Understanding SMU IGP Data

The Indicative Grade Profile (IGP) provides a snapshot of the 10th percentile grade profile of students admitted to SMU 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., Law) may require students to achieve scores higher than 85 points, up to the full 90 points with better GP/PW grades.

RP70 Calculation (New 2026 System)

RP70 = 3 H2 subjects + Best H1 subject (max 70 points)

Grade points: A=20(H2)/10(H1), B=17.5/8.75, C=15/7.5, D=12.5/6.25, E=10/5

Important Notes:

IGP represents the 10th percentile score of admitted students (not minimum requirement)
"—" indicates insufficient data or course not offered that year
GPA is for polytechnic diploma holders (4.0 scale)
Data source: SMU Official IGP

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

Strong co-curricular activities and personal statements matter. SMU emphasizes well-rounded applicants beyond just academic scores.
