sorry for being a noob here....I am planning about what schools might be suitable for my gals 3 years later and NJC came to mind (sorry purely due to location)....


Can parents share why would you choose NJC over other schools around the same COP around the vicinity?

It's not independent so need not pay hefty school fee

other than that leh?

Is the school particularly strong in M and S or humanities or any programmes?
Reason why I am asking is b/c my gals are weak in CL so I have to choose the non SAP schools around the vicinity with no affiliation.

They are rather strong in science/engineering research.

Agree. Mine likes the nurturing environment, and the AEP programme (loving it!)

Hello, does anybody know how people with weird combinations are put into classes? for example, are there a lot of people who take B/PCM but not take economics? Are people who take B/PCM but not econs in the same class?

Hello! I can only answer you based on the IP classes, as I'm not too sure how the JAE students are sorted.

For the current batch of IP SH2s, there are three PCME classes, two BCME classes, one arts class (ie taking two or more arts subjects), and the last two are the ones with hybrid combinations (PCML, BCMELL, PCMA etc). I'm hazarding a guess that this is similar for the JAE students, but their class ratio should be twice of the IP. Hope this helps!
