Poly to Uni

Poly graduates vying for a place in the Uni will compete among themselves, i.e. they will not be compared with the 'A' level students. A module from a Poly is not equivalent to a 'A' subject so there is no meaningful comparison, anyway.
The formula for calculating the weighted average is as follows (info from NTU Briefing for Polytechnic Academic Staff on 21 October 2009):
Poly results 80%
GCE 'O' level 20%

Those without 'O' level, will be disadvantaged and will fall under the discretionary admission category. They need to demonstrate passion, creativity or leadership during their course of study during their interview.
