Our History
Since 1960s, Ngee Ann Polytechnic has offered quality
education. There is not much to write about concerning our history, just that
the college started out as a technical college at Tank Road, the polyclinic had
undergone several phrases of upgrading and expansion to meet the new demands of
the industry.
The campus is spread over 35.4 hectares of suburban land at

rapid transit train and then taking a connecting feeder bus service.
There are also numerous shopping centers, mega malls,
entertainment complexes in our area. The campus is also close to the National
