Will I be granted deferment for full-time National Service (NS) for overseas studies?
You may be granted deferment to pursue full-time overseas studies (up to the GCE 'A' Level, polytechnic diploma or their equivalent qualifications) if you are younger than 19 years old (for Secondary 4 students) or 20 years old (for Secondary 5 and ITE students) as at 1 January of the year you commence your course. You may refer to the CMPB website for more information for overseas pre-enlistees.
