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

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 / YIJC before submitting choices or appeals.

The core idea is simple: YIJC should be shortlisted with a score buffer, not just a hope.

Use it as a working check: Check net L1R5, JC Science, JC Arts, cut-off range, subject combinations, open house, post-JAE appeal, MOE dates, and university subject needs.

Then go one layer deeper: The key decision is whether YIJC is safe, target, or reach for your net score, and whether its subject combinations support your later course plans.

1 | Cut-off points help you shortlist - you still need a buffer

Use the cut-off number to anchor your shortlist, but keep a mix of safer and target choices. That’s especially helpful if your net score is near a boundary.

2 | Shortlist YIJC with our tool (and share it)

  1. Choose Track (JC Science vs JC Arts) and type your net score:
