UP will hold the UPCAT on June 3 and 4, 2023 in more than 100 testing centers nationwide. Successful applicants will be admitted in the First Semester of AY 2024-2025.

This will be the first time their college entrance exam will be held since 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.

The application for UPCAT 2024 will open in the first week of March 2023 through an online portal.

“All applications are to be done online and applicants need to encode their grades for Grades 8, 9, 10 and 11 in the UPCAT online portal. Though applicants may still be in Grade 11 when they apply, exam takers will encode their grades online only in September 2023 when Grade 11 grades are final and complete,” UP said in a statement.

UP added that hard copies of the official grades of applicants will be requested from their respective schools in September to be used for verification purposes of the UP Office of Admissions.



“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 premier state university said.
