Understanding NUS IGP Data

The Indicative Grade Profile (IGP) provides a snapshot of the 10th percentile grade profile of students admitted to NUS courses in the previous academic year. This means 90% of admitted students scored higher than the IGP, while 10% scored at or below it.

📊A-Level Applicants

IGP shows the 10th percentile University Admission Score (Rank Points). For example, AAA/A (85) means 90% of admitted students scored above 85 RP.

🎓Polytechnic Applicants

GPA column shows the 10th percentile GPA on a 4.0 scale. For example, 3.80 GPA means 90% of admitted poly students had GPA above 3.80.

⚠️Important: 90 Rank Point IGP Data

The Rank Point data shown in this IGP assumes GP (General Paper) and PW (Project Work) are graded as C. This means the maximum score reflected is 85 points for most courses. However, some highly competitive courses (e.g., Medicine, Law, Dentistry) may require students to achieve scores higher than 85 points, up to the full 90 points with better GP/PW grades.

Note on RP70 Calculation: The RP70 score (new 70-point scale from 2026) is calculated as: 3 H2 subjects + best H1 (GP or content subject). We assume the displayed H1 grade represents the best H1 that contributes to the score, as only the best H1 counts toward RP70.

Important Notes:

IGP represents the 10th percentile score of admitted students (not minimum requirement)
Courses marked with * require interviews/portfolios
"—" indicates insufficient data or course not offered that year
GPA is for polytechnic diploma holders (4.0 scale)
Data source: NUS Official IGP archived on Wayback Machine

How to Use This Data

🎯

Set Realistic Targets

Use IGP as a benchmark. Aim for scores above the IGP to have a competitive chance, as 90% of admitted students scored higher.

📈

Analyze Trends

Look at 12-year historical trends to identify courses with rising or stable cutoff points. Trend arrows show GPA and intake changes year-over-year.

💡

Consider Holistic Factors

Courses marked with * require interviews, portfolios, or aptitude tests. Strong co-curricular activities and personal statements matter too.
