SINGAPORE: The results of the 2021 Singapore-Cambridge Ordinary Level (O-Level) exams will be released at 2pm on Jan 12, with students to collect their results in their classrooms.
Only school candidates collecting their results will be allowed into school premises, and they will be expected to observe safe management measures, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said on Wednesday (Jan 5).
Students on COVID-19 health risk warning will be allowed to collect their results in person if they obtain negative results on an antigen rapid test taken on the day of the results release before going to school.
Those who are unwell or are required to self-isolate due to a positive COVID-19 test result should not go to school, said MOE and SEAB.
They can check their results on SEAB's online candidates portal from 2.45pm on Jan 12 instead. The portal will remain accessible until Jan 26.
Students can use their Singpass account to access the portal, while international students will receive a system-generated username via email from Jan 7.
Those who are unable to collect their results in person should inform their schools, said MOE and SEAB.
They can appoint a proxy to collect the results on their behalf. Proxies will be required to produce the relevant documents for the school's verification.
Students can contact their schools for assistance if they are unable to appoint a proxy, or if they have not received their system-generated username for the online portal, added the authorities.
Private candidates will receive their results by post. These will be mailed on Jan 12 to the address they have provided to SEAB. Candidates who have Singpass can also obtain their results on the online portal.
Using their O-Level results, candidates can apply for admission to junior colleges, Millennia Institute, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) through the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE).
The JAE Internet System will be accessible from 3pm on Jan 12, to 4pm on Jan 17 for students to submit their course choices.
When collecting their exam results, eligible school candidates will receive their copy of Form A, which lists their results, courses they can apply for and a personal password to access the JAE Internet System. Private candidates will receive Form A via post.
Students can appoint a proxy to collect their Form A from schools by Jan 14. Alternatively, candidates can download a copy of Form A from the JAE Internet System using Singpass during the registration period.
"Applicants are strongly encouraged to use the JAE worksheet (provided in Form A or the JAE information booklet) before submitting their online application," said MOE and SEAB.
The JAE posting results will be released on Feb 4 via SMS and the JAE Internet System.
Applicants posted to the junior colleges and Millennia Institute are to report to the posted school on Feb 7.
If unable to report on the first day of school due to "valid reasons", students can contact the posted school to confirm that they are taking up the place, and the school will be able to reserve the place for them, said the authorities.
Applicants posted to polytechnics and ITE will receive a letter from their respective institutions on the enrolment details.
Students who accepted offers through the Direct School Admission - Junior Colleges exercise will be admitted to their chosen school if their O-Level results meet the eligibility criteria. These students will not be eligible to participate in the JAE.
Students who do not meet the eligibility criteria can take part in the JAE.

Applications for this programme will be open from 2pm on Jan 12, to 4pm on Jan 17. The posting results will be released online at 2pm on Jan 21.
