JC Cut Off Points

Dear students and parents, you can view the details below for Singapore’s JC Cut Off Points in 2026. Please note that there are 2 possible streams available for most of the Junior Colleges.

The arts stream will be suitable for students who have a stronger interest in humanities subjects such as literature, history, languages, and the arts. This stream includes subjects such as literature, history, geography, economics and china studies in english.

In contrast, the science stream is suitable for students who have an interest in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

In order to be eligible for entry into the respective stream of each Junior College, please note that your L1R5 net aggregate score must be the same or lower than that specified in the table below.

You should also notice that the JC Cut Off Points for science stream is more stringent compared to the arts stream for many of the Junior Colleges. As far as I am aware, it is not possible for you to enter the Arts stream of a particular Junior College successfully, then decide to switch to the Science stream when you do not meet the cut off point criteria.

JC Cut Off Points for 2026 was released shortly after the day of O level result release:
14 January 2026.

For students entering JC/Millennia Institute/ Polytechnic/ITE in the upcoming academic year, you can check out the following MOE link for more application details on the Joint Admission Exercise: here

Before you decide on the Junior College that you would like to enrol in, I would also encourage you to visit the open house of the Junior Colleges that you are interested in. Open houses allow you to find out more about the school culture, CCAs that are available on offer and facilities that you will get to enjoy. Open houses are typically held the day after the release of O level results.

A Level Tuition

If you are looking for A Level Tuition in the subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Economics to help you in the upcoming academic year, do visit my home page for more details here.

It is important to start early as the JC landscape has become increasingly competitive, with a general trend of the JC cut off points decreasing across the board over the years.

You are provided with quality assurance as I am a former MOE JC lecturer with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I specialise in providing both 1 to 1 and small group tuition for students preparing for their A Levels only.
