The DSA-JC exercise is an initiative by the Ministry of Education that allows for a more diverse range of talents to be recognised in student admission.
This exercise is for all students sitting for their O-Level Examinations in 2023 who:
- are currently studying in mainstream Singapore schools;
- have outstanding talent in Academics, Sports, Performing Arts or Leadership and Character.
Applicants can only apply for one talent area, and cannot switch talent areas.
Successful DSA-JC students cannot participate in JAE (Joint Admissions Exercise) or transfer to another school after the release of the O-Level results.
