Admission Odds (2022–2024 Data)
Applicant-to-Vacancy Ratios (Lower = Better)
| Phase | 2022 Ratio | 2023 Ratio | 2024 Ratio | Balloting History |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2B | 0.95:1 | 0.80:1 | 0.50:1 | No balloting (SC<1 always wins) |
| 2C | 1.83:1 | 1.84:1 | 1.69:1 | SC<1 ballots in all years |
Key Trends:
- 2B is safer (consistently undersubscribed for SC<1).
- 2C is competitive (1.7:1 avg. ratio; SC<1 ballots yearly).
Your Winning Strategy
1. By Priority Group
SC<1 (Singapore Citizens <1km):
- ✅ 2B: Guaranteed admission (0.5:1 in 2024).
- ⚠️ 2C: Competitive but prioritized (ballots SC<1 first).
SC1-2 (Singapore Citizens 1–2km):
- ❌ 2B/2C: Rarely successful (SC<1 fills vacancies).
PR Applicants:
- ❌ All phases: No recorded vacancies since 2022.
2. Pro Tips
- Target Phase 2B first (best odds for SC<1).
- Relocate within 1km if possible (SC<1 dominates 2C ballots).
- Avoid 2C if >1km (historically no spots for SC1-2/PR).
2026 Prediction
- 2B: Likely remains safe for SC<1.
- 2C: Demand may rise (prepare backup options).
