Suhaimi Shamsudin, 24, who is appealing against the sentence, pleaded guilty in January to two counts of oral sex with the minor at Housing Board staircase landings in October 2012.
Six other charges, including committing an obscene act, were considered during his sentencing.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz had told the court that Suhaimi, who was a Nanyang Technological University student, and the minor met through a mobile applications in early October 2012.
