r/SIT_Singapore

Im an incoming UoG MechE student, and id be lying if I said i wasnt at least slightly anxious about tge next 3 years.

The academic calander doesnt look like it gives a whole lot of breathing room between trimesters, and ive heard that the Glasgow degrees in particular are quite insane in terms of workload. This coupled with a 3hr daily commute (1.5hrs each way) kinda concerns me.

So im hoping to hear any experiences from other MechE students/alumni about their experiences. Like whats the workload like, the schedule, the people, the OIP, etc. The life there in general yknow.

hi i'm genuinely so confused and the module registration guide is so unhelpful...

so i'm adding classes into my shopping cart now and i've added ALL available class combinations from each module into my shopping cart. i've ranked them in class priority but whenever i wanna save my ranking it says "Invalid Priority Selection"... anyone going through the same issue? I made sure not to accidentally place two class combinations from the same module of the same priority.

edit: it's been fixed, apparently you can't put them in order in the shopping cart, only under "enrolment: add classes"

hey guys I will be maticulating into the SIT ICT IS programme next month end of August, any tips and tricks from either seniors or current students studying this programme have for a incoming newbie. any advise would be great! thanks in advance again!

Hello, heres some background information to my situation right now:

I applied to SIT as usual, submitted my application and everything. Got an interview but was rejected.

I tried shooting my shot again by appealing in June, but got rejected days after...

So i eventually decided to take a gap year to look for jobs.

However, low & behold, SIT throws me a curve ball & sends me SMS & email yesterday telling me to look at my appeal outcome, which said that my appeal got accepted??

Anyways, I am curious on how my appeal manage to get accepted and how would my matriculation work if the deadline was back in June?

Additionally, does this mean that I wouldnt be able to sign up for FYE's Helix, as the registration is already over?

Thank you!

so i was setting up my student bank account for sit, and i went to in4sit to apply for a new debit bank account (following the SIT payment instructions).

After filling up and submitting the bank details, there's no "proceed to ibanking" to apply for GIRO and approve the request. (which on the SIT site, tells us to do). Only got "cancel debit bank acc" and "print GIRO application form" ???

so do we just wait for some bank account details approval or something before theres a button to proceed to ibanking, or will the bank notify us and we apply from there? pls help

Incoming IMGD freshman here, blur question but when and where is the day zero t shirt collection 🫥 website said just pls collect in advance

also looking for cca/club recommendations/reviews if anyone would like to share :)

hello, incoming freshie from CDM 😝 pretty excited to start school until i started reading more about the trimester schedule from past reddit posts and just hearing from other seniors about how stressful it is. having personal time is very important to me, would you say the schedule is still manageable if you plan your time well? do you have classes every single day? do you have time to work part time after school? does the new campus make much of a difference to your school life in general?

i was previously from poly which was undoubtedly very chill schedule-wise and had a 1 week break literally every 3 weeks + 2-month sem breaks. while it was fun and i could properly take a break i did sometimes feel the breaks were unnecessary and i would’ve rather ended school earlier than go on long breaks but maybe i’ll regret saying this once uni starts lol. would appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

i went to check in my outlook email today and to my horror i completely missed the proficiency check quest thing which was supposed to be done by 18 july. what do i do now? will i still be accepted into the programme?

Hi! Incoming freshman here.

As of right now, I don’t know much still. May I ask what modules I’ll be taking in trimester 1? And also, if anyone is kind enough to, provide me some notes/ past year of questions for them? (Especially engineering math 😵‍💫)

Lastly, would like to ask how the timetabling is like? Do you go to school everyday? What are the hours?

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Incoming UoG CS student here 😭 I got assigned the Math & Physics Quest. The math one was honestly quite okay, I could do most of it by referring back to my o lvl notes (yes I still have them 💀).

But bro the physics quest is actually insane. I took pure phy for o's and so many of the terms weren’t even in my notes. I ended up asking chatgpt for quite a few questions because I genuinely had no idea what they were talking about, and some of the formulas they used weren’t even things I learnt before.

Now I’m lowkey stressing because how relevant are these quests actually? 😭 Like are we expected to know all this before school starts? Will this stuff actually come up in modules or tests later on, or are the quests just there to refresh your knowledge and get you thinking?

I mean I get why the math quest is there since math is obviously important for CS, but the physics one has me so confused 😭 Like what am I even gonna be doing with physics in a CS course HAHA. I’ve literally been spending the past few days trying to relearn everything because I’m scared I’ll be behind everyone else if I don’t know all this. The physics quest just feels like a whole different level 💀.

Can any seniors let me know if I’m just overthinking this or if these quests are actually that important?

anyone participating in the programming quest??

lowk kinda scared i'm gonna be lost trying to find the place :/ also do we need student card to access the venue cuz we're only getting it during club fair day right?

Hi, I'm a student who is about to enroll to RTIS in SiT, and I still owed 44 days of service in the army.

I intend to resume my service after 4 years as based on academic calendar online, there seem are no breaks that offer more than 44 days. Correct me if my inference is wrong.

My superior is aware of my intention, and suggested if possible, do resume service within the 4 years if can as to not miss out on jobs etc. after graduation and suggested maybe I can consult other students on this.

Hence, may I inquire if anyone who had this experience before can suggest what can I do? Cause I don't wanna miss out on lessons given is RTIS, but at the same time want to end my NS days I owed asap.

As per title but I am a incoming accounting student, some of the quests I received are the following:

Proficiency check for matrices

Proficiency check for Statistics

Proficiency check for Vectors

Proficiency check for Trigonometry/Geometry

1. I mean sure if they want me to do Balance sheet, financial statement, trial balance, P/L accounts or assets, liabilities and equities stuff sure but are these topics actually relevant to us business/accounting students?

2. Also any penalty for not doing these ?

Hi all, i’m a lost soul right now.

i have no idea how i got accepted into pharm eng. Previously did Pharm sci diploma, working experience in a private pharmacy company.

My real concern is that my math and physic isn’t that great and have 0 A math knowledge as i did not take in secondary school, is it even ideal to stay in this course or should i pivot to private uni?

Any advice is appreciated !

so i'm an incoming SWE student and i have some questions about the new mod registration for y1t2 onwards. i always thought SIT would just give us our timetables every tri but ig its changed now??

1. what is the system like? are we already given the mods we need and we're just registering for which time slot we want?
2. will there be situations where you can't get the mods you need?
3. any other things to note during mod registration?

Hi everyone, can I just check if there are running tracks in SIT? Or if there isn’t, is there any place suitable to run in SIT? Just want to do some light running occasionally when school starts hahah 😅. Thanks for your help in advance!

hi guys, just wondering if its possible to request a soft copy of the front and back of my matriculation card before official card collection? as im trying to apply for a student credit card but it requires front and back of your student matriculation card and i dont wanna wait 1month+ if i don't have to hahah, anyone got any experience with this? thanks!!

I submitted my matriculation on 30 June (last day). On 28th I did medical, and they asked me to come back a week later for urine test (as I was on my period). That's what I did la

I did not receive any email of confirmation after that. Literally 0. Should I be worried? Did y'all receive any emails??

Hello and good morning SITizens,

I would like to remind everyone here to exercise caution when responding to invitations for meetups, networking sessions, mentorship programmes, workshops, or other events posted on this subreddit.

This is an unofficial subreddit for SIT. While many community events are genuine and well-intentioned, there are also occasions where events may:

• Have vague descriptions or unclear organisers
• Omit important information such as the host, venue, or purpose
• Require sign-ups through external forms with little context
• Advertise themselves as general student networking or mentorship events
• Be targeted at students from multiple universities rather than SIT specifically

Before attending any event, we encourage everyone to:

1. Verify who is organising it (check if it is by an SIT club)
2. Check whether the organisation has an official website or social media presence
3. Ask questions if important details are missing
4. Be cautious about sharing personal information through external forms
5. If meeting strangers, choose public venues and let someone know where you're going

If a post appears suspicious, lacks transparency, or seems misleading, please do not hesitate to report it to us. The mod team will review them as quickly as possible.

Our goal is not to discourage students from attending such events. We want to ensure that members can make informed decisions and that r/SIT_Singapore remains a safe and trustworthy resource for all students.

Thank you to everyone.

Hey so I messed up big. I haven’t downloaded the medical examination form and I have my appointment booked for tommorow. 😭😔

I have been struggling with trying to relogin to in4sit / matriculation portal but I think they closed the portal after 30th June and I haven’t been able to download my form… (ik I should’ve downloaded it immediately back in June 😭😭 I just didn’t expect the matriculation portal to close in June)

I was wondering if anybody could send me their examination form to use as a template, and id just photoshop/ edit stuff like name and NRIC 😔😭😭

Either that or any direction on who to contact would be fantastic… I’ve emailed the matriculation email several times over the past week but no reply 🥲

Edit: I am in accountancy
