Read the NUS profile before comparing courses

The January 2026 edition describes offers and places taken up in AY2025/2026, including aptitude-based admissions. It guides AY2026/2027 applications; it is not a forecast, a minimum GPA or your probability of admission. Meeting a past profile does not guarantee a place. Subject prerequisites and any interview, test or portfolio still apply.

Use your polytechnic GPA, not the NUS undergraduate 5-point GPA, to read the Poly GPA columns. The 10th and 90th percentiles describe past offer holders. A # means too small a sample for a representative GPA, not zero or an undisclosed cut-off. Places are the previous intake, not vacancies currently available.

For 2025 A-Level results and admission from AY2026/2027, NUS says the H1 content subject is not counted in UAS by default; use the 3 H2 grades as a competitiveness guide. The historical table still shows 3H2/1H1 with GP and PW assumed C. Double degrees are excluded.

Check the official NUS IGP and programme notes for the full conditions. To check the GPA you are comparing, use the polytechnic cumulative GPA calculator.

Check your cumulative GPA with the poly GPA calculator, and remember that the 10th percentile is not a minimum: some students are admitted below it, and many courses also weigh interviews, portfolios or aptitude.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NUS IGP?
The Indicative Grade Profile shows the grades of students offered a place in each NUS course: the A-Level grades (3 H2 and 1 H1 subjects) and the polytechnic GPA of the 10th and 90th percentile. This edition covers offers made in AY2025/2026, published in January 2026 for the AY2026/2027 admissions exercise.

What polytechnic GPA do I need for NUS?
It depends on the course. The 10th percentile GPA, which 90% of polytechnic students offered a place reached, ran from 3.18 (Nursing) to 3.93 (Pharmaceutical Science). 4 courses admitted too few polytechnic students to publish a figure.

What does AAA/A mean in the IGP?
The three letters before the slash are the grades of the three H2 subjects and the letter after it is the H1 subject. General Paper and Project Work are taken as C. AAA/A at the 10th percentile means 90% of those offered a place had straight As.

Does meeting the IGP guarantee a place?
No. The profile describes last year's offers, and courses can change from year to year with the number and results of applicants. Courses marked "interview or test" also assess you outside your grades.

How does the new UAS affect the IGP?
From AY2026/2027, applicants with 2025 A-Level results no longer have the H1 content subject counted in the University Admission Score by default. The universities suggest looking at the 3 H2 grades in the profile as a guide.
