Hey everyone,

We are NTU students, and we just launched the MVP for our platform, Askcher.

Right now, the site is a streamlined launchpad where tutors can sign up and parents/students can instantly request a match. But our long-term goal isn't just to be another standard matching middleman.

> The future vision is to build a complete educational ecosystem on one platform, using AI automation to handle the backend matching logic instantly and seamlessly based on specific student needs, learning styles and tutor tracking.

> Since we just went live with the MVP to test the market and build our initial user base, we really need feedback on the user experience.

> If you're looking for tutoring gigs or need a tutor, check the comments.

> Let me know if you run into any layout bugs or issues so we can patch them! Open to any advice or criticisms too. Thanks

Also, can I still graduate? Should be yes cos it no longer counts towards GPA?

for context I didn't do well for As but was fortunate enough to have gotten into ntu SOH. I genuinely feel like I've completely destroyed my future esp with all my friends getting into good courses like biz. I hope to still get a job in the finance sector by taking a second major in econs in my second year. The professors like to say humanities allow us to stand out in the financial field because we pick up qualitative skills but is it really true that I'll be able to stand out and actually have a fighting chance against econs/biz/acc students with a humans plus econs degree

Hi, for anyone who has been through NTU EEE or is going to, comment and share your experience or what you think it’s going to be like haha. Anything from hall life to workload, internships, job prospects, pay, student life and all that. Curious to hear honest opinions/advice 🙏

need my sem 2 results. Does anyone know when NTU gives out results??

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to visit NTU CCDS to get a feel of the environment where most CS students attend their lectures, tutorials, and labs.

Does anyone have recommendations on which buildings or areas I should visit to get the best overall impression of the CS student experience?

Would really appreciate any advice — feel free to leave a comment below. Thanks!

hihi, received my offer ystd. would like to know if theres any coding essentials i shld learn or are frequently used during the whole course? also where can i check the ntu biz curriculum as the ntu biz website doesnt show it but only the modules that we will be learning?

Hello i have been offered ntu bcg and nus biz but im in a dilemma on which should i take pls advice me.

I plan to work in probably finance in the future but i feel that having a technical degree such as computer science will help to boost my portfolio in a way in such a competitive job market. Having computing also kind of complement business and would help me to open more doors where i can work in either tech or finance industry. however i seen some ppl saying it is not worth to take bcg as nus can be seen as better and just to focus on 1 degree instead. hence pls advice me on which decision is better

hi! im matriculating into ntu next sem and was wondering what double room hall life is like? am applying with a friend of mine and we get along well but we are not the closest so im a bit concerned

1. for those who have applied for double rooms with people they don't know, how was that experience like? do you like your roommates? how much do they affect your hall life?

2. what questions/conversations about boundaries do you think we need to have before deciding whether rooming tgt would be a good idea?

thank you!

Hihi, I'd like to ask what Halls are usually reccomended for freshies when first starting out? I'll be joining NTU this year(and... I'd like to participate in Chinese Orchestra(CO), Bowling if that helps)

I know Hall 1 and 2 are relatively cheaper overall, and is there any TL;DR on Hall life/culture?

Oh and... I'd like to know how the Chinese Orchestra and Bowling CCAs are like? How do you guys train and what's it like being a member?

Oh and one more thing for my runners!! Besides the standard running track, I know there's a blue track as well as the perimeter of the campus, right? Any other routes I can take for runs?

think i did quite badly for my finals and idk if i can pass, with the new fgo system will it affect anything? i'll still have to retake the mod even if i fgo it right?

Im going to ntu for one semester and i was wondering which room i should apply for. I have been living in a single room for the past 3 years i went to uni but now im considering a double room for a more ntu uni experience (or smt like that). But i do like my privacy so i would love to hear experiences of people there in double or single rooms :)

Hi all,

I am an international research student (24F) matriculating into NTU from August 2026 for a PhD.

I received an offer on 15th and created a network account on 18th, and now I get the news that I can only file for Student Housing applications 72 hours after the network account is created. So, this means that I’m going to miss the first application window (Deadline - 20th May), and will have to shoot my shot in the second window opening from 22nd May.

My question was whether priority is still given to international research students who have not domiciled in Singapore before in this second window too?

Also, thoughts on choosing between Graduate Halls 1 or 2 would be appreciated.

Feel free to DM me. I’d love to connect with current students :)

So basically, I had 5 CCA points but got waitlisted for hall for the next academic year. As an international student, is there a higher chance of getting hall through an appeal? There have been cases where international students on the waitlist were eventually allocated accommodation after appealing, right?

the website doesnt not specify any specific dates when it runs, want to check if it will still be running for the holidays

Yall know that "mandatory" consent workshop we're all supposed to get in first year? Well my course never got it, yet everyone I know on every other course I know did get it? Is this normal or have we genuinely been forgotten?

I don't wanna go, it sounds like bs to me anyway tbh, but I'm applying to be on the freshers team next year, and they gave me an interview next week but I'm worried I won't be let on because of this. What should I do?

Hi everyone, I’m feeling pretty lost about this situation and would really appreciate any advice or help from people who may have dealt with something similar before.

Last week, before one of my final exams started, I raised my hand to clarify a question I had with answer formatting and the answer packet. An invigilator came over and gave me instructions, which I followed in good faith during the exam. Nothing we discussed related to exam content.

After the exam, I realized the instructions I received were incorrect and will likely severely affect how my answers are graded. I contacted the course instructors hoping to clarify the situation and ask whether this could be taken into account.

What shocked me was the response I received from Associate Professor Eng Leong Tan. Instead of addressing my issue, he stated that me asking a question to the invigilator “may be regarded as cheating,” said students “should not expect to get satisfactory answers” from exam staff, completely dismissing my concerns and implying that he may escalate the matter into an unsubstantiated academic integrity investigation.

What's concerning is that this directly contradicts NTU’s Instructions to Candidates for Paper Based Exams, where invigilators are explicitly responsible for addressing candidate queries before the exam begins and candidates are required to obey their instructions.

I genuinely do not understand how following instructions given by an official exam invigilator, in response to a question unrelated to exam content, could reasonably be interpreted as potential cheating. Also, importantly, instead of addressing the fact that I received incorrect instructions which may affect my grade, Eng Leong Tan dismissed my concerns entirely.

At this point, I’m worried not only about whether my paper will be graded fairly, but also whether there will be any proper or impartial resolution process regarding the incorrect instructions I was given during the exam. I am also concerned on how I will dispute an unfounded allegation of academic dishonesty.

Has anyone dealt with something similar before, or knows what resources are available in situations like this?

Hi guys, does anyone know how compassionate leave works during a credit-bearing internship?

My grandparent just passed away overseas and my family needs me to fly over for the funeral/family arrangements. Because of the flight dates, I might miss about a week of internship.

I already told my supervisor and they were thankfully very understanding, but I’m still quite worried because this is a credit-bearing internship. I’m not sure if I need to inform NTU/CAO separately or apply through the internship portal

Does anyone know if missing around a week for bereavement will affect clearing the internship, assuming the company is okay with me making up the missed sessions or extending the internship?

Would really appreciate any advice from anyone who has dealt with this before.

What do y'all feel honestly 🤔
