Applications will be evaluated against the respective criteria of the projects they have identified in their preference selections. 

Programming-related projects will typically require proficiency in at least one programming language. Apart from technical skills, relevant knowledge and/or experience related to the project will also be considered. You can check out the complete list of projects and the specific eligibility criteria here. 

The shortlisting phase comprises two stages:  

 
 
Stage 1: Technical & Cognitive Assessments 

There will be several assessments that you will take based on the projects you are shortlisted for. Applicants who select non-coding related projects will not be required to take the technical assessment. 

Stage 2: Interviews 

Shortlisted applicants who successfully passed the technical assessments will be invited to attend interview sessions with the organisations. Organisations will reach out to relevant applicants directly for interview arrangements. The organisations you applied to may administer additional technical assessments during this phase. If the organisation decides to proceed with the applicant, there will be a final round of interview with SGInnovate before any final offers are made.  

We review all complete applications every week, but only shortlisted applicants will be contacted via email. ​ ​

A complete application is one with all necessary documents uploaded and a completed General Reasoning Test and/or HackerRank Test. Delaying your completion of the above tests will affect the time at which your applications are reviewed by SGInnovate. ​ ​

We will contact shortlisted applicants within a month's time. ​​ ​

Applicants can check the progress of their application via the Deep Tech Central platform where they submitted the application.

If your application is shortlisted, you will be invited for an interview. Read​ up on the startup you wish to work with to understand their mission and​ recent projects. ​

Before the interview, all roles require candidates to take online assessments,​ which may include:​

• General Reasoning Test (GRT)
• HackerRank (if applicable) – For positions that require coding knowledge ​

Please check your email regularly for updates or next steps.​​
