytechnic JAE Appeals website at jaea ppeal.polytechnic.edu.sg, from Feb 1, 9am, to Feb 5, 4pm. Results of the appeal will be available at the same website from Feb 8, 2pm.

Appeals for a place in the ITE can be done at at www.ite.edu.sg/wps/ portal/intake, from Feb 1, 9am, to Feb 7, 11.59pm. Outcomes will be available at www.ite.edu.sg/admis sion/ft/results.html from Feb 26, 9am. Successful applicants are required to accept the offer by March 1, 11.59pm.
