Application Process

1. Students who are interested in applying to the PFP should first progress to Secondary 5 on 2 January 2024. Upon the release of the 2023 GCE 'O'-Level results in January 2024, eligible N(A) students will receive a copy of Form P through their schools, inviting them to apply for the Polytechnic Diploma courses of their choice under the PFP. Applications for the PFP will commence after the release of the GCE 'O'-Level results, at the same time as the annual Joint Admissions Exercise. A successful applicant will be posted to the corresponding PFP for the Diploma course that he/she has been offered a place in. Application results will be released by end-January 2024. Students should only withdraw from Secondary 5 after they have accepted a PFP offer. Refer to FAQ for more details.
