NTU Exam Schedule AY2026/2027 Semester 1: How to Find Your Exam Dates
AY2026/2027 Semester 1 exam dates are now available. If you are planning your modules for August 2026, you can check exam dates before you finalise your registration — which makes it much easier to avoid exam clashes and heavy exam stretches.
Go straight to the schedule: NTU Exam Schedule on NTUMods
What the NTUMods exam schedule shows
The exam schedule page lists every module with a scheduled exam for AY2026/2027 Semester 1. For each module you can see:
- The exam date
- The exam time slot
- Whether it is a central exam or a departmental arrangement
The data is sourced from NTU's official exam schedule and is updated when changes are made.
Not every module has a centrally scheduled exam. Project-based modules and some continuous assessment modules may not appear — their assessment happens through coursework rather than a formal exam sitting.
How to use it for module planning
Check for clashes before you bid
If you have two or more modules with exams scheduled on the same day or consecutive days, that is worth knowing before you commit. Back-to-back papers in a short window are manageable but increase revision pressure significantly.
Before STARS opens:
- List the modules you are planning to take
- Go to the exam schedule and look up each module
- Map out your exam week — how many papers, how close together, which days
- If two high-stakes modules land on the same day or consecutive days, consider whether that is a workload you are comfortable with
This is especially relevant for BDE planning. Your core modules are often fixed, but your BDE choice is flexible. If your core module exams are already clustered, choosing a BDE with an exam in the same stretch adds to the pressure. An exam-free BDE (project or attendance-based) might be a better fit. See Easy BDEs at NTU for a breakdown by assessment type.
Know the exam period in advance
The AY2026/2027 Semester 1 exam period typically falls in November–December 2026. Knowing which weeks are exam weeks helps you plan coursework deadlines, CCA commitments, and any part-time work around the intensive period.
Check the NTU academic calendar for official term dates alongside the exam schedule.
What to do if you have an exam clash
If two of your modules are scheduled at the same time or if you have three or more papers in one day, NTU has a formal process for handling exam clashes.
Contact your school's student office or check StudentLink for the official clash declaration process. Do not wait until exam week to raise it — clashes need to be flagged before the exam period.
If you discover a clash before bidding, the easier solution is to adjust your module selection so the clash does not happen at all.
Exam planning as part of module selection
Most students check exam dates as an afterthought — after bidding, after add/drop, once they are committed to their semester. The better time to check is before STARS opens, when you can still adjust your choices.
A good module plan accounts for:
- Core module exams (usually fixed — plan around them)
- BDE exam timing (flexible — use it as a selection criterion)
- Coursework deadlines (map project submissions relative to exam period)
- Consecutive exam days (three papers in three days is survivable; three papers in three consecutive mornings is less so)

Frequently asked questions
Where is the NTU exam schedule?
The exam schedule for AY2026/2027 Semester 1 is available at ntumods.com/exams. It shows exam dates and times for modules with centrally scheduled exams.
Does every module have a final exam?
No. Project-based modules, modules assessed entirely through coursework, and some BDEs do not have a centrally scheduled exam. These will not appear in the exam schedule. Check the module details on NTUMods for the assessment breakdown.
What if my exams clash?
Raise the clash with your school's student office or through StudentLink before the exam period. Do not wait until the day of. If you are still in module planning, the simplest fix is to adjust which modules you register for.
Can I see exam dates before I register for modules?
Yes — that is exactly what the exam schedule is for. Check it before STARS bidding to build your semester around the exam period, not after.
