Please make sure that you enter the correct study programme you wish to choose. If by mistake you enter another programme, you will be considered for admission to that other programme.

You are requested to list your choices in order of preference. The JUPAS scheme is designed to assist you in obtaining the best offer possible according to your interests as represented by the order of your preferences and your qualifications.

Do the institutions know the order of my programme choices?

NO. The JUPAS computer system is designed to ensure that the information on actual choices of each applicant are not revealed to institutions until after the announcement of the Main Round Offer results.

The institutions only have a general idea of how you rank your programme choices. They do not have access to your actual rank list. Your preferences are made known to the institutions in the form of 5 bands as follows:

Within each Band, programme choices are made known to the institutions in numerical order without regard to the actual choice order. For example, if you have chosen the following programmes as your Band A choices:

When and how can I update my programme choices after my application submission?

What will happen if an institution cancels / makes amendments to any of its study programmes?

Institutions will make every effort to finalize their study programmes to be offered before applications for admission are invited. However, unforeseen circumstances have been known to occur which prevented an institution from maintaining programmes unchanged. If you are affected by such an occurrence, you will be informed by the JUPAS Office and / or the institution(s) concerned directly.
