Entry into Polytechnic
               Through the Early Admission Exercise (EAE)
The Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) is an aptitude-based admissions exercise that allows
students to apply and receive conditional offers for admission to the polytechnics based
on their aptitudes and interests, prior to receiving their final grades. It gives the
polytechnics greater flexibility to select and admit students on criteria other than their
academic grades, thus allowing a wider range of talents to be recognised.

The polytechnics will consider students’
1) abilities, strengths and interests in the specific courses that they have applied for
2) other outstanding talents and achievements, such as in sports, arts, leadership,
entrepreneurship and community service

*Each polytechnic has the discretion to determine its modes of assessment of students’
aptitude and interest, e.g. interviews, portfolios.
Early Admissions Exercise (EAE)
Eligibility Criteria:

ITE Early Admissions Exercise (ITE EAE)
• ITE EAE is an aptitude-based admissions exercise that allows your
  child to apply and receive a conditional offer for admission to ITE
  courses based on your child’s aptitude and interest before taking the
  national exams.
• Student’s relevant work experience and his/her achievements in
  sports, arts, leadership, entrepreneurship and community service will
  be considered in the application.
It’s for those who have aptitudes and
1   interests in specific fields of study
    • Focus on course-specific aptitudes and interests
    • But, non-course-specific achievements, e.g.
      sports, performing arts, leadership, are also
      considered

      2     You’ll be assessed through different
            modes
            • E.g. interviews, aptitude tests, showcasing your
              portfolio, depending on the course you apply for

                 All this will take place before your N / O
           3     Level exams
                   • If your application is successful, ITE will
                     give you a conditional offer before you
                                                                   56
                     take the N- or O-Level exams
You’ll still have to meet the minimum
4   entry requirements
    • Most Nitec or Higher Nitec courses have subject-specific
      minimum entry requirements
                               (…or your offer will be revoked)

               But you won’t have to compete for
         5     admission to ITE strictly on the basis of
               how well you do academically compared
               to everyone else

Some factors for consideration
All Higher Nitec courses have prerequisites, e.g. selected Nitec or relevant ‘O’
Level subjects for direct entry. Please find out more if you wish to pursue specific
Higher Nitec courses.
Note:
1. Do find out as much information about their possible options to make informed decisions.
2. Some Nitec courses allow students to choose from a broader array of Higher Nitec courses
   as opposed to others. For example, there is only 1 Higher Nitec course related to
   Hospitality as opposed to 13 Higher Nitec courses related to Engineering.
3. There are always progression options for different industries, via Higher Nitec or WSQ
   courses.
4. Always find the best-suited courses for themselves based on their interests, strengths and
   work values.
