Capitol University

As the premier State University, UP offers a wide range of degree programs. Most of these require qualification through the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT). To maintain its high standard of education and to maximize its limited resources, UP has had to limit slots for freshman admission to each campus and to its various degree programs.

If you decide to take the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) on August 7 or 8, 2010, you will be one among many thousands who aspire to enter the University of the Philippines. (Last year, there were over 67,000  examinees.)

Admission into UP depends not only on your performance in the UPCAT but also on your high school grades -- your weighted standardized scores on the UPCAT subtests in Language Proficiency, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics and Science, and the weighted average of final grades in your first three years in high school are combined. Moreover, to implement the policy of democratization to make the UP studentry more representative of the nation's population, socio-economic and geographic considerations are factored in the selection of campus qualifiers.

Application Forms for UPCAT are available at the Capitol University Admissions Office.
