Junior College (Direct School Admission)
Direct School Admission into 2-year JC Programme for Academic Year 2026 – DSA-JC Exercise 2025
The Direct School Admission-JC (DSA-JC) is an annual exercise for students seeking admission directly to a Junior College. We invite all interested 2025 O-Level graduands to apply to National Junior College.
Students who are successful are guaranteed a place, provided that they meet the eligibility criteria for admission to a JC based on their GCE O-Level results. Students admitted under DSA-JC are expected to honour their commitment to the JC. They will not be allowed to take part in the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) in 2026. They will also not be allowed to transfer to another JC after the release of the GCE O-Level results. They are expected to honour their commitment to the JC and to participate in activities related to the talent selected in, for the duration of the programme admitted to. Students who do not fulfil their DSA commitment without valid reason may be required to transfer out to another school.
