SINGAPORE: 2020 Singapore-Cambridge O-Level exam results will be released next Monday (January 11) at 2 p.m., said the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB). ) in a joint press release.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, arrangements have been made for school candidates to receive their results in their individual classrooms at their respective high schools, rather than meeting as a cohort as in previous years.
Only candidates from the school who collect their results will be allowed to enter the school premises. They are also expected to observe safe management measures.
School candidates who are unwell, under a quarantine order, stay-at-home notice or leave of absence should not return to school to collect their results, the Ministry of Education and Culture said.
Instead, these students can view their results online through SEAB’s results posting system at www.seab.gov.sg starting at 2.45 pm next Monday. The system will be available from January 11 to 25.
School candidates who are eligible for SingPass can use their account to access SEAB’s online results posting system. International students can access the system using the personal identification number (PIN) issued by SEAB sent to their email address that schools provided to SEAB, the press release wrote.

Proxies are required to collect the results by January 13 and produce the relevant documents for school verification.
Candidates can contact their schools for assistance if they are unable to designate a proxy or have not received their password for the SEAB results posting system.
Private candidates will be notified of their individual results by mail. Results will be mailed out on January 11.
Private candidates with SingPass accounts can also get their results online through SEAB’s online results posting system. Those without SingPass accounts can use the PIN issued by SEAB sent to their email addresses.
JOINT EXERCISE OF ADMISSION
Students applying to university colleges (JC), Millenia Institute (MI), polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) can do so through the Joint Admission Exercise (JAE) with their O-Level results.

PFP eligible students who sat down for O-Level assignments will receive a copy of Form P from their high schools when they get their results next Monday.
Each copy of Form P contains a unique password and interested students use the password to submit their applications online through the PFP website.
PFP applications will be open from 2 pm on January 11 to 4 pm on January 15.
The publication of the results will be published at 2:00 p.m. on January 19 on the PFP website. Students must indicate if they choose to accept, decline or appeal for a course change before 4pm on January 21st.
Students who earned a gross total not to exceed 19 points and meet the specific requirements of their chosen course subject are eligible for the DPP.
These students must submit their DPP applications online through the application portal.
The final phase of the DPP application will open on January 11 and close on January 15.
The results of the DPP publication made in the final application phase will be published at 9 am on January 19 through the application portal. Students must also indicate whether they wish to accept or reject the offer before January 21st.
Students offered a place on the DPP must report to ITE on January 21 once they have accepted their course offer.
The last day of classes for Secondary 5 students who accepted a place in the PFP will be January 29. Students will be informed by the respective polytechnics about the dates of enrollment in the PFP.
Students who accepted a place in the earliest application phase of the DPP in December last year, but who decided to accept a PFP offer, will need to apply to ITE to withdraw from the DPP before they can accept the new offer.
