Affiliated Junior Colleges in Singapore
5 JCs are officially linked to certain secondary schools. If you come from a linked school and put that JC first, you get 2 points knocked offyour L1R5 score at JC admission (JAE) — up to 4 points in total. It's a small discount on your score, and it works differently from the primary-to-secondary head start[1].
How the JC bonus works
A small score discount at JC admission — not the same as the Secondary 1 head start.
+2bonus points for affiliation — only if the affiliated JC is placed as your 1st choice(or 1st & 2nd choices) on JAE.
Max 4bonus points in total — the affiliation bonus combines with CCA / Higher Mother Tongue bonus points, capped at 4.
Bonus points are deducted from the L1R5 gross aggregate to give the net L1R5 used for JAE posting. Lower net score = better.
From 2028, JC/MI admission moves from L1R5 to L1R4 — the mechanism above is the current, pre-2028 system.
