Subj for Counting in University Score

General Paper (GP) OR Knowledge & Inquiry (KI)
3 H2 and 1 H1 Content Subjects

One must be a contrasting subject
Project Work (PW)

Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue grades (H1 MTL or O Level HMT) may be submitted for consideration. However, MT B results cannot earn any A level points in the computation of the university score.
COMPUTATION OF UNIVERSITY SCORE

3H2 + 1H1 + GP + PW
(Maximum score of x points)
OR 3H2 + 1H1 + GP + PW + MTL

(Maximum score of x + y, rebased to x points)
3H2 1H1 GP 3H2 2H1 GP 4H2 3H2 GP KI KI
Count 3 H2, 1 H1 (one must be a PW MTL contrasting subject), GP and PW.
Count 3 H2, better H1 (one must be a PW MTL contrasting subject), GP and PW.
Count best 3 H2, worst H2 as H1 (one PW MTL must be a contrasting subject), GP and PW. Count 3 H2, KI as H1, KI as H1 (in PW MTL place of GP) and PW.
3H2 1H1
Count 3 H2, best of H1 or KI as H1 (must fulfil contrasting subject PW MTL requirement), KI as H1 (in place of GP) and PW.

NJC Subject Combinations

Normal Combinations Students are advised to select a combination from the list of normal subject combinations. Odd Combinations (Type 1) Students are allowed to choose an odd combination that is not a normal combination provided it conforms to a structure allowed in NJC. We will try our best to offer your desired combination. In the event that your combination cannot be offered, we will contact you personally. Odd Combinations (Type 2) Students who wish to offer an odd combination that does not conform to a structure allowed in NJC must make a special request with the College. (For example to offer more units of H1 and H2 subjects without H3)
