UPCAT makes comeback for AY ’24-’25
For the first time since the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic broke out in 2020, the University of the Philippines (UP) will conduct its face-to-face entrance test in 2023.
According to a release from UP, the UP College Admission Test (UPCAt) for first-year admission in Academic Year (AY) 2024–2025 will take place on June 3 and 4, 2023, at almost a hundred testing centers around the nation.
“This was decided during a meeting on September 14, 2022, of UP’s President’s Advisory Council (PAC), which includes the President and the Vice Presidents of the UP System, the Secretary of the University and the Board of Regents, the Chancellors of UP’s eight constituent universities, the Director of the UP Philippine General Hospital, and the Executive Director of the UP Bonifacio Global City Campus,” UP said in a statement on its website.
According to the institution, grade 11 pupils who will graduate from senior high school at the conclusion of the academic year 2023–2024 can begin applying in March 2023. Those that are accepted will be enrolled in the first semester of that academic year.
“The early opening of applications for UPCAT 2024 and the holding of the UPCAT in June will ensure the timely release of results in light of the anticipated large increase in applications,” the university said.
