Indicative Grade Profiles and Programme Places
AY2026/2027 Admissions Exercise: Information for Applicants with Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level or Polytechnic Diploma Qualifications
The University provides the following notification of grade profiles and programme places to enable prospective applicants to make informed choices in their application for admission to NUS undergraduate programmes.
Important Notes
Applicants seeking admission in AY2026/2027 can expect competition to be keener for programmes with more stringent grade requirements and fewer places. In using the tables below, please note the following:
- The grade profiles, GPAs and programme places may vary from year to year, depending on the number and performance of applicants and number of places available
- Meeting the previous year's grade/GPA scores of a programme does not guarantee admission to that programme for AY2026/2027.
- With effect from AY2020/2021, the grade profiles also take into account offers that were made under Aptitude Based Admissions (ABA).
- The programmes marked with an asterisk (*) are those where additional assessments such as interviews, selection tests, and portfolios are required.
- Certain programmes may have specific subject requirements. Details can be found on the NUS Admissions website.
For more information on the disclosure of grade profiles, please refer to our FAQ section below.

Table 1: Representative Grade Profiles of the 10th and 90th percentiles of Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level Applicants offered places for programmes at NUS in Academic Year 2025/20261
- The grade profiles refer to grades scored by Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level applicants in their three H2 and one H1 subjects. For the purpose of this notification, Grade C is assumed for both General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW) in determining the grade profiles. Certain programmes may require grades higher than Grade C for GP.
- The table provides an indication of the grade profiles for the majority of applicants admitted in AY2025/2026. There could be other equivalent profiles for each programme. For example, a grade profile of ABC/C could be considered to be broadly equivalent to BBB/C, unless there are other pre-requisites.
- For admission from AY2026/2027, refer to the FAQ regarding the revision to the University Admission Score (UAS) computation for more information.
