Students who did not take Higher Mother Tongue at O-Levels must take H1 MTL.
Students who have obtained at least D7 in the O-Level Higher Mother Tongue examination would have met the minimum requirement for University Admission.
However, students who wish to improve their MTL grade can continue to take Higher 1 MTL and sit for the exam at the end of JC1.
The H1 MTL grade will be included in the computation of UAS for admission to local universities and for admission to MTL-related courses if the applicant has done well in it. Please refer to the university websites for more information.

There is no disadvantage to being a JAE student in VJC. In fact, JAE students form the majority in VJC (more than 60%). JC1 students (IP & JAE) will choose their subject combinations and start their academic lessons only after the JAE students report. There is no separation of classes either - Victorians are put in mixed classes regardless of background. All Victorians have equal opportunity for leadership and equal access to our wide range of programmes and awards.
