These days it is very competitive due to massive drop in vacancies ever since school mergers few years ago. Most new teachers these days have good results, leadership in cca and various internship experiences. Those accepted these days usually have excellent portfolios. 5-10 years back it ain't so competitive.

I really hope nie give me a chance at interview haha, their bsa/bsc essay never really asked candidates to explain why they wanna be a teacher.

No I am not. I also wanted to teach but was rejected many times. I have done tutoring too, but these days it doesn't stand out anymore. They have different expectations (and much higher) today when recruiting

You applied for NTU-NIE or PGDE? I am considering PGDE becos my current grades aren't fantastic.

Anyways a bit sianz max, seeing the teachers i met in school some have temper issues and some simply dont give a **** about teaching sia. We're born in the wrong times to become a teacher.

I applied for PGDE. Both are equally competitive. In fact several of my friends with good honours couldn't get in too. Hence can see their expectations is really high today
