Separate minimum eligibility from historical ranges
For the 2026 JAE polytechnic route, MOE lists a net ELR2B2 limit of 26, except Nursing at 28, alongside course-specific minimum requirements. Relevant-subject groups differ by aggregate type. These are 2026 rules, not a prediction of 2027 or 2028 rules.
Use a historical range only with its year and aggregate type. The prior intake’s lowest and highest net scores do not guarantee the next intake’s posting result.

MOE says 2027 JAE details will be updated by October 2026. Check the new publication before applying; this guide does not assume its dates or requirements.
2028 onward · SEC cohort
MOE has announced PSE from 2028, following the first SEC examination in 2027. Use the rules for your admission year; do not carry older JAE calculations forward.
