It doesn&#8217;t. NUS decides whether you need the SAT based on your board (CBSE\/ISC skip it, State Board doesn&#8217;t). NTU decides based on your medium of instruction; if you studied in English, no standardized English test helps or hurts your application at all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NTU_Singapore_Admission_Requirements_for_Indian_Standard_12_Students\"><\/span><strong>NTU Singapore Admission Requirements for Indian Standard 12 Students<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the section most Indian applicants need to read closely, since NTU&#8217;s official language is more specific than most third-party guides capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The core academic bar:<\/strong> At least 90% in all subjects, including English, at Standard 12. Other languages and technical subjects such as Home Science, Art, and Fashion Design are excluded from this calculation. If you&#8217;re sitting an Improvement Exam, you must retake every subject from your original attempt in the same sitting; NTU will not combine results across different exam years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JEE and Olympiad consideration:<\/strong> JEE-Main scores are explicitly not required and won&#8217;t strengthen your application under NTU Singapore admission requirements. A strong JEE-Advanced rank, however, is valued as supporting evidence. Separately, medallists of specific International Science Olympiads, Biology (IBO), Chemistry (IChO), Physics (IPhO), Mathematics (IMO), Informatics (IOI), Astronomy (IAO), Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA), Artificial Intelligence (IOAI), and Nuclear Science (INSO), receive more favorable consideration for programs related to their field. This consideration does not extend to India-administered olympiad variants such as iOS, iiO, or iOM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mathematics prerequisite nuance:<\/strong> For programs like Accountancy, Business, Communication Studies, Economics, Psychology, and Sport Science &amp; Management, if you did not take Additional Mathematics at the Junior level, you must have taken Mathematics (including Business or Applied Mathematics) at Standard 12. For Applied Computing in Finance or Science\/Double Major programs requiring Mathematics at Senior High School level, Business or Applied Mathematics at Standard 12 alone is not sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program-specific deadline cutoff:<\/strong> If your results become available after 1 April of the application year, you&#8217;re not eligible for the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) or Renaissance Engineering program in that particular admission exercise, even if you meet every other requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Source:<\/em><\/strong><em> NTU Singapore, India Standard 12 admission requirements.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> The 90% figure trips up more applicants than any other detail on this page, because families often calculate their aggregate average rather than checking every individual subject.

Consider whether your subject mix genuinely reflects your strengths before assuming rejection is inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re missing an English test score but didn&#8217;t study in English:<\/strong> Book an available test slot immediately; SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE all have relatively frequent sitting dates in India, but processing and score-release timelines mean you should test at least 6-8 weeks before your intended submission date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your results will only be available after 1 April:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re targeting LKCMedicine or Renaissance Engineering specifically, you&#8217;re not eligible for that admission exercise regardless of your predicted scores. Consider other NTU colleges with more flexible result-timing rules, or plan for the next admission cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re unsure whether GRE or GATE is the better PhD route:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re an Indian engineering graduate with a recent, strong GATE score, submitting that instead of sitting a fresh GRE can save months of preparation time for eligible NTU programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Most rejected Indian applications we review didn&#8217;t fail on raw academic merit.

Other languages and technical subjects like Home Science, Art, and Fashion Design are excluded from this calculation, so the figure applies to your genuinely academic subject mix rather than your full mark sheet.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524063058\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do I need SAT for NTU Singapore, the same way NUS requires it?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The two universities use entirely different logic, so the rules aren&#8217;t interchangeable. NTU requires an English proficiency test like SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE only if English wasn&#8217;t your medium of instruction in high school. NUS instead decides based on your board specifically, CBSE and ISC students skip it, State Board students don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524067530\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is JEE Main required for NTU Singapore admission?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>JEE Main is explicitly not required and does not strengthen an NTU application under current admission requirements, so skipping it costs you nothing. A strong JEE Advanced rank, however, is genuinely valued as supporting evidence for competitive programs, particularly Engineering and Computing, so it&#8217;s worth including if you have one.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524072556\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What are NTU Singapore&#8217;s PhD admission requirements for Indian students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>PhD applicants need a valid GRE General Test score, though Indian applicants may submit GATE scores instead for eligible programs. A Master&#8217;s degree isn&#8217;t a prerequisite; students can be admitted directly from a Bachelor&#8217;s degree as Research Students and confirmed as PhD candidates after passing a Qualifying Examination.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524078184\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Does the Nanyang MBA require a GMAT score?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Applicants must submit a GMAT, GMAT Focus, or GRE score as part of the Nanyang MBA application, alongside two referee reports and an application fee of SGD 100. You can begin your application before taking the test and add your official score once it&#8217;s available, which helps if your test date falls close to a round deadline.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524083014\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the NTU Singapore application fee for Indian students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Undergraduate applications cost SGD 20, roughly Rs.1,500. Postgraduate coursework programs range from SGD 50 to SGD 100 depending on the school, and the Nanyang MBA specifically charges SGD 100. Confirm the exact current fee on the applicant portal before paying, since amounts are periodically revised.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524088458\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>When does NTU Singapore open applications for the 2027-28 academic year?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>NTU had not published the official AY2027-28 undergraduate application window at the time of this guide. Based on past cycles, applications typically open in mid-October and close between January and February, but treat any specific third-party date as unconfirmed until NTU&#8217;s own admissions page lists it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1788524093268\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What happens if my Class 12 percentage is under 90%?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>NTU doesn&#8217;t guarantee admission even at the minimum threshold, since places are limited and highly competitive, but a strong JEE Advanced rank or an International Science Olympiad medal can meaningfully strengthen a borderline application. Review your subject-by-subject percentages carefully before concluding you&#8217;re ineligible, since one weak subject can distort an otherwise strong overall profile.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">11<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min read<\/span><\/span> \u26a1 Quick Read NTU requires at least 90% in all Standard 12 subjects, including English.
