Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise
12The JPSAE complements the existing JAE, by allowing polytechnics to consider applicants based on a broader measure of merits beyond performance in the GCE O-Level Examination. It allows polytechnics to consider students with outstanding talents and achievements in areas such as leadership, community service and sports. Each polytechnic will have the discretion to determine its own means of assessing applicants’ talents and achievements, including through portfolios and interviews. The polytechnics will calibrate the selection criteria to ensure that only applicants who are able to cope with the rigours of a diploma education are admitted. 13The JPSAE will be conducted together with the JAE from 10 to 14 January 2011. A student can apply concurrently to both the JPSAE and JAE. Successful applicants may be offered a course under the JAE and the same or another course under theJPSAE. Students who are offered courses under both JAE and JPSAE can decide to accept one of the two offers and exercise it during the enrolment period set by the polytechnics.
