Under the Enlistment Act, all male Singaporean citizens and permanent residents are liable to serve National Service (NS) upon reaching 18 years of age.

MINDEF exercises flexibility by granting deferment from full-time NS for those pursuing full-time studies up to G.C.E �?A’ levels, polytechnic diploma or their equivalent before enlisting them for NS. Hence, NS-liable males are enlisted at the earliest opportunity after turning 18 or when they have finished such courses, whichever is later. Students will be granted deferment to pursue full-time courses at private institutions, not leading to a degree qualification, if you are able to commence the course before you turn 18 years old.
