Q: What does this Nanyang Junior College (NYJC) guide cover?
A: The key official pages to check before you shortlist NYJC for Singapore’s Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE), plus a simple way to use cut-off point ranges to build a realistic Junior College (JC) shortlist.

The core idea is simple: Shortlist NYJC using your net L1R5 and a balanced JAE risk mix.

Use it as a working check: Check cut-off bands, Science or Arts track, official JAE page, subject combinations, open house, and posting-day instructions.

Then go one layer deeper: Build Safe, Target, and Reach choices so one competitive year does not break the whole list.

Start here (fast links)

The shortlist tool currently shows 2025 JAE data. Check back after MOE publishes 2026 posting results for updated scores.

Key dates (quick reference)

Status: Official links checked 2025-12-16. Always verify dates and requirements on MOE / NYJC before submitting choices or appeals.

1 | Use cut-off bands to build a Safe/Target/Reach mix

If you only pick “targets”, a single tough year can leave you with no realistic buffer. Instead:

  • keep at least 1–2 choices that are clearly safer for your net score
  • include targets that match your preference
