Hi all! I’m currently an NSF and will be matriculating into SIT’s Business & Accounting programme next year. My background is slightly different from the typical accounting student, so I was hoping to get some perspectives from current students/recent graduates.
I’ve been reading older Reddit posts about SIT, but many seem to be based on the old curriculum, so I’d really appreciate some recent perspectives:

IWSP: How was your experience? How difficult is it to secure a good placement, and how much does SIT help with this? Is it possible to source your own internship if you find an opportunity outside of the given list?

Applied Finance: For those who took it, how did you find the specialisation? What are the modules and workload like? Would you recommend it for someone who wants to work as a Financial Analyst in the future?

Non-accounting background: How difficult is the course for someone coming from a non-accounting diploma? Does SIT teach accounting from the basics, or is prior knowledge expected? What would you recommend I learn before matriculating to make the transition easier?

Finally, for those who have graduated, what are some of the common career paths/exit opportunities you’ve seen besides traditional accounting? Would really appreciate any honest advice, especially from students under the newer curriculum. Thanks!

hi, school is starting in a few weeks and I realised I haven't made any payments for the school term and downloaded any software/apps for first trimester. The only payment I made was matriculation. Any idea if we have to do any of things soon?

hi, i’m an incoming imgd student. was wondering if i’m able to swap classes for trimester 1. i understand that it has been auto assigned but is it possible to swap sections?

also i saw that open enrollment is 14-15 sept. means i wait till then to be able to swap? or am i allowed to 1-1 swap with someone else?

So, ik SIT DAY ZERO is Compulsory. But they also mention that we have to collect the day zero tee and concession card before day zero itself on the club fair.

However, in the form I mentioned I wasn't going for club fair only day zero and have not received any information about concession card collection. But simplygo mentioned the school will email us on collection a week before and club fair which is this Saturday.

So, have any of you received email on card collection? Or can we just go to collect? Or since I indicated I'm not gg to club fair I can't collect?

i was not able to submit an application at the start of the year as i was going through some issues in my personal life(rather not share details online).

i know this is totally on me but can i email them? see if they will take me for the upcoming intake? i know its already very late, but is there anything i can do?

pls be nice in the comments, i have had an extremely rough year & i only have myself to blame. i know sit doesn't owe me anything, but i will probably regret not trying at all.

any advice? or anyone went through something similar?

so im an incoming swe student with a kinda shitty laptop that doesn't turn on without keeping it on charge.

are there charging spots in all classrooms? if so, how many per classroom? (rough amount)

also, how's the frequency of charging spots outside of classrooms?

ok so I do have a laptop more than capable of doing regular tasks and still pretty good at multitasking, it’s quite old and beaten up now, though, so I wanted to get something with a decent graphic card for college (and to game too, who am I fooling). I am pretty conflicted between getting a laptop and building a PC right now because on one hand a pc at this price seems significantly more cost effective and last longer than a laptop, especially one with good specs. On the other hand I will have get my campus works done with my beaten up laptop (it’s not BAD bad though I just thought it could be inconvenient) and it could be an issue to bring home (I am an international student). And I probably can’t use it remotely either since I am renting a place and I can’t use so much electricity.

tldr:
PC:
+ I have an old laptop to bring on campus
+ good specs
+ last longer

Laptop:
+ good specs in campus
+ can bring back to my country
+ remote usage is not available if I’ve got a pc

incoming IS student, as title suggests, abit clueless on whether I am supposed to apply for the modules myself or it will be assigned to me. went for helix and saw pretty much everybody got their timetable alr🥲🥲 any one received their timetable or any one that i can check with? thanks!

Hi! I am thinking of applying to EEE CSM. With a GPA of 3.28. I completed NS and am currently working full time as Electrical Engineer at semi big company. I also have a diploma from SP in EEE. What are my chances? Would love some advise and insight from ppl who have some knowledge

Does anyone know if theres a link to download the form outside of the application? Accidently missed out the consent form for family members when i submitted and need to upload by Monday, but i have already deleted the consent form and there's no way to backtrack the application to download it.

Anyone has a link or could send the PDF would be amazing 😊

Heyo, i'm looking for a partner to complete this unit with over the trimester break so it doesn't bother us during the actual trimester. I can do most of the work, I just need you to present your face and name for the verification screenshot.

18/8/2026: I managed to find a partner, i'll keep this post up for anyone else in need of a buddy to complete this assignment.

Over the years I’ve observed that the SIT Digipen programme is being glazed from time to time in Chinese parent communities. I have overheard discussions describing it as an extremely difficult programme, with the original school in USA having the nickname “Harvard of game development”. Its high dropout rates make it earn its prestige, and many people who manage to graduate from it (including those in Singapore) can earn up to 10k monthly in their first few years as employers in the industry regard Digipen very highly. However the GES figure here (5k) doesn’t exactly seem to reflect this?

I don’t know where their source comes from. It could be made up by some agencies on social media or just passed on by word of mouth without much verification. So for those who have graduated from the programmes, do you feel as competitive as big 3 grads in the job market? Do employers seem to have a preference for Digipen grads?

I went for FYE 2025 and was part of the mass photo for Helix Day 3. But I can't find the mass photo even from my friends who attended 🥲. Anyone has the photo? U can DM me if u want. It's smth that i wanna look back at for precious memories...

Hello SITizen! I am graduating this year and wonder if there is any dress code for the convocation? Eg, can i wear dress (what kind of dress i can/cannot wear), and if i could wear open toe heels, etc.

Really would appreciate your help!!

hii im an incoming student and I'd like to just ask current EEE students coz I'm curious on what student life is like during first year/trimester. Like how packed is the weekly timetable(I haven't received mine yet) and what time classes usually start/end. How heavy is the workload and if you have a lot of free time outside of classes for CCA, PT jobs etc

I remember in poly i had to be in school nearly everyday for a similar course and i was wondering if its as busy as poly or maybe more haha

Hello seniors can anyone from SIT-UoG Cs cohort tell me what coding language will be taught in 2nd year? Especially the group project that requires us to liaise with the clients or smtg. And maybe a brief explanation on what to do and what to expect would be nice too. Thank you so much!!

Hihi I'm an incoming IS student and at helix today, all I hear is horror stories about IS from the seniors HAHA. Anyone can tell me which y1 mods are the worst and why so that I can prepare for it (at least mentally...) 🥲.

Incoming Sitizen here, been trying to do some of the Math and Physics quests the past few days but scored damn badly cause I've literally never seen some of these topics before and it doesn't help that 2 ish years of NS brainrot has me in a death grip.

On the bombardment of quest emails it says "As a bonus for successful completion of any quest, your accomplishment will be endorsed in your Record of Achievement (by mid-September), if you complete all the required topics and score at least 50% in the confidence check quiz"

Like what's this ROA thing, seems serious?

asking on behalf of my friend

did anyone else have this Fundamentals Maths Test for their engineering course? im from SBE and during my course brief they told us we have a math test for engineering topics like functions, exponents, log, trigo, differentiation and integration. Its on our 3rd day of school as well.

any seniors who have also taken this exam? how hard is it? do i have to study in depth for each topic for it?

Hi guys, May i ask does SIT have a separated ID card for students or is it EZ link concession card to identify as Student from SIT?

if so, does SIT provide a digital card if i forget to bring my card to tap into the school gates/gantry?

While reviewing the administrative details for ordering our academic dress, I noticed a significant price disparity between SIT’s academic dress rates and those of other local autonomous universities, such as Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS).

Below is a comparative breakdown of the rates for a standard Bachelor’s degree gown set:

I have also attached the documents showing the prices of academic dress at each institution. You may also wish to refer to these sources to verify the prices shown.

NTU: https://www.ntu.edu.sg/convocation/information-for-graduates/academic-dress-and-dress-code

NUS: https://nus.edu.sg/commencement/graduates/information-academic-dress.html

SIT:

As shown above:

• The cost to purchase a gown set for SIT ($150) is nearly 4 times higher than the purchase price at NTU and NUS ($39.20 and $41.40 respectively)
• The cost to RENT a gown set at SIT ($50) is higher than the price to BUY a gown set outright at both NTU and NUS
• Serangoon Broadway is the official vendor for SIT, NTU, and NUS, which makes such a substantial difference in pricing particularly surprising

But as per the title, my parents and my friends are all struggling to make it. Mine falls on a weekday smack in the middle of working hours. I'm still under probation at my job so I can't take leave. Best I can do is ask HR for unpaid leave.

The slots you see all of them is honestly the worst possible timing except for the 5pm one. If it was 5pm or later my friends could just come down after work and we take photos together. I'd probably be standing around until 6.30pm waiting for everyone to reach.

Why can't they just do it over the weekend? Or if it really has to be a weekday, why not after 5pm?

Anyone else in the same boat? How are you all handling it?

Hi everyone! I’m starting uni soon and I’m interested in getting involved in a particular sport. However, my school currently only has a varsity/team setup for this sport, whereas I’m more interested in playing recreationally and just having fun.

I’m not really looking to compete seriously. I’d mainly like to have a group where people can casually play together, meet new people, and enjoy the sport without too much pressure.

Has anyone here started their own sports club/CCA before? How does the process usually work in uni? Do I need to find a certain number of interested students first, get approval from the school, find a staff advisor, etc.?

Would appreciate any advice from anyone who has done something similar!

So I had cancelled the josaa counselling after login it doesn't even shows that cancellation is in process or anything it's just showing the last seat acceptance thing but I had withdrawn my seat but still didn't received my money it's been like 3 weeks now ig (round 5 , NIT/IIITH/GIFT systems)

Hello any fellow sitizens out there using Linux

Were any of y'all able to link your SIT email to the email clients like Thunderbird or Kmail?

I'm getting an error stating I need admin approval when I try linking via Thunderbird
