Results of Application

Admission to the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions (the Institutions) is on a competitive basis, as the number of available places is generally fewer than the number of eligible applicants.  Therefore, meeting the minimum entrance requirements of the Institutions and their respective programme requirements does not guarantee admission.

In determining applicants' positions in the respective merit order lists, institutions' programmes will consider NOT ONLY the HKDSE Examination results, but also other aspects (e.g. performance in interviews and / or assessments, banding of programme choices, HKDSE Examination results of other applicants in the same year, the number of applicants applying, and any additional information provided by applicants in their JUPAS accounts).

Applicants are also reminded to read the section on Disqualification and Other Penalties for Making False Statements / Omissions.

Each programme offered by the Institutions will assign a rating to eligible applicants who have selected the programme based on its own selection criteria.  This rating determines the applicants' positions in each merit order list of their programme choices.

JUPAS computer system will perform the "iteration process", which matches applicants' positions in the merit order list of each programme on applicants' confirmed programme choice lists with the order of preferences they have assigned to their programme choices.  Applicants will be given an offer of the highest priority on their lists for which they have met the required rating.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to refer to the Demonstration on the Iteration Process for more information.

The role of the JUPAS Office is solely to facilitate the administration of the applications process.  The determination of applicants' suitability for admission is solely the decisions of the Institutions, and is independent of the JUPAS Office.  Enquiries regarding the institutions' decisions on admissions should be directed to the respective institutions.
