ITE Early Admission Exercise (EAE)
1. It’s for those who have talents and interests in specific fields of study
– Focus on course-specific skills and interests
– But, also consider non course-specific achievements, e.g. sports, performing arts, leadership
2. You’ll be assessed through different modes
– E.g. interviews, skills tests, showcasing your portfolio, depending on the course you apply for

ITE Early Admission Exercise (EAE)
3. This exercise will take place before your ‘N’ Level exams
– If your application is successful, ITE will give you a conditional offer before you take the ‘N’ Level exams.
4. You will still have to meet the minimum entry requirements (or your offer will be revoked)
– Most Nitec courses have subject-specific minimum entry requirements.
11
ITE Early Admission Exercise (EAE)
5. But you won’t have to compete for the course admission to ITE strictly on the basis of how well you do academically compared to everyone else.
– i.e. You will already have been accepted for the course of your choice so long as you meet the minimum entry requirements for the course.
Please refer to the ITE website www.ite.edu.sg for entry requirements and cut-off points (COP). (COP may vary from year to year)
