As far as possible, those who apply by 8 March 2027, 3pm Singapore Time, and are shortlisted, will take the writing test on 13 March, though this is not guaranteed (especially in the case of applications based on non-Singapore educational qualifications, which typically take longer to process).

We will aim to let applicants know their assigned dates and times as soon as possible. It will not be possible to reschedule the interview except in exceptional circumstances. Online interviews (Zoom) will be conducted for applicants who are shortlisted for Accountancy, Business Management, Computer Science, Computing & Law, Economics, Information Systems, Law, and Social Science programmes. | |||||
