SIT Admissions Megathread 2025 (PLEASE READ)
Welcome aspiring SITizens! It's that time of the year again, and I humbly welcome you to SIT's 2025 general admissions!
This yearly megathread is here to guide and connect all prospective students, as well as sharing their application information in a standardised format. Whether you're looking for advice, sharing your application journey, or simply meeting others embarking on the same path, this is the place to be.
Seniors, I encourage y'all to lurk here and answer any questions that the applicants might have too.
Some FAQs before we proceed:
- When will interviews start? - Depends on your course, but they should start in early-mid March, lasting all the way until mid-April.
- When will offers be given out? - Usually April to mid-May. The first reported offer last year was on 25 March.
- When will they issue rejections? - Mid-May onwards, if you don't get an offer by then you should start preparing for your appeal statements. The first rejection date last year was on 20 May.
- Why has my friend received their interview/offer while I have not, despite both of us applying for the same course at the same time? - Not confirmed information, but interviews and offers are given out over a time period and not in a chronological order
- What kind of questions will they ask in the interview? - For online interviews you'll get generic questions like why [insert course here]. For face-to-face interviews they might ask targeted questions related to the course you're applying for (e.g Math/Physics questions for Engineering applicants). Use the search bar for more information.
- How many interviews will I need to do? - Should be around 1-2 interviews only, depending on the strength of your application.
- The portal shows "Offered" for my application, but I have not received any email? - Just wait patiently for the offer email, SIT updates the portal status first before mass-sending out the emails.
- I have not received any offer yet, am I cooked? - Not yet. Especially if you're an allied health or Digipen / TUM applicant. These courses usually release their offers late, around early to mid May based on past experiences.
- I have received an interview offer for my second choice, does that mean that I am rejected from my first choice? - Based on applicants' experiences last year, it is quite likely. But no one here can tell you for certain 100%.
- I have been rejected, how should I write my appeal statement for my intended course? - Bring up points on how you are a good fit for SIT's culture (lifelong learning, industry ready, etc.). Try your best to explain why you deserve the spot and relate it back to the values SIT are looking out for here.
- How good are my chances of getting in SIT once I've been rejected and submitted my appeal statement? - Chances are already slim at this stage even after submitting your appeals, but it is still worth a shot. Do not give up!
Please make sure you get your NRIC/11B ready BEFORE starting the online interview assessment.
Here are some guiding questions from the online interview for SIT-UOG's Computing Science:
Verbal:
- Why did you select this programme?
- Share with us about what you have read or researched on an IT-related topic such as IOT, AI, Cyber Sec and why is it interesting to you.
- When you are introduced to a new and difficult topic, how would you go about mastering it? Cite specific examples from your studies or work where applicable.
- Which was the most difficult programming language you have learnt, and why?
- In life, we will encounter some failures or setbacks that has affected you the most, and how did you overcome it?
- What are some important qualities needed for this programme?
- Some modules do not have a final exam. Do you prefer modules with or without final exam? Explain why.
- Describe any work or internship you have undertaken previously, especially if it is in a related industry to this programme. Share with us your job scope and any specific lessons you have learnt from your work stints.
- How have you been involved in community service? Share with us your experience and thoughts on giving back to the community.
- If you had to work with a difficult team member, how would you approach the situation? Give us an example from your experience.
Written:
- What are other things you want to let us know so that it can help with your application?
- Did you apply to other programmes including those at other universities? What are your top 3 choices across the universities?
After finishing the online interview assessment, you may still get called down for the face-to-face interview. So be prepared. Allied Health face-to-face interviews are more specialised, and they might involve you writing essays on world issues / ethical concerns. You may be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding the essay topics in the interview for HSS courses, so please DO NOT reveal too much information online.

To (try to) enforce consistency in the reporting of offer dates, please ONLY indicate the date which you have received the OFFER EMAIL. Logging into the portal and seeing your application status as "Offered" does not count.
The dates listed here are ONLY for GENERAL ADMISSIONS. Early Admission Exercise (EAE) or appeal application dates are NOT listed, as most students get in through general admissions.
Take note that the information for offer dates are all self-reported from fellow applicants like yourself, meaning they might not be 100% accurate.
Good luck to all and see you guys in Punggol!
