NTU Exam Timetable, Seating Arrangement and Past Year Papers: Where to Find Each
Exam information at Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) is spread across several systems. This guide lists when each item is released and where to find it, using NTU’s own Schedule of Key Academic Activities and library pages.
Quick summary: NTU releases the exam timetable in mid May (Semester 1) and mid November (Semester 2). Seating arrangements come out 2 weeks before exams start. Past year papers are on the NTU Library exam question papers site, which needs your NTU email login.
When is the NTU exam timetable released?
| Activity | Semester 1 | Semester 2 | Special Term |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release of examination timetable | Mid May | Mid November | Mid March |
| Release of examination seating arrangements | 2 weeks before examinations start | 2 weeks before examinations start | 2 weeks before examinations start |
| Registration of calculators | Varies by programme | Varies by programme | Varies by programme |
The timetable is released long before the semester ends so that you can plan around it. For calculator registration, NTU advises checking the details for your programme at least 4 weeks before examinations begin.
You do not have to wait for the official release to plan. The NTUMods exam schedule shows exam dates for modules with a centrally scheduled exam, so you can check for clashes before you register. See NTU Exam Schedule AY2026/2027 for how to use it, and add the modules to the timetable planner to see classes and exams in one place.
Where to find your exam seating arrangement
NTU releases seating arrangements 2 weeks before the examination period starts. The finalised exam timetable with seat information is published through NTU’s official examination page, and the link is given on NTU’s exam schedule. Check it as soon as the 2-week mark passes, because venues can change between modules and sessions.
How to get NTU past year exam papers
- Open the NTU Library exam question papers site. NTU Library notes that past year papers have moved to a new platform hosted on SharePoint.
- Sign in with your NTU email account.
- Search for your module and download the papers you need.
Access is limited to currently enrolled students and staff, so you will not be able to open the site once you have graduated. Not every module has papers available. Some modules use continuous assessment only, and a paper that appears may be from an older syllabus, so confirm the coverage with your module coordinator.
How to find your exam venue
Exam venues are spread across campus, and NTU lists more than 50 examination venues with their locations. Use NTU Maps to look up the building and floor, and plan your route before exam day.
Before exam day
- Check your seat and venue in the finalised timetable.
- Confirm your calculator is registered if your programme requires it.
- Check what your module allows in the exam, since rules differ by module.
