JUPAS

DSE students:

The elective subjects should include either biology or chemistry and preferably both.

They rank DSE students based on total score of their DSE subject results with the following scoring scheme:

5** = 7, 5* = 6, 5 = 5, 4 = 4, 3 = 3, 2 = 2, 1 = 1

A minimum total score of 40 is required for invitation to an interview

(e.g 2 "5**, 2 "5*", 2 "5" and 1 "4" = a score of 40)
