11 August 2025
Beginning the new chapter after your polytechnic or diploma in India gives you the world and what better place to do so than Singapore to pursue further studies? With its internationally renowned institutions, cosmopolitan culture, and clear diploma holder pathways, Singapore is the intelligent, fascinating option. We at BCES Admissions Abroad are here to facilitate you in making that move easy, enriching, and in harmony with your career and personal goals.
Why to Study Further in Singapore after Polytechnic or Diploma?
Singapore’s university system is renowned for its stringent syllabus and global level. Some of the universities like National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and Singapore Management University (SMU) have programs specifically designed to transform diploma qualifications into degree entry. Quite a lot of graduates from Indian polytechnics find that two- or three-year credentials are good enough to be considered for entry into the second or even third year of a degree course.
To top that, Singaporean society is friendly, with Indian students being an active component of student life. Low-cost transportation, security, and a tidy city environment make it very attractive. Interestingly, Singapore has recently increased scholarship schemes and work-study opportunities available to international students, providing more support as it is available today.
