[Pathak]

Hey the UPCAT consists of 4 subtests:

Language Proficiency,

Science,

Mathematics

Reading Comprehension.

Standardized scores on these subtests are combined with the weighted average of final grades in the first three years of high school to determine qualification into UP.

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.

Selection Criteria

All applicants are ranked based on their admission grades and then screened based on the choice of campuses.

The top-ranking applicants, based on the quota and cut-off grade set by each campus, will qualify.

Entry into UP Diliman or UP Manila tends to be competitive because these campuses are chosen by more applicants.

If you qualify for your first choice, you will no longer be considered for your second choice of campus.

But if you do not qualify for your first choice, you are automatically considered for your second choice of campus.
