Pre-Enlistee IPPT and Body Mass Index
Other than your Physical Employment Standard (PES), your Pre-Enlistee Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) scores and Body Mass Index (BMI) will play a part in the type and duration of the basic training you will go through as a recruit in each of the uniformed Services you could be assigned to (Singapore Armed Forces, Singapore Civil Defence Force or Singapore Police Force) for your full-time National Service (NS).
PES A or B1
If you are medically graded PES A or B1, you will enjoy an 8-week reduction in your full-time NS duration, should you attain 61 points or more from the three Pre-Enlistee IPPT stations (with a minimum of 1 point from each station).
You will need to attain this IPPT result at least two weeks before the Physical Training Phase (PTP) enlistment in order to qualify for direct basic training. You will then enlist later into the next available basic training intake. Otherwise, you are required to undergo the 8-week PTP.
Other PES B, C or E
You are not required to take the Pre-Enlistee IPPT as you go through a modified basic training programme which does not have the component of PTP. Thus, you do not qualify for the 8-week reduction in your full-time NS duration.
