No, it is not at all easy for Indian students to get into the National University of Singapore due to it's higly selective admission process.
The NUS acceptance rate stays at around 5 to 10% which is really low for it to be considered very easy to get in.
Indian students need to have good scores and they should be able to submit the actual results before Jun 2026 . Also, ACT or SAT is required.

As per the official website of NUS, Indian students are not required to have the Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE) Mains results with them. A strong rank surely boosts one's chances of getting in.
Instead of JEE, these students would be required to go through a standardized test like SAT or ACT and these grades are applicable for the NUS admissions.
