Will I be admitted as long as I have satisfied the minimum entrance requirements of a programme?
Admission to the participating-institutions is on a competitive basis, since the number of places available is normally far less than the number of eligible applicants. In this regard, satisfying the minimum entrance requirements of a participating-institution or a programme does not therefore guarantee admission.
Your HKCEE and HKALE grades alone do not determine whether you will enter an institution of your choice. Other factors come into consideration such as information contained in your application form, and for some programmes, performance in interview(s) and / or test(s), banding of programme choices, overall grades achieved by other applicants in the current year, and the number of applicants applying to the programme, etc. It is therefore not accurate to only compare grades between applicants.
How are offers made?
Each programme will give you a rating in accordance with its criteria for selection. Such rating will determine your position in the merit order list of each programme of your choice. The computer system will match (the "iteration process") the order of preference you have assigned to the study programmes of your choice with the position you have been placed in each merit order list of these programmes. You will then be made an offer of the highest priority on your programme list for which you have the required rating.
A flash demo which briefly describes the iteration process can be downloaded from the section Useful Material.
The role of the JUPAS Office is solely to facilitate the administration of the admissions process. Determination of applicants' suitability for admission is entirely the decisions of the JUPAS participating-institutions and is entirely independent of the JUPAS Office. Enquiries on the participating-institutions’ decisions should be directed towards the institutions concerned.
