Rank Point Calculator
Calculate your UAS under the new 70-point system. See which NUS, NTU, and SMU courses you qualify for. Browse full IGP cut-off data for 77 courses.
Data: AY2025/2026 IGP via NUS, NTU, SMU official publications · IGP data last verified 18 July 2026
Disclaimer: IGP data is from AY2025/2026 admissions via official university publications.
IGP changes yearly and does not guarantee admission.
AY2026/2027 data will be updated when released (expected Jan 2027).
This calculator computes the 70-point University Admission Score, the method used for students who sat the GCE A-Level examination in 2025 or 2026.
If you sat A-Levels in 2024 or earlier and are applying for AY2026 or AY2027 admission, your UAS is instead computed on the previous 90-point scale (including Project Work and your H1 subject in full) and rebased proportionately to 70. This calculator's formula doesn't cover that computation. From AY2028 admissions, every applicant is assessed on the 70-point scale shown here regardless of sitting year, and Project Work no longer contributes points at all.
AAA/A notation (3H2/1H1): the three letters before the slash are the grades of the 3 H2 subjects; the letter after the slash is the applicant's best H1 subject (a 4th content subject or Mother Tongue Language), not General Paper. NUS, NTU and SMU all state this explicitly in their own methodology notes, and all three also say that General Paper and Project Work are both assumed to be Grade C for the purpose of this published profile; real GP grades of admitted students aren't disclosed.
10th %ile: the profile at the 10th percentile of admitted students: 90% of last year's intake scored at or above this. 90th %ile: the profile near the top of the intake. Poly GPA: the equivalent 10th/90th-percentile GPA for polytechnic applicants (# = sample too small for a representative figure). The Interview tag means the course also requires an interview, portfolio, or selection test, per each university's own asterisked list.
Small line under each course name: the A-Level subject prerequisite, summarised from each university's own published list (sources and dates in the methodology note below). A qualifying score does not help if the subject requirement is not met, so check both.
Because GP is assumed at Grade C in the official disclosure rather than shown as a real grade, we can't derive an exact 70-point figure from the published profile. The RP-estimate column is Higher Nucleus's own approximation: (sum of the 3 H2 grades) + 7.5, where 7.5 stands in for an assumed GP Grade C. This means the highest possible RP-estimate is 67.5, not 70. That's expected, not an error, and reflects the fact that the published data simply doesn't capture real GP performance.
The most reliable comparison is your own 3 H2 total (out of 60, shown by the calculator above) against the 3H2 portion of each course's published profile. This is exactly what NUS, NTU and SMU themselves now advise 2026-UAS applicants to do. Treat the RP-estimate as a rough secondary indicator, not a precise cutoff.

9 courses name no A-Level subject beyond each university's general requirements, and 3 NTU double-major rows vary by subject pairing.
Every grade profile on this page (the 3H2/1H1 columns) is transcribed verbatim from the official AY2025/2026 publications of the NUS Office of Admissions, NTU Office of Admissions and SMU Admissions. All three universities disclose this profile as 3 H2 subjects + 1 H1 subject, with GP and Project Work both assumed at Grade C. The RP-estimate column is Higher Nucleus's own approximation (3H2 total + 7.5), clearly distinct from the official figures, and is capped at 67.5 by construction; see the caveat above the NUS table for full explanation. Spotted an error? WhatsApp us at +65 9787 3734 and we'll verify and correct it.
Subject prerequisites (the small line under each course name) are Higher Nucleus's own summaries of each university's published list, not verbatim copies: NUS's Programme Prerequisites for A-Level applicants (stated as accurate as of December 2025), NTU's Minimum Subject Requirements for A-Level students (stated as correct as at February 2026, AY2026-27 intake) and SMU's A-Level admissions requirements page. Where a university names no subject for a course, the table says so rather than inferring one. All three checked 23 September 2026.
Graduate outcomes come from the Ministry of Education's Graduate Employment Survey 2025 publications for NUS, NTU and SMU. A course is matched to a GES line only where the degree clearly corresponds; the match for each course is shown in the outcomes table.
Changelog:
60 of 77 courses matched · Source: Ministry of Education, Graduate Employment Survey 2025 web publications for NUS, NTU and SMU (graduates surveyed November 2025)
Secured employment: the share of graduates in the labour force who were working, had accepted a job offer or were starting a business about six months after their final exams. Median gross monthly salary: for graduates in full-time permanent jobs, before CPF deductions and excluding bonuses. Where a course maps to more than one GES line, the range spans them. RP-estimate is repeated from the tables above so you can set entry bar against outcome.
GES reports by degree, and degrees do not always line up with admission courses. A course is matched only where MOE publishes a line that clearly corresponds to it. Not matched: NUS Law (Not in GES 2025: Law graduates are now surveyed two years after graduation); NUS Business Artificial Intelligence Systems (New programme; no graduates surveyed yet); NUS Data Science and Economics (No separate line in GES 2025); NUS Food Science and Technology (No separate line in GES 2025); NUS Pharmaceutical Science (Reported inside the Bachelor of Science (Hons) line; not separable); NUS Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (No separate line in GES 2025); NTU Renaissance Engineering (No separate line in GES 2025); NTU Process Engineering and Synthetic Chemistry (New programme; no graduates surveyed yet); NTU Robotics (New programme; no graduates surveyed yet); NTU AI and Society (New programme; no graduates surveyed yet); NTU Chinese Medicine (Reported inside the Biomedical Sciences line; not separable); NTU Applied Computing in Finance (No separate line in GES 2025); NTU Economics and Data Science (Reported inside a combined double-major line; not separable); NTU Philosophy, Politics & Econs (No separate line in GES 2025); SMU Law (Not in GES 2025: Law graduates are now surveyed two years after graduation); SMU Software Engineering (No separate line in GES 2025); SMU Integrative Studies (No separate line in GES 2025).

GES figures are a snapshot of one graduating cohort in one labour market. They describe outcomes about six months after graduation, not lifetime earnings, and they move from year to year.
From 2026, Singapore universities use a new 70-point University Admission Score (UAS), replacing the previous 90-point system. This reform was announced by Education Minister Chan Chun Sing in March 2023 to reduce curriculum load and encourage students to focus on quality over quantity.
Your base UAS is your 3 best H2 subjects plus General Paper. If you took a 4th content subject or Mother Tongue Language, each is tested separately against your base score: the extra subject is added, the total is rebased to a maximum of 70, and the result is kept only if it is higher than your base. Your final UAS is the highest of the applicable computations. (This formula is unaffected by the IGP notation discussed further down the page; your calculator result above is your real, exact UAS.)
| Scenario | Formula | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Base score (everyone) | UAS = H2₁ + H2₂ + H2₃ + GP | 60 + 10 = 70 |
| 2. With 4th H2 subject | UAS = (Base + 4th H2) ÷ 90 × 70 | Rebased to 70 |
| 3. With 4th H1 subject | UAS = (Base + 4th H1) ÷ 80 × 70 | Rebased to 70 |
| 4. With MTL (H1 MTL or O-Level HMTL) | UAS = (Base + MTL) ÷ 80 × 70 | Rebased to 70 |
| Grade | A | B | C | D | E | S | U |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H2 | 20 | 17.5 | 15 | 12.5 | 10 | 5 | 0 |
| H1 | 10 | 8.75 | 7.5 | 6.25 | 5 | 2.5 | 0 |
The maximum is 70 points: three H2 A grades (20 each = 60) plus an A in General Paper (10) = 70. Optional subjects can never push the total above 70 because any computation that includes them is rebased to a 70-point ceiling.
Counted from the RP-estimate column in the tables above, across all 77 courses. The estimate caps at 67.5, so a score of 67.5 or more clears every course by this measure; check the subject prerequisites and interview tags as well.
| RP-estimate | NUS | NTU | SMU | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 67.5 | 15 | 4 | 1 | NUS Law, NUS Medicine, NUS Dentistry |
| 65 | 0 | 8 | 1 | NTU Computer Science, NTU Data Science & AI, NTU Double Major Programmes |
| 60 to 62.5 | 2 | 9 | 6 | NUS Engineering, NUS Humanities and Sciences, NTU Aerospace Engineering |
| 55 to 57.5 | 1 | 20 | 2 | NUS Industrial Design, NTU Bioengineering, NTU Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering |
| 50 to 52.5 | 3 | 5 | 0 | NUS Nursing, NUS Architecture, NUS Landscape Architecture |
No course in these tables has an RP-estimate below 50. SUTD, SIT and SUSS assess applicants holistically and do not publish a comparable percentile profile, so if your score is below 50, check their admissions pages directly.
Because the UAS counts your three best H2 subjects at up to 20 points each and General Paper at up to 10, one grade step in an H2 subject is worth 2.5 points, twice the 1.25 points of the same step in GP. Using the conversion table above, lifting one H2 subject from C to B adds 2.5 points, and from C to A adds 5. Each 2.5-point step is exactly one step in the RP-estimate column of the tables. If your score sits just under a course you want, the fastest route is usually one H2 subject rather than a general push across everything, and the subject prerequisites in the tables tell you which one matters for your shortlist.
Based on the official AY2025/2026 IGP, the lowest 10th-percentile 3H2 profile at NUS is Nursing at CCD (RP-estimate: 50), followed by Architecture and Landscape Architecture, both at CCC (RP-estimate: 52.5). All three require an interview or selection process, and "easiest by IGP" doesn't mean easy; it reflects last year's admitted cohort, not a guaranteed entry bar.
Based on the official AY2025/2026 IGP, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are tied for the lowest 10th-percentile 3H2 profile at NTU, both at CCD (RP-estimate: 50). Both have sizeable intakes (119 and 422 places respectively), which typically keeps their profiles more accessible.
NUS's Common Computer Science Programmes require a 10th-percentile profile of AAA/A (RP-estimate: 67.5, the highest band) with 893 intake places, based on AY2025/2026 IGP. By comparison, NTU Computer Science sits at AAB/C (RP-estimate: 65, 487 places) and SMU Computer Science at AAB/B (RP-estimate: 65, 135 places). NTU and SMU are essentially tied, with NUS the most competitive of the three by this measure.
Because the IGP reflects last year's admitted cohort, it shifts every year with demand and cohort performance. Some courses also require interviews, portfolios, or aptitude tests on top of grades; these are tagged in the tables above. Aim comfortably above the 10th-percentile profile rather than treating it as a minimum entry score.
NUS adds up to 2.5 bonus points to your admission score for your first-choice programme, but only if that programme is a non-interview single-degree course. Courses with interviews or selection tests, such as Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Architecture, Industrial Design and Nursing, are excluded and have their own rules on how high you must rank them. If your score sits just below a non-interview NUS course's profile, making it your first choice can close part of the gap. Source: NUS First Choice Bonus Points Scheme FAQ.
How it works now differs by university. NUS assesses every applicant holistically: all applicants list up to four achievements, co-curricular or non-academic activities and answer short-response questions, and shortlisted applicants may be asked for more, a test or an interview (NUS Office of Admissions). NTU states that its published grade profiles include offers made under ABA (NTU IGP notes), so the tables above already reflect some aptitude-based offers. SMU describes its whole admissions process as holistic and aptitude-based (SMU Admissions). Source for the scheme change: MOE, 30 January 2020.
In practice: a score just below a course's 10th-percentile profile is not automatically the end of the road, and the achievements section of the application is worth real effort. Subject prerequisites still apply.
The universities' joint FAQ on the revised computation sets out the rules for applicants who sat the A-Level in 2024 or earlier: for AY2026 and AY2027 admission, H2 KI can be used in place of both GP and the H1 content subject, with the score computed on the 90-point scale and rebased to 70. From AY2028, the H2 KI grade is treated as the GP grade, and it cannot also be counted as one of the three H2 content subjects (NUS FAQ on the revised UAS computation). Where a course's prerequisite names "GP (or KI)", a KI grade meets it. This calculator does not model KI; if you took it after 2024, confirm the treatment with each university.
All three assess every applicant through aptitude-based admission (MOE). Each publishes admissions information, but not as the 10th-to-90th percentile grade profile that NUS, NTU and SMU use, so they cannot sit in the tables or the calculator above:
Your GCE A-Level certificate doesn't expire. If you're applying some years after you first sat the exam, whether after a gap year, a retake, or as a private candidate, what changes isn't the certificate itself but which UAS computation applies to your results, based on the year you sat (see above). Private candidates follow the same UAS rules as school candidates and aren't required to have taken Project Work.
No. Neither NUS's nor NTU's own admission requirements state any age limit on your Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level certificate. Both universities split their requirements purely by which year you sat the exam: 2025-and-after uses the 70-point formula, 2024-and-earlier uses the rebased 90-point formula, never by how many years have passed since. Whether you're applying 3 years or 15 years after leaving JC, your certificate is equally valid; only the applicable formula depends on your sitting year, exactly as explained above.
What does change every cycle is the benchmark you're measured against: your UAS is always compared to that admission year's Indicative Grade Profile, not the one from when you sat your exams. A score that comfortably cleared a course a decade ago may not clear it today, since the IGP shifts with each year's applicant pool, so it's worth checking the current tables above rather than relying on what a course "used to need."
One narrow, specific exception worth knowing: for NUS Law-related programmes only, applicants who scored at least an E (but not the required B) in GP or KI may submit a Reading & Writing SAT score of 700+ as an alternative way to meet that specific requirement. NUS states this SAT score is valid for five years leading up to the application deadline. This provision is specific to Law admissions and doesn't apply to the general UAS computation or to any other faculty.
If you're weighing a retake or preparing as a private candidate, our private candidates page covers how we support that path. And if you or your child are considering the IB Diploma instead, you can consider KS Academia Prep's IBDP subject consultation, where they walk through how IB subject and Higher Level choices map to the same NUS, NTU and SMU prerequisites.
Two dates decide how much time you actually have. Our 2026 A-Level exam calendar lists every paper date with a running countdown, and the 2026 class schedules show which subjects run on which days at each branch, so you can see what fits around a retake before you commit to anything.
Your University Admission Score (UAS) is your three best H2 grades plus your General Paper grade, out of a maximum of 70 (three H2 subjects at 20 each, plus GP at 10). Project Work is pass/fail and adds no points. A 4th content subject and Mother Tongue Language are counted only if they raise your score, with the total rebased to 70. The formula table above has worked examples.
70 points: an A in each of three H2 subjects (20 each, 60 in total) plus an A in General Paper (10). Optional subjects can never take the total above 70, because any computation that includes them is rebased to a 70-point ceiling.
RP90, the old scale, added three H2 subjects, one H1 subject, GP and Project Work for a maximum of 90. RP70, used from 2026, adds your three best H2 subjects and GP for a maximum of 70. A 4th subject and Mother Tongue Language count only if they help, and Project Work is pass/fail. The two scales are not directly convertible.
No. From 2026, Project Work is graded pass or fail and does not add to your UAS. A Pass in Project Work is still required for admission to the autonomous universities, except for private candidates and students exempted from Project Work.
NUS, NTU and SMU all publish their Indicative Grade Profile as three H2 subjects plus one H1 subject, meaning the applicant's best H1 (such as a 4th content subject or Mother Tongue Language), not General Paper. GP and Project Work are both assumed to be Grade C for this disclosure. Each university states this in its own methodology notes.
NUS Medicine's published 10th-percentile profile is AAA/A, the highest band in NUS's table (RP-estimate: 67.5). Shortlisted applicants also complete NUS's own admissions assessments, a Focused Skills Assessment (FSA) and a Situational Judgement Test (SJT), plus an interview. The BMAT is no longer used. NTU's Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine requires the UCAT instead.
Both NUS Medicine and NTU Medicine require H2 Chemistry plus either H2 Biology or H2 Physics, according to each university's published subject prerequisites. NUS also requires Medicine to be ranked as your first or second choice, and NTU requires the UCAT. The same Chemistry requirement applies to NUS Dentistry, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science.
Based on the official AY2025/2026 IGP, NUS Nursing has the lowest 10th-percentile profile at NUS (CCD/C), followed by Architecture and Landscape Architecture, both CCC in the 3H2 portion. All three involve an interview or selection process, and the IGP reflects last year's admitted cohort, not a guaranteed entry bar.
Based on the official AY2025/2026 IGP, NTU Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are tied for the lowest 10th-percentile 3H2 profile at NTU, both at CCD (RP-estimate: 50).
NTU Computer Science's official 10th-percentile profile is AAB/C (3H2/1H1), with 487 places taken up in AY2025/2026. By comparison, NUS's Common Computer Science Programmes sit at AAA/A with 893 places, and SMU Computer Science at AAB/B with 135 places.
SMU Law's official 10th-percentile profile is AAA/A (3H2/1H1), the highest band at SMU. SMU Law also requires a GP (or KI) grade of A or B, and shortlisted applicants sit a writing test before an interview.
NUS adds up to 2.5 bonus points to an A-Level applicant's admission score for their first-choice programme, but only for non-interview single-degree programmes. It does not apply to courses with interviews or selection tests, such as Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Architecture, Industrial Design and Nursing, which have their own rules on how high you must rank them.
No. The IGP's commonly quoted figure is the 10th percentile, so 90% of last year's admitted students scored at or above it. It shifts every year, and some courses also weigh interviews, portfolios or tests. Aim comfortably above it.
Aptitude-based admission lets NUS, NTU and SMU weigh interests, talents and achievements alongside grades. Since AY2020 it has replaced the old Discretionary Admissions scheme, which allowed up to 15% of annual intake to be admitted on factors beyond grades. NUS now assesses every applicant holistically, asking each to list up to four achievements and answer short-response questions. NTU notes that its published grade profiles include offers made under ABA.
Among the courses on this page, the highest median gross monthly salaries in the Graduate Employment Survey 2025 were for Medicine at NUS and NTU ($6,500 each, surveyed a year after graduation), followed by NUS Common Computer Science Programmes ($6,400), NUS Information Security ($6,000), SMU Computer Science ($6,000). The figures are for graduates in full-time permanent jobs about six months after their final exams.
For AY2026/2027, NUS accepted Singapore-Cambridge A-Level applications from 26 February to 19 March 2026. Most applicants received their outcome by the third week of May, and first-window offers had to be accepted through the Joint Acceptance Portal by 25 May 2026. Dates change each cycle, so check each university's admissions page for the current one.
No. Neither NUS nor NTU states an age limit on your A-Level certificate. Both split requirements only by the year you sat the exam (2025 and after, or 2024 and earlier), not by how long ago that was. Your UAS is always compared against the current admission year's IGP, though, so a score that used to clear a course may not clear it now. One narrow exception: NUS Law-related programmes let applicants with at least an E in GP or KI submit an SAT Reading and Writing score of 700 or more instead, valid for five years. This applies to Law admissions only.
No. H3 subjects are graded separately (Distinction, Merit, Pass, Ungraded) and don't add points to your UAS, on either the 70-point or the previous 90-point scale. Some sources describe H3 as adding bonus points; that isn't correct under the official computation. Universities may still weigh your H3 grade qualitatively alongside your UAS.
The calculator's formula matches the official MOE computation exactly. The published grade profiles are transcribed verbatim from NUS, NTU and SMU's official publications and were re-verified on 18 July 2026 (see the data methodology above). Because the universities assume Grade C for GP when disclosing these profiles, converting them into a 70-point equivalent requires an estimate, labelled as such in the RP-estimate column. Meeting a course's IGP doesn't guarantee admission, and some courses weigh interviews, portfolios or aptitude tests alongside your score.
