FAQs

It does NOT affect your chances of getting into

your second choice. Streaming is based on

merit – the best students get streamed into their

choice of subject combination first.

I am interested in studying

Medicine. Is triple science

compulsory?

• To be eligible for Medicine, candidates must

have done Chemistry at ‘H2’ level and either

Biology or Physics in addition to Chemistry.

The ‘triple science’ combination is no

longer required for Medicine, and

candidates who present the ‘triple science’

have no advantage in the admissions

process.

I am interested in studying an Engineering

Course in the University. Is Physics

compulsory?

Physics is important in all engineering

programs.

I am interested in studying a life

science course in the Polytechnic.

Is Biology compulsory?

Any Science subject will do.
