Understanding JC Cut-Off Points

The Cut-Off Point (COP) is the maximum L1R5 score accepted for admission into a JC programme via JAE. A lower COP means the JC is more competitive. Students with L1R5 scores equal to or below the COP are eligible for that programme.

📊 L1R5 Calculation

L1R5 = 1 Language + 5 Relevant Subjects. Your best grades from O-Levels are used. Lower aggregate = better score. Most JCs require L1R5 of 20 or below.

🎯 Bonus Points

Bonus points are deducted from your Gross L1R5 to improve your admission score. You can receive up to 2 points for CCA, and 2 points for Higher Mother Tongue or Affiliation (Max deduction: 4 points).

⚠️ Important: Millennia Institute (L1R4)

Millennia Institute is a 3-year programme using L1R4 (1 Language + 4 Relevant Subjects) instead of L1R5. Their COP values are not directly comparable to other JCs.

How to Use This Data

🎯

Set Realistic Targets

Use COP as a benchmark. Your L1R5 must be equal to or lower than the COP to qualify. Aim for a buffer of 1-2 points for safety.

📈

Analyze Trends

Look at 8-year historical trends to identify JCs with rising or stable cut-off points. Green arrows indicate improving (lower) COPs.

💡

Consider Fit

Beyond COP, consider location, culture, and programmes. Science stream typically has lower COPs than Arts. IB programmes offer an alternative pathway.
