2016 JUPAS (HKDSE) Admission Scores
For applicants who have fulfilled the minimum entrance requirements, admission scores are calculated for selection purposes. The information contained here is based on the admission scores (with weightings applied where appropriate) of offered applicants in the JUPAS main round admission exercise. Students admitted through special admission routes (other experiences and achievements, principal's nominations, sports talents, disabled applicants and Home Affairs Bureau Multi-Faceted Excellence Scholarship) are not included. Students are reminded that because of the different weightings adopted, the admission scores are not comparable across programmes and different admission years. The sample cases are for reference only and should not be used to predict the chance of admission. The selection criteria vary each year, and many types of scores are used in the selection process. In addition to public examination results, other factors (such as band choices, interview performance, etc.) may also be considered.
