Post-Secondary Pathways Under Full SBB - An Overview
Post-Secondary Pathways Under Full SBB - An Overview
Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB) is part of MOE's ongoing efforts to nurture the joy of learning and develop multiple pathways to cater to the different strengths and interests of students.
With Full SBB, students learn each subject at the level that best caters to their overall strengths, interests and learning needs.
There will no longer be separate Express, N(A), and N(T) streams, and students will be in mixed form classes where they can interact with peers of different strengths and interests.

Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP)
PFP admissions will be restructured to a cluster-based approach

Sciences
Design, Engineering & Technology
Humanities, Art, Media and Business
At the end of the PFP year, students will then apply to a specific diploma course, and posting will be based on their PFP performance and course choice:
Students offering G3 subjects, or a mix of G2 and G3 subjects will be allowed to access PFP.
Requirement of ELMAB3 raw aggregate score of ≤ 12 points (based on G2). G3 grades will be mapped downwards for admission to PFP.
Polytechnic (Year 1 Entry)
From 2028, one ‘Best’ [B] subject can be fulfilled at G2 or G3 as part of the aggregate score for admission to Poly Year 1 (see below).
Eligibility criteria (ELR2B2) net aggregate cut-off adjusted from 26 points to 22 points.
Students who offer both [B] subjects at G3 will have the [B] subject with a lower grade mapped from G3 to G2 based on a grade mapping table.
JC/MI: A-Levels
JC/MI: A-Levels
Revised JC admission criteria from L1R5 ≤ 20 to L1R4 ≤ 16. NEW! computed at G3 only.
MI admission criteria retained at L1R4 ≤ 20.
