5 Why would I want to EAE to ITE to do Nitec? At ITE, students who do well for Nitec 2 nd year (under JIE N ) may try EAE (Poly-i) Successful students will head to Poly and skip Higher Nitec!!!!! Hence, this is a great opportunity! 5

7 4 You ll still have to meet the minimum entry requirements Most Nitec courses have subject-specific minimum entry requirements ( or your offer will be revoked) 5 But you won t have to compete for admission to ITE strictly on the basis of how well you do academically compared to everyone else Who Is It For?
