Ngee Ann Polytechnic will be using an artificial intelligence platform to help with its Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) assessment and selection process.
The polytechnic has started this with five of its schools — business and accountancy, film and media studies, health sciences, infocomm technology, as well as life sciences and chemical technology.
The AI platform can read write-ups submitted by students and interact with them through an online chat to gauge their aptitude.
Additionally, MOE said that the polytechnics and ITE will be ready to render support to applicants who face difficulties with the online selection process. For such students, online interviews and assessments may be conducted at school premises instead of at home, with information technology equipment borrowed from the school.
Working adults can also apply to polytechnics via the EAE from June 8 to July 5. Applicants should be Singaporeans or permanent residents with at least two years of relevant work experience, and should submit employment records and employer recommendations.
