What documents do Indian CBSE students need for verification when joining NUS as new admits?
Indian CBSE admits need original Class 12 and Class 10 mark sheets and passing certificates, their international passport, the Student's Pass or IPA letter from ICA, the NUS admission offer letter, and a completed medical examination report, all verified physically upon arrival on campus.
When you land in Singapore as an NUS admit, you will go through a mandatory physical verification, so carry every original document rather than relying on scanned uploads. Missing or mismatched documents can put your admission itself at risk, so treat this checklist as non-negotiable.
Documents You Must Carry
| Category | Documents Needed |
|---|---|
| Academic | CBSE Class 12 and Class 10 mark sheets, certificates |
| Identification | International passport, NUS offer letter |
| Immigration | Student's Pass or IPA letter from ICA |
| Health | Completed NUS medical examination report |
Additional Points to Note
- Carry your original Class 9 and 11 transcripts too, if your specific offer letter mentions them explicitly.
- Bring original score reports for JEE Advanced, SAT, ACT or Olympiad certificates only if you had formally submitted them during your application.
- You can complete your medical screening either at the NUS University Health Centre on arrival, or beforehand in India using the specific NUS medical form.
My Advice
Make a physical folder with every original document listed above weeks before you fly, and double check that nothing in your online uploads contradicts your physical papers, since NUS explicitly reserves the right to cancel admission over discrepancies. Book your Student's Pass and medical screening appointments as early as your ICA timeline allows.
