Q: What does this 2024 Singapore Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) Junior College (JC) cut-off points guide cover?
A: Use MOE's official course lists and SchoolFinder references to understand 2024 net aggregate score bands for Singapore’s Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) across every Junior College (JC) (and Millennia Institute (MI)), and build a realistic shortlist.

TL;DR
MOE's official “Courses Offered in 2025 JAE” document lists the L1R5 net aggregate range for Previous (2024) JAE (or L1R4 for Millennia Institute). Use the table below as a directional guide, but remember MOE treats past-year bands as reference only—actual posting depends on demand and the cohort's results (MOE JAE guide; SchoolFinder).

Short of time? Pull the full IP/JC context plus study strategies from our IP programme explainer hub—it links to subject-deep dives, tuition resources, and past admission trend reports.
