Selection

Do note that applying to SIT does not equate to being shortlisted or accepted. SIT takes a holistic approach in assessing applicants, taking into consideration academic results, extra-curricular interests and the candidate’s passion and personal qualities. Relevant work experience will also be considered and all shortlisted applicants will be assessed through interviews. For specific degree programmes, students may also have to submit portfolios or essays.
