Important Reminder

According to the CSSPS guidelines, placement will be based on candidates’ aggregates as follows:
- Aggregate 6–10: Eligible for placement in their first-choice school
- Aggregate 11–19: Eligible for second-choice school
- Aggregate 20–29: Likely to be placed in their third or fourth-choice school
- Aggregate 30–35: Directed to their fifth-choice school
- Above 35: Required to use the self-placement module
