@maddy09 No change in status so far. How did your interview with NTU go? How many people attended the interview?
@PB1997 Good Luck . How many people attended the interview? do you know what happens to the bond when we opt to do masters at NUS?
@breakthrough Yes, additional 3 yrs.
@Aakash1104 approximately 15 students were interviewed in my shift. U can do masters as a part-time course at NUS while you serve your bond. Since you will be balancing study with work, you will have to take fewer courses at a time and so a degree that should be complete in 2 yrs will normally finish in 3 yrs time. The bond stays the way it is. It doesn’t change. You have to serve it until it expires (3 yrs or 6 yrs).
@PB1997 thanks for that detailed input.
Happy to share that my interview went off fine. I have been offered the fully loaded scholarship along with the tution grant but with a six year bond !!
@Aakash1104 There were 7 people in my batch for the interview.
@PB1997 Did you confirm that we cannot work in a Singapore-registered company in India ?
@PB1997 Did you get an offer from NTU as well ?
@maddy09 Congrats on bagging the full scholarship dude!!! 
I didn’t strictly confirm whether we can work in Singapore registered company in India or not. They didn’t bring this up but every time they talked about getting a job, they talked about getting the job IN SINGAPORE only. I am not sure whether you may work in India as well.
And I didn’t get an offer from NTU. 
@maddy09 Are you gonna accept the scholarship and go for the 6-year bond? If you think in the long term, staying 10 yrs bonded in Singapore is a bit too much. Are you comfortable with the bond? It might limit opportunities for PG and other personal priorities of life, you know. So what have you decided?
@PB1997 I agree that 10 years is along commitment. However, as of now I am going in for the six year bond. You can exit from it anytime…and there is always an option of working in Singapore for 2 years and paying off the bond!
What have you thought about it? cos sooner or later u will have the same dilemma!
@maddy09 Yup now I am in the same dilemma as I have bagged it as well!
I discussed this issue a long time with my parents, regarding the length of the bond and all. Their opinion was fixed on me going for it and they gave me some really solid reasons for it:
- It keeps me and my family financially strong in the long term. There won't be any trouble of going for a loan as the scholarship sees to everything. So I won't lose any money repaying a loan in future.
- Working in Singapore and even settling there is a WAY better option than India, according to my parents and their experience here. Much more developed, much more adventurous, much more SAFE.
- If you got any personal priorities such as marriage (don't smirk at the word, let's be frank :P ), you can always take care of such things even while the bond is on. You can take a few months' leave and come back home just to take care of your personal priorities and then go back to Singapore to complete the bond.
- I can always pursue PG at NUS while I am working. PG classes start there at 6, work gets over by 5. It will be a hectic schedule to both work and study in order to complete post-grad but nothing comes easy.
These reasons just made me more confident about the scholarship to be very honest. So yeah, I am going for it.
@maddy09 Did you also upload your actual results (not the one downloaded from the CBSE site) ?
@breakthrough …Yes I did upload my original marksheet as well. Did your application status change?
@PB1997 thanks for your detailed input…let’s connect
What are my chances of getting into nus after giving edexcel alevels?
Hi guys, I am going to be applying to NUS and NTU next year, could one of you please tell me how we upload our SAT subject test scores? and what if we have given multiple attempts for a subject? Do we submit scores from all attempts? Help pleeeeassseeee
Hi @yahooo100 Just upload your best SAT subject score report. For NUS you have to upload all documents together whereas for NTU you have to upload individually.
Go their respective admission sites and read instructions.
All the best…Go for it!
Hi @maddy09
Thanks for your encouraging words!
You’re attending NTU,if I understand correctly?
@yahooo100 …yes, I am at NTU
Have you applied to NTU/NUS ?
I got into NTU yesterday and have not yet heard back from NUS. I was ready to go to Tulane until this came…anyone have any information about NTU?
Hey. I am indian cbse student and applies to only NUS (NOT NTU OR SMU) for both informatics and busines administration as single majors. I got 95.6% overall in my board exam and 96.25 as best 4.today My application status changed from application processing to your application has been processed.
If anyone has any idea pls tell

@PB1997 @maddy09 @breakthrough
hi guys.
i am an aspiring engineering/computing student. i am presently in 12th class (CBSE). i will be applying to NUS/NTU the coming year. i am decent at my studies and have had a ok track record.
i’d be really grateful if you guys could tell me more about the actual board cutoff etc required for these univs.
i do hope that you give solid data rather than using abstract terms like ‘very tough’ etc.
ps - if you guys have made it to any of these univs. namely - NUS NTU HKUST UHK.
pls pls pls send me your current profile. i’d be extremely in debt of you.
regards
yash.
