<p>The <b>Joint University Programmes Admissions System</b> (<a href="Traditional_Chinese_characters" title="Traditional Chinese characters">Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh-Hant">大學聯合招生辦法</span>), commonly known as <b>JUPAS</b> (<span lang="zh-Hant">聯招</span>), is a centralised admissions system for full-time undergraduate programmes in <a href="Hong_Kong" title="Hong Kong">Hong Kong</a>. As of the 2025 admission cycle, JUPAS covers all government-funded degrees and sub-degree programmes offered by institutions under the <a href="University_Grants_Committee_(Hong_Kong)" title="University Grants Committee (Hong Kong)">University Grants Committee</a> (UGC), as well as most other full-time degree programmes provided by higher education <a href="List_of_universities_in_Hong_Kong" class="mw-redirect" title="List of universities in Hong Kong">institutions in Hong Kong</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Before the introduction of the Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) in 1990, tertiary education institutions in Hong Kong had independent admission processes, and students had to take one of two separate entrance examinations. The <a href="Hong_Kong_Advanced_Level_Examination" title="Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination">Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination</a> (HKALE), designed for a three-year tertiary education curriculum, was primarily used by the <a href="University_of_Hong_Kong" title="University of Hong Kong">University of Hong Kong</a> (HKU). Meanwhile, the <a href="Hong_Kong_Higher_Level_Examination" title="Hong Kong Higher Level Examination">Hong Kong Higher Level Examination</a> (HKHLE), designed for a four-year tertiary education curriculum, was mainly used by <a href="The_Chinese_University_of_Hong_Kong" class="mw-redirect" title="The Chinese University of Hong Kong">The Chinese University of Hong Kong</a> (CUHK).

</p><p>To reduce students' pressure from managing two different examinations and admission procedures, the <a href="University_Grants_Committee_(Hong_Kong)" title="University Grants Committee (Hong Kong)">University Grants Committee</a> (UGC) established JUPAS to centralise the admissions processes of five institutions: HKU, CUHK, <a href="City_University_of_Hong_Kong" title="City University of Hong Kong">City Polytechnic of Hong Kong</a>, <a href="The_Hong_Kong_Polytechnic_University" class="mw-redirect" title="The Hong Kong Polytechnic University">The Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute</a>, and <a href="Hong_Kong_Baptist_University" title="Hong Kong Baptist University">Hong Kong Baptist University</a>. The UGC also designated the HKALE as the standardised benchmark examination, leading to the discontinuation of the HKHLE in 1992, two years after JUPAS was introduced.

</p><p>Institutions established after JUPAS was launched and directly under the UGC, including the <a href="Hong_Kong_University_of_Science_and_Technology" title="Hong Kong University of Science and Technology">Hong Kong University of Science and Technology</a> (HKUST), <a href="The_Hong_Kong_Institute_of_Education" class="mw-redirect" title="The Hong Kong Institute of Education">The Hong Kong Institute of Education</a> (now The Education University of Hong Kong), and <a href="Lingnan_University_(Hong_Kong)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lingnan University (Hong Kong)">Lingnan University</a>, joined the scheme in 1991, 1996, and 1999, respectively.

</p><p>As an alternative for students who wished to pursue undergraduate education but faced challenges due to JUPAS’s high competitiveness, all government-funded sub-degree programmes offered by JUPAS member institutions were incorporated into the system from the 2000 admission cycle.

</p><p>In the 2006 admission cycle, the <a href="Open_University_of_Hong_Kong" class="mw-redirect" title="Open University of Hong Kong">Open University of Hong Kong</a> (now Hong Kong Metropolitan University), which offered self-financed degree programmes, also joined JUPAS. The <a href="Hong_Kong_Shue_Yan_University" title="Hong Kong Shue Yan University">Hong Kong Shue Yan University</a> was invited to participate but declined, opting to maintain an independent admissions process.

</p><p>As part of <a href="334_Scheme" title="334 Scheme">Hong Kong’s education reform</a>, the HKALE was phased out in 2012, though retakes were allowed in 2013. It was replaced by the <a href="Hong_Kong_Diploma_of_Secondary_Education" title="Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education">Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education</a> (HKDSE), which became the new standard university entrance examination. The UGC continued to adopt JUPAS as the admissions system for its member institutions, and in the 2011 admission cycle, JUPAS began accepting applications from students taking the HKDSE.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Benchmark_examinations">Benchmark examinations</h2></div>

<p>Because JUPAS is a system rather than an entrance examination or an admissions process, it collects students' academic results for reference by admissions personnel in member institutions. In theory, all recognised international academic examinations are considered for admission into JUPAS, although the <a href="Hong_Kong_Advanced_Level_Examination" title="Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination">Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination</a> (HKALE) and/or the <a href="Hong_Kong_Diploma_of_Secondary_Education" title="Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education">Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education</a> (HKDSE, launched in the academic year 2011) are mandatory for every student. Applicants must submit a valid HKALE or HKDSE result obtained in the same or preceding year in which they apply for JUPAS. These examination results are generally regarded as the most important factor for admission to nearly all programmes, except under the now-defunct <a href="Early_Admissions_Scheme_(Hong_Kong)" title="Early Admissions Scheme (Hong Kong)">Early Admissions Scheme</a>.

</p><p>Before the introduction of the HKDSE, the <a href="Hong_Kong_Certificate_of_Education_Examination" title="Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination">Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination</a> (HKCEE) was taken by almost every student, as nearly all candidates who sat for the HKALE also took the HKCEE. HKCEE results were typically considered an important factor in admissions and were usually required. In addition to the aforementioned examinations, two international English benchmark examinations—the <a href="TOEFL" class="mw-redirect" title="TOEFL">TOEFL</a> and the <a href="IELTS" class="mw-redirect" title="IELTS">IELTS</a>—play a significant role in certain circumstances, including serving as a minimum admission requirement; however, in most cases, they are not essential.

<p>Applicants under JUPAS are not permitted to apply directly to member institutions for any undergraduate programme that is available through the system. In such cases, JUPAS applications take priority, and any direct applications are automatically voided. However, this restriction does not apply to programmes that are not offered through JUPAS.

</p><p>Programmes provided by institutions that are not associated with JUPAS (for example, <a href="Hong_Kong_Shue_Yan_University" title="Hong Kong Shue Yan University">Hong Kong Shue Yan University</a> or community colleges affiliated with UGC-funded institutions) are managed independently, and applicants must apply directly to the relevant institution.

</p><p>Non-Form 6 students who are not currently enrolled in JUPAS-provided degree programmes, including those studying in JUPAS non-degree programmes, may apply provided they have met the HKDSE requirement or will participate in the HKDSE in the same academic year to meet the requirement. Students in secondary schools approved by the <a href="Education_Bureau" title="Education Bureau">Education Bureau</a> are eligible to apply for the above programmes only through JUPAS.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Application_process">Application process</h2></div>

<p>Applicants through JUPAS can select up to 20 programme choices offered by the nine local institutes via the online portal, provided they satisfy the prerequisites. The application form is subdivided into several bandings—namely, bands A, B, C, D, and E. Ranking choices in different bands affects the scoring process in JUPAS; thus, placing a programme higher in the priority list generally increases the chance of admission. Prior to the release of admission results, only the bandings, and not the specific order of choices, are disclosed to the educational institutions.

</p><p>In 2011, the number of programme choices available to students sitting the HKDSE was reduced from 25 to 20. However, students may replace up to five of their choices after the release of their HKDSE results.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Selection_process">Selection process</h2></div>

<p>Every programme offered under JUPAS compiles a "Merit order list" of its applicants based on academic performance, interview performance, and extracurricular activities. The "Merit order list" and the applicants’ rank list are then entered into a match-making process that uses an elimination method, ensuring that each applicant is allocated to the programme they most prefer and for which they are qualified.

</p><p>Most programmes consider only academic performance when creating the "Merit order list." In most cases, both HKALE and HKCEE results are taken into account. Although performance in the HKALE remains the most important admission factor, some universities weight HKCEE results more heavily—assigning them 40% or 50% of the overall academic performance—rather than the usual 0–20%. Due to the cancellation of fine grades in both the HKCEE and HKALE, the HKCEE becomes a crucial factor in determining admission for students whose scores are near the cutoff, as it is more challenging to differentiate performance with only five passing ranks per subject.

</p><p>Furthermore, some programmes place greater emphasis on specific subjects. For instance, many commercial subjects double or even triple-count the HKALE Use of English and HKCEE English results when calculating admission scores.

</p><p>The first-round admission results are traditionally released on the Wednesday preceding the week in which the HKCEE results are announced, and the entire admission process continues until late August—sometimes as late as one week before certain member institutions commence their first semester.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Difficulty">Difficulty</h2></div>

<p>Due to the high difficulty of the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) and the fixed quota of university places in recent years, JUPAS has been regarded as one of the most competitive university application schemes in the world. Media and scholars have claimed that it is second only to China’s <a href="National_Higher_Education_Entrance_Examination" class="mw-redirect" title="National Higher Education Entrance Examination">National Higher Education Entrance Examination</a>. More than 30% of applicants meeting the minimum Degree Programme requirement have not received an offer for any degree-level programme through JUPAS.

</p><p>The admission rate dropped dramatically in the 2012 intake. Under the <a href="334_Scheme" title="334 Scheme">334 Scheme</a>, most secondary school students become eligible to sit for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE)—and therefore apply for JUPAS—which has led to a substantial increase in the number of applicants. (Not every student is eligible to apply for the HKALE due to HKCEE requirements for non-mature candidates.)

</p><p>In comparison with direct entry from sub-degree programmes, JUPAS has a significantly higher entrance rate. As the system is open to students who are not already enrolled in full-time programmes under JUPAS, some sub-degree students have opted to retake certain subjects to improve their chances of gaining admission to government-funded degree programmes.

</p><p>The table below compares the number of school candidates achieving the minimum Degree Programme requirement with the number of JUPAS Degree Programme intakes. The actual percentages may vary slightly due to the admission of non-school HKALE/HKDSE candidates, candidates who did not accept their Main Round offer following a successful HKALE appeal (resulting in a better offer), or candidates who declined their offer.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sub-systems">Sub-systems</h2></div>

<p>In addition to the main selection scheme, JUPAS offers several additional sub-systems and schemes for candidates who may not excel academically but have demonstrated strengths or specific needs in other areas.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sub-system_for_applicants_with_a_disability">Sub-system for applicants with a disability</h3></div>

<p>Applicants with any of the following disabilities may apply through this sub-system:

</p>

<ul><li>Physical handicapped</li>

<li>Hearing impairment</li>

<li>Visual impairment</li>

<li>Visceral disability</li>

<li>Speech impairment</li>

<li><a href="Autism" title="Autism">Autism</a></li>

<li>Mental illness</li></ul>

<p>This sub-system aims to inform applicants at an early stage of the special assistance and facilities that institutions can provide upon admission. Applicants may receive separate offers through this sub-system.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sub-system_for_school_principal's_nominations">Sub-system for school principal's nominations</h3></div>

<p>Each local secondary school principal may nominate up to three students from their school. Nominees must have outstanding achievements in non-academic areas, such as sports, music, social services, or other cultural activities, or have demonstrated leadership abilities. The goal of this scheme is to encourage students to excel in areas beyond academics during their secondary studies.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Self_recommendation_scheme">Self recommendation scheme</h3></div>

<p>This scheme is designed for applicants with outstanding achievements in extracurricular activities. Applicants may apply for this scheme in addition to the main selection scheme and are permitted to submit a portfolio of extracurricular activities to the institutions to which they apply. This allows institutions to consider the applicants' accomplishments in non-academic areas alongside their academic performance. The aim of the scheme is to encourage broader participation in extracurricular activities during secondary education.

<p>The Early Admissions Scheme, a subsystem of JUPAS, was implemented from the 2002/03 to the 2010/11 academic years. It was designed specifically for Secondary 6 students who achieved outstanding results in the <a href="Hong_Kong_Certificate_of_Education_Examination" title="Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination">HKCEE</a>, enabling them to bypass the <a href="Hong_Kong_Advanced_Level_Examination" title="Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination">HKALE</a> and gain direct admission to the <a href="University_of_Hong_Kong" title="University of Hong Kong">University of Hong Kong</a>, <a href="Chinese_University_of_Hong_Kong" title="Chinese University of Hong Kong">The Chinese University of Hong Kong</a>, or the <a href="Hong_Kong_University_of_Science_and_Technology" title="Hong Kong University of Science and Technology">Hong Kong University of Science and Technology</a> upon meeting certain HKCEE benchmarks. Approximately 3–5% of total JUPAS intakes participated in this scheme until it was abolished in the 2011/12 academic year.
