year to ensure that they are medically fit to take the IPPT. Starting from 1 September 2014, NSmen are allowed to attempt and pass the IPPT throughout the entire one-year IPPT window instead of only within the first nine months. They could also complete their 10-session IPPT Preparatory Training or 20-session Remedial Training within the one-year IPPT window as well, instead of only within the last three months. The monetary incentives for achieving Gold, Silver and Pass with Incentive standards have also been increased. NSmen who do not attempt their IPPT are subject to disciplinary action, in addition to having to complete 20 sessions of Remedial Training in their next IPPT window unless they pass the IPPT before the 20 sessions are up. NSmen who fail to complete the 20-session Remedial Training face disciplinary action too.
