What is ITE EAE?

Institute of Technical Education Early Admission Exercise (ITE EAE) is an aptitude-based admissions exercise that allows students to apply and receive conditional offers for admission to ITE before receiving their O-Level or N-Level examinations results, or final Nitec Grade Point Average (GPA).

  • Full-time Nitec or Traineeship students who will graduate in the same academic year as the ITE EAE.
  • SCs and PRs who have sat for the N-Level or O-Level examinations previously or have graduated from ITE full-time Nitec or Traineeship courses.
