Regarding XJTLU’s intake for singaporean students
Hi, I’m a Singapore polytechnic graduate currently about to serve National Service (NS), and I’m interested in applying to XJTLU for a business-related course in the future.
I emailed the admissions team and they mentioned that Singapore polytechnic applications are considered on a case-by-case basis. My GPA is around 2.6+, so I understand I’m probably more of a borderline applicant.
My main concern is regarding NS timing. Since Singaporean males have to serve around 2 years of mandatory NS, I was wondering if anyone here has experience applying to XJTLU while still serving NS, especially for a later intake (e.g. applying earlier for 2028 intake while still in service).
Did the university allow early applications / deferred admission due to NS obligations? Or did you have to wait until closer to ORD before applying?
Would also appreciate hearing from any Singapore poly students who managed to get into XJTLU with similar backgrounds. Thanks!
