EAE SELECTION/INTERVIEW IN VIEW OF THE COVID-19 SITUATION

To ensure the safety and well-being of applicants and staff amidst the COVID-19 situation, ITE will conduct EAE selections largely via electronic means such as online interviews, or portfolio submissions over e-mail, for most courses. ITE EAE selections will take place between 23 June – 24 July 2020.

On-campus selection will still need to proceed for some courses, where the selection process cannot be meaningfully replicated in a remote manner. Examples include ITE's Nitec in Nursing and Higher Nitec in Performance Production. In all instances where applicants need to come onto campus, ITE will ensure that appropriate safe management measures are put in place. This includes staggering assessment slots and designating waiting areas to avoid inter-mingling of applicants.

The total number of applicants expected to come to campus for EAE selection is expected to be low. Institutions will continue to monitor the national situation and will facilitate on-campus selection for more courses, if the situation allows.

Institutions will ensure that selection remains fair and rigorous. A list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the conduct of EAE selection can be found in the Annex.
