Verify your CCA records
Ensure that the CCA attainment in your CCA record is accurate as CCA bonus points will be used to calculate your net aggregate scores for determining polytechnic course eligibility and for JAE posting. Inform your school immediately of any discrepancies.
- Gross aggregate score = Sum of all O-Level subject grades used in the course application
- Net aggregate score = Gross aggregate score minus bonus points
If you are a private candidate, current or ex-student of JC, MI, polytechnic or ITE and are eligible to apply for courses through JAE, you will still be entitled to CCA bonus points.
