2024 Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme (DPP) – A Pathway to Success

The Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme (DPP) offers a valuable opportunity for eligible Secondary 4 N(A) students to embark on a two-year Higher Nitec course at ITE, preparing them for progression into selected polytechnic diploma courses. This esteemed program serves as a stepping stone for students to realize their academic aspirations, providing a structured pathway toward a bright and promising future.

The application process for the DPP is crucial for aspiring students, and it is essential to familiarize oneself with the key dates and requirements. Eligible students are encouraged to submit their applications through the dedicated DPP application portal at http://www.ite.edu.sg/apply-for-ite-courses. It is imperative to adhere to the application window, which will open from 12.00am on Thursday, 11 January 2024, to 11.59pm on Tuesday, 16 January 2024.

Upon the release of the DPP posting results, successful applicants must promptly indicate their acceptance or rejection of the offer through the designated portal by 11.59pm on Monday, 22 January 2024. Those who have embraced this remarkable opportunity and have been offered a place in the DPP must then report to ITE on Monday, 22 January 2024 to commence their chosen course with enthusiasm and dedication.

For students who have chosen to pursue the Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP), it is essential to note the specific timelines and guidelines. The finality of decisions must be carefully considered, as students who have previously accepted a place in the DPP and now wish to transition to the PFP are required to adhere to the withdrawal process. It is advisable to seek guidance from ITE class advisors to navigate the withdrawal process effectively and adhere to the relevant deadlines.
