2. 12,405 candidates sat for the 2019 GCE A-Level examination. 11,583 (93.4%) of these candidates have attained at least 3 H2 passes, with a pass in General Paper (GP) or Knowledge and Inquiry (KI). The performance of candidates in this cohort is comparable to the performance of the 2018 cohort.

Digital Certificates and Applications to Autonomous Universities

3. Starting this year, all A-Level candidates who are Singapore Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents will receive digital certificates in OpenCerts format. These certificates will be available via the MySkillsFuture Skills Passport at https://www.myskillsfuture.sg/content/portal/en/individual/skills-passport.html from Monday, 24 February 2020. Candidates with SingPass can access and submit their digital certificates electronically to the universities they are applying to. School candidates who are international students and unable to access the portal may email SEAB at seab_gce_admin@seab.gov.sg to ask for a copy of their digital certificates.

4. Applications for admissions and/or scholarships to the Autonomous Universities (AUs) can be done online. All school candidates who apply to the AUs online do not need to submit a copy of their A-Level certificates. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the AUs will make alternative arrangements for any assessment for admissions, if applicants cannot be physically present.

Applications to Polytechnics

5. Eligible A-Level graduates who are looking to further their studies at the polytechnics can benefit from module exemptions in 120 courses. This will reduce the time taken for them to obtain a polytechnic diploma by up to one year. Interested students can apply to the polytechnics via their websites directly in mid-August 2020, for matriculation in October 2020. Application details will be made available on the respective polytechnics’ websites by March 2020.
