What is the cut-off-point for this course?
If you wish to take the Diploma in Electronics, you need to come in through the Diploma in ETCM. The JAE code for ETCM is T05. You will then undergo a common first year ETCM course, before opting for and branching out into the Diploma in Electronics in your second and final years of study. You will then graduate with the Diploma in Electronics at the end of your third year of study.
The Cut-Off-Point (COP) indicates the ELR2B2 aggregate score (after deducting CCA bonus points) of the last applicant posted to the course(s) under JAE. The previous year's COP serves only as a gauge. Admission is by merit and choice, subject to vacancy.
