About
The Supplementary Intake Exercise (SIE) is subject to vacancies available on the day of release of PSLE results. The application is open only to current P6 students who have taken the PSLE and who have not been admitted to a school through the DSA-Sec Exercise. Application is not open to applicants who have attended and/or applied to the Talent Academy.
Applicants who are interested to apply to SOTA via the SIE should also concurrently take part in the MOE Secondary one (S1) Posting Exercise for the posting of Secondary School and Third Language (if applicable). Successful SIE applicants who have accepted SOTA’s SIE offer will not be posted to another school under the S1 Posting Exercise. Applicants who have opted for Third Language in the S1 Posting Exercise will still be processed based on their Third Language choices.
Only shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend a selection audition and interview.
Interested applicants are strongly advised to indicate their interest online and upload the required documents during the Indication of Interest period. This page will be updated with more information in November 2021.
Online Application for SIE will only open if there is vacancy available on the PSLE results release date.
