Existing Gao 3 students with good passes in Gao 1 and Gao 2 results may apply.

Important Changes (Academic Year 2027 Onwards)

  • Mandatory Submission: All applicants must submit their actual Gaokao results within 3 days of their release to be considered for admission interviews.
  • Admission interviews will be conducted in July (applicable to those sitting for 2027 Gaokao)


Aptitude Scholastic Test (AST) (if applicable) 
Submitting AST results is optional for admission but will enhance one’s chance of admission if one has excellent AST results, a minimum of 3 AST subjects (English, Maths and another subject). Taking Economics as 3rd subject only will mean one is eligible for non-Engineering, non-Science programmes only. Submitting AST results without Gaokao or Gao 1 and Gao 2 transcripts is not accepted.
