polytechnic students apply to join NUS & NTU |
|
A record
number of polytechnic students have applied to join NUS
& NTU this year. NUs and NTU have received 11,000 and
12,000 applications respectively, up from about 6,000 for
each university in previous years. This follows the
scrapping of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) as well
as easing of rules to allow students to apply before they
graduate from the polytechnic. |
