As an example, NUS MS Computer Science tuition for an international student without the TG is approximately SGD 42,200 (Rs. 31,23,000) per year.

The employer must be registered with Singapore&#8217;s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), which includes local companies as well as Singapore-registered subsidiaries of international companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking the bond requires payment of liquidated damages, the full amount of subsidy received, plus 10% interest compounded annually. The duration of the service obligation is fixed at 3 years, regardless of the duration of study at subsidised rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are also required to nominate two sureties (guarantors), individuals of any nationality aged 21 to 64, who are not undischarged bankrupts, who will be jointly liable for liquidated damages if you fail to complete the bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-01fecd7\" id=\"strong-bond-deferment-strong\" data-block-id=\"01fecd7\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>Bond deferment<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply to MOE for bond deferment if you wish to pursue further studies immediately after graduation.

Students at these institutions pay the institution&#8217;s own fee structure in full, with no MOE subsidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your goal is to reduce overall tuition cost through the TG, your programme must be at NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD, SIT, or SUSS. Before accepting the TG, confirm that you are prepared to remain employed in Singapore for 3 years post-graduation. Indian students who intend to return to India immediately after graduating should not accept the grant, as the bond is legally enforceable and breaking it is costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-0e4abf7\" id=\"strong-singapore-students-pass-what-indian-students-must-know-strong\" data-block-id=\"0e4abf7\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Singapore_Students_Pass_What_Indian_Students_Must_Know\"><\/span><strong>Singapore Student&#8217;s Pass: What Indian Students Must Know<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore does not issue a traditional study visa.
