NUS-ISS MTech Enterprise Business Analytics (EBAC)

[YouHeypiCanLiao]

nah just EBAC, went through an entrance test followed by an interview, standard procedure isnt it

how is the test like, coming from an engine background??

btw, I'm also looking at the stackable thingy, not sure how it works?

 

[new_dvd]

thanks you too, when was ur interview?

My one was in October...

 

[mrbongo]

i see i see. No wonder you already got offer letter. I applied for full time. two weeks passed and just verified the documents only.

Care to share the application process? What was your bachelor degree, the major, and local public/private or overseas? Did you went through the entry test and interview?

sorry didn't know that this thread now has so many replies liao..haha

the process is like...after the application you go for this entrance test..it's quite hard actually. not because the content is but there are a lot of questions for a 60 mins time limit.

my degree is in comp sci(private)

then afterwards they call you up for interview, ask some questions to make sure you know what you are applying for, etc

then is the long agonising wait..dead silence and I find myself keep refreshing email every now and then to wait for the acceptance email.

To those who have been rejected, just keep pressing on. I have applied many times to NUS; I think this is my third time. Every time I was rejected, I took on more courses online to enrich my knowledge and each time I apply, I keep enforcing the fact that I have improved in my tech skills, etc.. Don't give up, one day you will break through this admission barrier.

The entrance test might not be at NUS. I took mine at a office building in the CBD area. I think they have a few dates for the tests. Anyway, there were about 40 people at the test.

You should contact them to register for entrance test. I made the same mistake last year waiting their call for entrance test and in the end, my application was unsuccessful because i did not take up the test.

Many thanks for the advise. I contacted NUS immediately and they said the schedule is not out yet. The admin staff gave me a website to register for the EBAC info sharing session.

Are you going to register again for the same program?

 

[EmoryHsu]

You can refer to this PDF:

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/gd/GDTuitionCurrent.pdf

For students who are Singapore Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents, the tuition fees quoted here are subsidised by the Singapore government (through the Ministry of Education, MOE) and are exclusive of prevailing GST. The applicable GST for these students is subsidised by MOE. With effect from AY2018/2019, newly admitted Singapore Permanent Residents from Double Degree Programme comprising an MBA from Renmin University of China (RUC) and Master of Science in Real Estate (MRE) from NUS are not eligible for MOE subsidy.

All singaporeans and PRS are eligible for the subsidized sch fees. Those with scholarship are not eligible. That's my understanding.

 

[EmoryHsu]

hmm, i thought Mtech EBAC is not MOE-subsidised. Refer to this pdf:


Feel confusing who will provide the subsidies for this program...

according to the information session I attended few months ago..someone said they most people(SC&PR) SHOULD be able to get the subsidy..perhaps someone who has attended the latest info session can ask and confirm?

[only_lonely]

Anyone here compared the nus iss course vs smu mbit?
I missed the nus iss course. Not sure if the analytics courses differences.
Anyone can share?

 

[Shinji Kagawa]

Have the 2019 full time acceptance invites been received by anyone?

 

[frotle009]

Technical?

First few questions were like confirming your interest in the program. Questions are asked for experience in data analytics, time management for the full time program etc

This is followed by some technical questions on statistic theories. Different interviewers might ask different questions. Interviewers are the lecturers for the courses and one will interview the candidates on different slots.

Have the 2019 full time acceptance invites been received by anyone?

Went for the interview last week, not yet receive the offer.

Did you apply as well?

 

[Shinji Kagawa]

I went for it mid march. No offer yet.

Have the 2019 full time acceptance invites been received by anyone?

I m still going for interview next week... :/ so I think they are still interviewing all the candidates.
