  Was studying in tp, got removed from the course. Not sure what to do now. Should I apply for another course or go for early NS? I'm going to be 18 in July.
  
  Though I doubt the chances of getting into a another course is going to be easy.Maybe A'levels as a private candidate or those private institutes(but heard they are expensive)that give diplomas.
  
  Thanks for any advice.

  Was in Info-Comm, its a IT course but for some reason its under engneering school. Therefore must take eng maths and eng fund, even though they have nothing to do with the course.Plenty of the lecturers and even the course manger himself said so.

  the course manager can help u too, talk to your course manager
  but if your attandance is full of absents, then it is quite hard for u to get in, since u din put in the effort

  Going into Ns first will benefit you in sense of mindset and responsiblity.
  But you'll not be able to get into OCS or Sispec.

  Eng maths and Eng Fund are the basic tools you need to help you in the eng course. I too did not realise their importance until I reach uni level.
  Do you have any friend who are good in both subjects who can help you?

  What have Engineering Mathematics and Engineering Fundamentals got to do with Info-communications? Isn't Info-communications somewhat akin to media studies?

  schools here try to equip students with everything they can.
  
  Are you sure that the next job he will have is an IT job and he will never ever change job?
  
  i got a firend who is in the eng course but in the end went to logistic line, but she was lucky cos she did a subject in tp for logistic and had a chance to enter.

  go NS 1st. 1 benefit is shorter serving period. while u are in army, find out if u are allowed to do part time studies. alternatively, u may want to flip the papers for overseas universities offering diploma/degree programs.

  agree
  
  going to NS may give you a sense of new direction, let you grow up emotionally or discover potentials.
  
  after that can still go back to poly
  
  meanwhile in NS you can study part time if you can spare the time
