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.
