What are the factors affecting the JC cut off points?

Bonus points for JC admission

Deducting O-Level bonus points from your gross (or raw) L1R5 aggregate score makes the JC cut off points easier for you to meet.

JC affiliation

Selecting a JC affiliated to your secondary school as your first choice in the JAE makes the affiliated JC’s cut off points easier for you to meet.

What is the difference between the JC cut off points and the JC entry requirements?

The JC cut off points are in terms of net L1R5 aggregate score, while the L1R5 entry requirement for JC is in terms of gross (or raw) L1R5 aggregate score.
