On the topic of parents and not liking the poly course you're in, DO NOT LET YOUR PARENTS CHOOSE YOUR COURSE FOR POLY!
AT BEST, let your parents influence your choice, but DO NOT let them decide. Using their logic, ask youself this: "Who's studying? You, or them?"
Are you affected as what you said on the comment? My condolences to you.
@@brokecsstudent Nope, my friend let his dad chose his diploma and it did not end well with his GPA.
@@TheShinnika Oh. Well, I pass my condolences to him. I understand what it's like to be your friend who cannot decide his future on his own. I'm also not in a good situation like him. I didn't get a course that I like but I choose what my parents have discussed with me about my interest.
omg yall should get 1 student from each school in one poly to talk about stereotypes, experiences and stuff like that! I bet that would be so fun and I would love to be a part of it
😀
oh my god hi sharman
Omg Sharman
Which poly you go to doesn't matter, it all depends on whether you want to work hard.
13:00 "You presented with a Singaporean accent" got me so hard 🤣🤣🤣
really love your polytechnic series! as a secondary school student who was curious and unaware of certain polytechnic cultures, 'stereotypes', and benefits, this video and some others of yours definitely made me more familiar with them! thanks! really love this group of students as well haha!
shout out to the guys! though yall didn't really talk as much yall did a really good job!
They did great!!
Yep, totally agree with some of the comments, the poly you go doesn't really matter AND your O level grades/Poly Grades/Uni Grades has no correlation. Work hard and life will find its way haha. - From a RP Class of 2012, SMU class of 2018... now working in venture capital. Honestly, I can't imagine where I am now when I first stepped into Poly.
What an amazing achievement man! 💚
Good job bro
Omg that RP girl mentioned the right thing.....I absolutely hate my course and it really feels like a 3 year nightmare but at least my gpa isn't as bad as what that Ngee Ann poly student's friend mentioned
noob
same :")
The no sleep for design courses is so trueee
as one of the people who did the open house for sp, there's so many layers and people to go through and esp if it's diff and new from previous years, it's much more difficult. now, they're trying to be more frugal which is harder on our side. And there's a hidden thing where we'll also refer to other poly's open house ig to see how they're doing (np mainly)
Look forward to hear from ITE student Perspective too:)
Keep a look out for it soon! ;)
Ah yes flag day, thankfully I was assigned to someone close to my house. The only thing to look forward to after was the ice cream 😂
What the NP lady said is true, I discovered a little late that the course wasn’t really good for me(especially designing website), I could have just pick it up online instead. The first year for me was a struggle too. It was only until year 3 when I finally had a 3.5 GPA but I was pulled down for my 1st year grade.
What course did you take?
While going to an open house gives an idea of what a poly's course offering is like. Always keep in mind that poly is still a BUSINESS. They are there to sell you their courses. The course description can look damn zai and full of prospects, but once u enter, u'll realize its different. Advise is to speak to current students/Alumni. Get to know people. Ask them how its really like.
If within the 1st sem you decide its not for you, APPEAL to change course. Dont wait. The earlier you change course, the less time u waste. While some have to repeat a Sem, if you appeal early enough, one might not have to repeat/restart a Sem. Just take more modules per Sem (for future semesters). (may not be applicable to all POlys, but find out and act fast. its your life/time you are wasting)
Dont always need 3.9-4.0 to enter uni one. =D
Lastly, dont forget NIE as a "Uni" option.
"RJ by 2359" , 6P, Faci, PBL
Problem based learning does help in integrating and utilizing recourses and knowledge that is relevant and non-relevant to the module to craft a solution that solves the problem.
But one thing to take note is that the local unis do take higher percentage of JC students as compared to poly students👀 They prioritise them over poly students
That is of course very understandable since the point of going to JC is to go to uni
@@-asterelz-6658 that's why must secure at least 3.5 GPA to guarantee a spot in Uni.

OMG I LOVE THE GIRL IN CHINESE STUDIES AND THE WAY SHE VOICE HER OPINIONS
But... I find her annoying 🤣
Can you guys do an episode on arts school such NAFA, LASALLE,SOTA etc? Thank you! :)
JC students, if you're reading this. We're coming for you next. Let us know what you want to find out!
The culture in different jc and student life there? Or is it just about studying?
@@aye_itsfarah9392 probably similar to this vid like talk abt orientation cca culture lor
20:20 "cannot even buy Daiso stuff" IM LITERALLY DED 🤣🤣🤣
thanks bro that’s me
hi! can y'all maybe talk about people who took foundation year after o levels? i feel that it is very difficult to find information about this because not many people took foundation year and i am quite curious to know the advantages & disadvantages of foundation year
foundation year as in poly foundation program (pfp)?
@@yingjiaang1525 nope, foundation year for university. you can study overseas for a foundation year for about 6-18 months before going straight to uni
@@zxphyrv4982 I think those people I kind of hard to find in SG because some of them just migrate overseas after completing education + need lots of money
Curious to hear abt life in poly ccas bt this is rly informative :D
Poly life was one of the best years of my life.
I really love it
You should make the most out of it once you're there.
I regretted that I did not really make an active effort to make as many friends as possible.
Nevertheless, I'm grateful of the amazing experience that I had there
It doesn’t really matter where you study but what you study. Take up a course that makes you employable for the forseeable future ie IT, cybersecurity, coding, robotics, green energy, urban agriculture, nursing, radiography, physiotherapy etc. Certain certifications are also more valueable & marketable than a degree. For eg a certified welder or liscenced electrical technician is highly sought after in the workforce.
Don’t fret over your school or course of study as at the end of the day a foreigner from an unheard of uni like Anamalai Tech is more employable than a local grad from NUS/NTU.
At the same time learn how to earn a passive income. Remember we are all just values to a company & our value depreciates over time. Before you know it, you’re in your 40s & told your position is redundant, at a time where you have a mortgage, bills to pay & mouths to feed. Don’t be dependant on just one source of income. & remember kids, to invest in good medical insurance policies the moment you start earning your first salary.
" I'm from engineering and I couldn't do math” -Ben, 2021.
Can you help me
To admissions Ngee ann polytechnic. I am want to study part -time mechanical engineering diploma
Rj for the past 3 years , ya I remember that , it hasn’t been that long
damn can everyone have equal time to talk? I feel like the girls talk too much like they don't know how to read the room. poor sp guy got interrupted by the chinese studies girl 1:14
The NP girl talk too much sia i cannot
@@kawaiirainbow805 sorry I tend to ramble on sometimes, will take note next time! Thanks for the feedback! 😅😌
Hi! As the raw footage was really long, his comment was actually edited out from post production and not by Vanessa 😅
@@Unfiltered Oh, that's a shame. All I'm saying is since this video is about ALL the polys, it would make sense for each school to have equal representation.
Thank you for the feedback! We’ll take note of that in our future videos!! :)
Miss old poly life 🔥
Idk how this stereotype came about but RP is called ITE/ITE north by many ppl
I'm from NYP but I think all these negative stereotypes and belittling of RP is unsubstantiated and immature.
I have seen RP alumnis that went to local Unis and were hired by reputable MNCs. I have also personally seen ex NYP students who got into poly straight from O level but ended up getting kicked out of poly because he was not serious with his studies and got a really low GPA.
But keep in mind that the RP alumnis that I mentioned earlier are hard working and high achievers.
So, its not really about the poly, its about YOU as an individual. If you work hard, work smart and are goal driven, you can succeed anywhere.
I would like to ask that about the school fees per year and can I apply any tuition grant, because my family isn't rich. And I have a wish to study in Singapore, please answer my question, thanks a lot.
Where are u from?msia? I remember the fee is 14k approximately after tuition grant
@@jiingru8787 Thanks a lot.
@@jiingru8787 Hello, I'm a Myanmar student, I would like to study polytechnic in Singapore, can you please give me some recommendations where can I attend preparation course GCE'O level in Myanmar or in Singapore. Look forward your reply, thanks a lot.
@@sunsunzhang8734 Are u fine with doing a 1 yr regular O level course after which u can apply for all the local polys through DAE ?
if ur here watching this video rn wondering what poly to join like i was last year , i would say joining tp or nyp to have the most fun, my friend there all having the time of their life while i stress lol
Fire class participation please.... its subjective and unfair for stuents who are smart and introverted. Like imagine students cant get good GPA due to inability to please cher. Also there is conflict of interest in class, its toxic to put class participation part of grading. I have been talking about this since year 1!!! Now year 2 already gg to year 3. I want to do sth b4 I graduate! RP principal please see this.
Hmmmmm then those who are not academically smart, their gpa will be bad too because they don’t have class participation to pull them up 🙃 plus class participation is only 10-20%… 80% is literally based on deliverables as well as team assignments… So, maybe class participation isn’t the problem but you not helping yourself to step out of your comfort zone is the problem.. Maybe, if you start to fight for your participation in class, you will see that it is actually pretty useful and who knows, it may boost your ability to be able to speak up and not stay within what you think is comfortable.
@@ver3846 agree with the comfort zone. But the thing is that do you think teachers know 20 students personally well to give a objective grade for that 20%? Also, its about inclusiveness... why not those who likes to talk alot step out of their comfort zone? In addition, can you imagine 20 students talking non stop just to please the cher... it's just plain non inclusive to those who are smart and quiet.
@@wt7028 I don’t think there’s actually a need to know the students personally because even the quietest and smartest person will speak up to answer a question and the lecturer will even ask for their name when they answer a question or give an opinion. Maybe not for you. Other than that, you keep mentioning smart and quiet. I believe that you are smart but… if that’s the case, I would like to assume that your other segments for the rubrics is level 4. Well then, I clearly don’t see a need for class participation to be above level 2 to get better grades and a better gpa. Also, if anyone is getting anything below level 2 for class participation… there’s actually something wrong because it’s almost impossible to get a level 0/1 for class participation unless you don’t speak or you don’t show team effort because it’s also part of the 20% no?
@@ver3846 Are you saying and smart ppl will need to use academic segments to replace the 'not perfect' class participation segment?
@@wt7028 what you just said it’s exactly like me saying this: Are you saying that the talented people cannot use their talents which is speaking and interacting to cover their academic loss.
You guys shld do a video on international schools in Singapore! As someone from an international school and then into poly this would be hella cool to share
Absolutely! I will be sitting as a private candidate for my O's next year and I'm really worried about getting a slot in any of the polytechnics considering that I can only apply through DAE.
I would love to offer my take being a ITE alumni if a video of that is in the works!
Do keep posted on our Instagram! We’ll be announcing our open castings for future shoots over there!
omg yes same
Wah the middle guy handsome leh
can experience hands on in uni what, jc 2 years nia
Please do a video on nsf from army, police and civil defense.❤
I believe the "halal zuok out" you're talking about is ignite

Let’s get that in the works! :)

All the best for your O’s!!!
Can anyone help me I want to be admitted to Nayan Polytechnic / Ngee Ann polytechnic I want to study part-time diploma course . I am working in singapore around 8 years running. my dream I want complete my balance study since I am left my own country . I love to study . please help me
Hi, do you still want to study in the poly?
@@JasmineWong-lp9vn Hi , I would to say that I have been admissions Ngee Ann poly since 2 years , now is my 4 semester final exam has been completed waiting for result.
"yOu prESENted in a siNGAPOrean aCCENt" HAHAHAHAHA I LAUGHED SO HARD
i did accounting in temasek poly and that legend about snakes is pretty true. pretty much the groups u can form are determined by whether u have a good project track record lol.
hi int in accounting in TP and poeple always says business schools got alot of snakes . what do they mean by snakes like ?? talk shit abt each other / fake or??
@@nobody-rw6ep they ask others how your project grades are then dont take you into the group if its too low. now in nus but i heard its about the same shit lol...
have to find the rejects if u end up with this problem...
Republic poly outsiders can come in ?😮
Not gonna lie but hope those kids in the video love their course, else their diploma is pretty useless once they work outside. Coming from experience, no degree no talk in Singapore if you wanna progress. Best if u do business
Ben(nyp): business wear very formal.....
me: yeah tru
oso me: *just wore slippers to sch today*
Stereotypes of all polys i heard:
Nyp- design and media
Sp- smart ppl
Np- business and the men toilet incident...
Tp- got alot of white ppl
Rp- "ite"
Sadly RP seems to be dumping round. U can’t go to the 4, then RO
What’s “white ppl”? You mean TP got many Ang Moh??
A diploma is a diploma regardless of which poly.
RJ is a waste of time.
How I write RJ?
80 % nonsense 20 % is the answer
Oh my so sad the GPA less then 2
In the end, a diploma is a diploma dosent matter which poly you were from

Totally agree with the business part. Can be q toxic la so watch out
Nyp most known for the frisbee!!
There were once
That problem learning
It’s always challenging
At first our team dk how to do
Then we bochup alr ahaha (cuz the cher will randomly pick members from our team to ans ) hopefully it’s not me la
Then end up sia suay
I got picked then i anyhow explain that sounds logical
Then cher said correct lol
How is it even with anyhow explanation
Correct
When whole world is advancing .. SG still in Poly and ITE.. Self entitled PHD
a lot of ppl frm my sch (sa) go for the uniform HAHAHHAA
They should interview poly alumnissss
i went to SP and failed mathematics in 1992. the survey methodology and text-book and module can catch political-circus and business-monkies and ... i qualified for JC...
humanities are ...
manual circuit board tracing-etching before cad-cam...
till today, i disagree with most mathematics except some accounting and some computing. i ended with bachelor in IT.
bruh its a back and forth between the girls
Polyclinic ftw
love how they just skipped over the 'my grades can't make it to jc'
They talked abt it at 24 min mark
ITE episode
The one in white top resembles me of Dani daniels.
'4.0 is very doable' HUH WHAT? XD
20:24 wah everybody cover their mouth at the same time
The crew did too😂
the dude who represented SP: no way FOC in SP was that mild or tamed. My experience there was crazy to say the least. Maybe you have interviewed the wrong guy.
In Singapore you can hardly survive in white collar jobs unless u got degree.
With diploma, ur starting pay is sh*t and you will hard it hard to progress to managerial positions unless u are extremely capable and hardworking
So JC is a better and preferable route as the quota for them to go local uni is way higher, thanks to our singapore Govt.
I can tell you that that's not true. I hold a diploma and am being paid way higher than some grads in my company thanks to experience in my internship hahaha
@@TheSnom what industry do you work in?
i wan cry in rp
i literally cnnt w8 to get outta there.
why?
They do sound like they cannot make it to JC, that’s why poly.
I used to have options to go a good JC in singapore, but I went straight to poly and to a rather obscure course due to ignorant and vanity reasons. Worst decision ever. So I can’t make it to local uni, when I know I surely could if I go JC as I m quite an academic theory type of person, rather than projects practical type.
Still one of my worst decisions as many employers still prefer local uni
Wow this type of comment, that why can’t go uni. Who wants this type of person in their institution? - xoxo j2 kid
topic: which poly is the best
…proceeds to roast jc
vanessa so chio
Go to the courses you interested in else very hard and xin ku. By the way TP is the best
Omg RJJJJ’ssss
Ah yes every RP student's best friend
No good polytechnic , only the school suit your coursers.
go jc bruh
i am literally choosing poly cuz my ss and english can’t make it 😮💨😮💨 heard the gp is rlly hard so with my lousy english skills and inference skills doubt i can make it 🥱🥱
Believe in yourself! Nothing is impossible💚
do remember that gp “only” contributes to 10 rp out of 90 though!
gp will honestly not be that much of a problem. you just have to treat it as a subject and mug for it. just remember your ss; issue 2-3? i think, and it will really help you for gp.
nOT THE PEE?? 😂🤣
Halal zoukout😂😂
NPee best
republic the worse, i come from there.
why?
seems like the RP girl is INTENSIVELY trying to make a good reputation out of RP because of its' bad image amongst all the polytechnics lmaoooo she's like trying to be so proud of being in RP and boasting abt every bad thing
RP is Harvard. I mean Stanford
Well were u in RP?
i think people like you are the reason why she said what she said..
@@milovan9754 everyone knows of the real reputation of RP., but that doesn’t mean everyone chooses to attack it. this girl just made it so obvious and the way she’s overly boasting and making the other poly students uncomfortable is just plain annoying and rude and delusional. I nvr attacked it even once but this is an exception, because this girl is such a bad representation
@@hepburnsss2776 wait what did she even say that’s overly boasting, makes others uncomfortable, annoying, rude and delusional 😭😭
Poly is overrated in 2021, just study hard and strive in top JC
Are you even from poly?
I think no matter how much these kids want to believe otherwise, JC is indeed for mostly smarter kids.. those who have super good grades are very very unlikely to go poly
Just by hearing these kids speak, u know they are not the super intelligent type, except for the one who went 1 year JC.. the next one that sound somewhat smart is the guy in specs.. the rest doesn’t sound so bright sorry
Define "smart"? Academically wise, maybe JC kids will be better. How do you measure it?
nyp guy's @ pls 🛐
