Republic Polytechnic and the other polytechnics say working-adult Early Admissions Exercise offers must be accepted online by Friday 16 October 2026, 11.59pm, after results open on Tuesday 8 September at 2pm.
That is a longer window than the O-Level track, which closes on Thursday 11 September 2026, 11.59pm. A non-response is treated as a rejection.
Who the working-adult track covers
Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with at least two years of relevant full-time work experience may use the working-adult route. Outcomes appear on the shared EAE Application Portal. Applicants who accept an offer are not eligible for JAE, JPAE and other polytechnic admissions exercises, and cannot switch courses within or across polytechnics.
Withdrawal still runs to 16 October
Temasek Polytechnic states the same 16 October 2026, 11.59pm acceptance deadline for working adults. Anyone who accepts and later wants out must withdraw on the portal by that same timestamp.
Working-adult Poly EAE offers stay open for acceptance until 16 October 2026, 11.59pm.
