Winning a full scholarship for computer science at NUS or NTU is possible for you, but it demands near perfect board results and a clear application strategy from the start. You will need 97 to 98 percent or higher, with especially strong math scores, since admissions and scholarships here are evaluated almost entirely on your Class 12 marks.
What the Scholarships Cover
| Scholarship | Coverage | Work Bond |
|---|---|---|
| MOE Tuition Grant | 40 to 50% of tuition fees | 3 years in Singapore |

Your Application Timeline
- October to December: apply through the NUS or NTU portal with Class 10 marks and predicted Class 12 scores, and tick the scholarship consideration box.
- May to June: upload your actual Class 12 mark sheet within 3 days of results being declared.
- June to July: shortlisted students go through an online interview on academic motivation and problem solving.
My Advice
Focus your final year entirely on maximising your board percentage and math scores, since that single number decides whether you even reach the interview stage. Build one or two solid coding projects or a strong JEE score in parallel to reinforce your profile, and go in fully accepting the multi-year work bond that comes with any full scholarship.
