Eligibility for PFP
To be eligible to apply for the PFP, N(A) students must obtain:
ELMAB3 (English, Mathematics, Best 3 Subjects) raw aggregate score of 12 points or better (excluding CCA bonus points) at the GCE '‘N'’ Level examination; and
the following subject-specific requirements:
* Refer to https://pfp.polytechnic.edu.sg/PFP/pfp_courses.html for an updated list of courses under Group 1 or 2.
These requirements are in place to ensure that students have the necessary foundations to attend the PFP.

The PFP is also available to Secondary 4 Normal (Academic) students who have sat for GCE ‘O’-Level subjects. These students are allowed to combine their ‘N’- and ‘O’-Level examination results to compute their eligibility. If a student takes the same subject at both ‘N’ and ‘O’ Levels, only the better grade will be computed into his or her aggregate.
The following GCE ‘O’-Level Grade conversion matrix will be adopted during the computation of aggregates:
'O'-Level grades not listed above cannot be used to determine PFP eligibility (i.e. 'O'-Level grades E8 and F9 do not count towards either the ELMAB3 aggregate score computation or in determining if minimum entry requirements for the PFP course have been met).
