9 May 2026 - NOI Gold Award and NUS School of Computing Admission Letter

We were invited to attend NOI (National Olympiad in Informatics) 2026 Prize Giving Ceremony today at NUS as Javier is one of the award recipients for achieving Gold medal in this year's competition. This was his second consecutive year achieving Gold.

The event started with A/Prof Steven Halim sharing the programme for today.

After which was a welcome note by Vice Dean, Undergraduate Studies, A/Prof Kan Min Yen.

This year, there were 23 Gold medalists out of 199 students who officially qualified for the NOI 2026 Final Contest after the preliminary round held in February which attracted about 400 students from across secondary schools and junior colleges in Singapore.

As one of the Gold medalists, Javier then received the Gold medal award from Deputy Director, Mr Soh Cheow Kian, from MOE.

Since Javier is currently in JC1 and by getting Gold, he was also presented with the highly sought-after SoC Admission Letter, which grants him automatic conditional admission for undergraduate studies at NUS School of Computing.

He then received the SoC Admission Letter from SoC Vice Dean, A/Prof Kan.

After lunch, Javier and the other Gold medalists went on to participate in APIO (Asia-Pacific Informatics Olympiad), which is a level up from NOI in terms of difficulty. All the best, Javier!
