Rechecking and Remarking of HKDSE Examination Results

Request for Reconsideration of Application Based on Upgraded HKDSE Examination Results on Subject Levels / Grades after Rechecking and Remarking

Eligibility

Applicants whose HKDSE Examination results have been upgraded on subject levels / grades after rechecking and remarking (RR results) are eligible to submit requests for reconsideration of their applications based on RR results (Reconsideration) WITH or WITHOUT modifications of their programme choices, regardless of whether they have been given or have accepted their Main Round offers.

Applicants who receive revised HKDSE Examination results on subject levels / grades from the HKEAA, following the official release of results, must follow the prescribed procedures and timeline for the requests for Reconsideration.  This applies regardless of whether the applicants have submitted modifications of programme choices during the period 16 July – 18 July 2026*.

Eligible applicants submitting requests for Reconsideration can be assured that they will NOT be disadvantaged in any respect.  They will be offered admission to the programmes concerned, regardless of whether the quotas of those programmes have already been filled, if:

  1. they fulfil all the necessary entrance requirements of the respective programmes; and

  2. their new positions on the respective merit order lists (taking into account their RR results, banding of programme choices, interview performance (if applicable), and other factors) are higher than the Main Round cut-off points (i.e. the last applicant admitted) of the respective programmes.

Eligible applicants who are already satisfied with their Main Round offers and / or do not wish to be reconsidered for "better" offers NEED NOT submit requests for Reconsideration.

As email is one of the channels that the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will use to contact applicants, applicants must ensure that the setting of their personal email accounts will not filter out or place such correspondence in the trash / junk / spam folders.

^ Emails and SMS are delivered via third party network providers and therefore the JUPAS Office is not responsible for any delay, loss, transfer, amendment or damage arising from the transmission process via third party network providers.

Should there be any discrepancies between information contained in emails and SMS and applicants' JUPAS accounts, the information contained in the latter (i.e. the JUPAS accounts) shall prevail.

Applicants are strongly advised to log in to their JUPAS accounts to double-check the related information.

Since important messages and correspondence from the JUPAS Office, the 9 JUPAS participating-institutions and the SSSDP institutions will be sent via applicants' mobile phone numbers and / or mailing addresses, applicants SHOULD NEVER share their mobile phone numbers or mailing addresses with other applicants in order to protect any information related to their JUPAS applications.

 SMS will be sent with the Registered SMS Sender ID of #JUPAS to a valid Hong Kong mobile phone number.
