Year 5 Direct School Admission

The Direct School Admission for Junior Colleges (DSA-JC) allows students to seek admission to a Junior College (JC), based on a diverse range of specific academic and non-academic achievements and talents that they can demonstrate beyond the GCE O-Level examination.

The DSA-JC exercise to Raffles Institution (RI) for AY2025 is open to Sec 4E/5NA O-Level graduating students who are studying in mainstream secondary schools, and who have outstanding talent in either Academics, Sports, Performing Arts, or Leadership and Character.

The selection criteria and process for the talent areas will be updated from early May.
For more information on DSA-JC, please refer to the MOE website at https://www.moe.gov.sg/dsa-jc

• Applicants to RI should apply for ONLY ONE talent area, and are not allowed to switch talent areas after submission of their application.
• Students who have been successfully allocated a school via DSA-JC are not allowed to participate in the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE). They will also not be allowed to transfer to another school after the release of the GCE O-Level examination results. They are expected to honour their commitment to the DSA-JC schools and to participate in activities related to the talent selected in, for the duration of the programme admitted to. Students who do not fulfil their DSA commitment without valid reason may be required to transfer out to another school.
