Tips for Admission in National University of Singapore
#7
Dear Rishabh,

Though my experience pertains more to biotechnology, NUS has a similar criteria for all branches of science/engineering. So, if we go by their eligibility criteria, your GATE percentile is well above their expectations. But I see a minor hiccup in your B.tech percentage which is below their conventional expectation of 80% (they usually look for 2nd class upper, so if you passed with such a grade even at 71%, then you are safe). But, it shouldn't worry you much as your GATE percentile should grab their attention, so do give an attempt to the application even if you dont fall in the 2nd class upper band.

But, personally I would recommend that you should make your profile strong through some internship (in the area of your interest) or go for GRE (subjective, in the subject of your interest). This would help in letting your profile reach out, compared to the competing candidates (which I expect would come with similar/better profiles, as of now).

Applications for January 2015 intake will start from 23 Jul 2014 and will close on 27 Aug 2014 (For course work based).

For Research based program, it's actually going to close on 15th of May (i.e in 3-4 days only).

And, yes, they usually prefer international candidates for Research based programs (which enable the scientists there to carry on their "project specific" research through dedicated research based students). Course work students are expected to attend formal classes, seminars, laboratories and written examinations. Some programmes may also require the writing of a dissertation based on a project the candidate has undertaken. So, it kinds of diverts the research thrust. So, you should apply for Research based program only for strong candidature.

And, about scholarship, you shouldn't worry much about what scholarship to apply for. Almost every candidate who gets shortlisted for interview is by default considered for TAship (S$2000-2500 per month). It's in rare case that you need to apply for other scholarships (which often pay less). Still for your info, please refer SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GRADUATE STUDIES

And, if your medium of study in 12th was English, you need not to appear for TOEFL/GRE. But as I said, appear for GRE(subjective) to make your case strong. But again, I guess, you are having very limited time to apply for Jan 2015 intake, so better apply asap without much a do.

Let me know if you need assistance on any other thing.

Best wishes

Sunil
