NUS’ bonus admission points benefit more

NUS' move to award bonus admission points for first-choice courses has enabled more incoming students in 2019 to win a place in their top-choice course – 1,050 applicants landed a place in a course they listed as their top choice this year because of the bonus point scheme. NUS’ intake for the year was 7,800. In 2018, when NUS started the scheme to award 1.25 bonus points for an applicant’s first choice, about 700 students benefited.
