Do Indian students need to give TOEFL for applying to NUS and NTU?
OR
Do they need a letter from their university stating that the medium of education was English?

P.S-Medium of education at my Undergrad school(BITS Pilani) was English.

NUS website clearly says that only those applicants whose medium of instructions for the undergraduate studies was not English are required to submit TOEFL or IELTS.

Don't know about info sessions in India but last year we invited NUS adcoms in our chat room to chat with applicants (Chat transcript is posted here) and we are going to invite them, as well as few current students, this year as well. Keep eye on this discussion thread for chat notifications.

Good luck!

NUS Singapore - Admission Trends!


Hi Everyone, I am posting here an analysis of admission trends and acceptance chances at NUS based on our accumulated forum data of NUS applicants. We have analysed our forum data of NUS applicants from 2012 to 2016 to determine acceptance chances by GMAT score, GPA, age, and industry.

Due to limitation of data sample we have restricted our analysis to GMAT, GPA, Age, and Industry; We did not take applicants' countries and admission rounds in to consideration.

Since the data used for this analysis is self-reported, it's advised to use findings of this analysis with discretion. They are meant to give only a general idea of admission scenario at NUS. Don't presume that these findings will hold true all the time.

We would welcome any comments, opinions, suggestions or anything else that you might have to say about the findings of this analysis.


YOY Acceptance Rate and Avg GMAT of Applicants



Sample Size: 666 Applicants





Acceptance Rate by GMAT Score



  • NUS is one of the most prestigious and competitive schools in South east Asia and the intensity of competition can be seen in the following chart. Even after attaining 710 on GMAT you have 8% chance of acceptance.
  • We can see some rapid increase from 720 onwards, but even at highest point acceptance chance remains at 21%.

Sample Size: 274 Applicants





Acceptance Rates of Applicants in Different Age Groups



Sample Size: 157 Applicants





Acceptance rates of applicants from various industries



  • The first chart - line chart - shows acceptance rates of applicants from various industries and the pie chart next to it shows industry-wise allocation of applicants.

Sample Size: 282 Applicants







GPA: Accepted Vs Overall Applicant Pool



Sample Size: 666 Applicants



As I said earlier, we welcome your views, counter-views, suggestions, etc on the analysis. Thank you!

Congrats on the interview guys.

For reference, this is my interview debrief from last year : calling-all-nus-singapore-applicants-2016-intake-class-of-200736-240.html#p1667304

NUS sends invites till late in the cycle so don't be disheartened if you haven't received one yet.

All the best!
