JUPAS – The Mechanism

Role of participating institutes

Determine the “criteria for selection”

& “position for participants of each programme”

Conduct “Interviews” & “Admission tests”

Between Mar 14 – Apr 14 & Post DSE period

Make “offer”

Role of JUPAS To proceed the matching process

1. Each of your selected programmes will give you a “Rating” in accordance with its criteria for selection, given by the participating institutes.

2. Such rating will then determine your position

in the “merit order list” of each

programme of your choices.

How JUPAS works?

3. 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.

How JUPAS works?

Conclusion – Successful admission?

Depends on your “relative competitiveness” !

e.g. the more people achieve 3322 2 or above, the higher the cut-off points for general degree admission

Depends on how you place your choices “AFTER” the release of HKDSE

e.g. marginally over the cut-off points place less competitive courses / universities up front?

Chances for interviews / admission tests?

NOT by LUCK!!

“Its better to DECLINE offers afterwards,

than not to FIGHT for them beforehand!”
