Advisory to all Passers and non-Passers of UPCAT AY 2014-2015
Results may be viewed at the UPCAT website here. The UPCAT servers became slow the moment UPCAT results posted online. Same as the previous years, mirror sites are used, here and here.
Results also posted at the U.P. Office of Admissions and will be available on site mirrors that will redirect to the main UPCAT results. Stickbreadsolutions and Preginet are the site mirrors used by UP on releasing results to prevent possible downtime on their website or server due to high volume of traffic on the results day.
Last year, there were over 74,000 examinees who took UPCAT. According to reports, only around 17% usually passed UPCAT every year or can be translated to an average of 10,000 out of 60,000 examinees can surpass the exam.
For the qualifiers for admission to UP, you are advised to register according to the instructions provided by the college or unit to which you have been accepted.
The University of the Philippines is the premier academic institution in the country with eight (8)constituent universities -- UP Diliman (with an extension program in Pampanga), UP Baguio, UP Los Baños, UP Manila (with Schools of Health Sciences in Baler, Palo, and Koronadal), UP Visayas (with campuses in Iloilo/Miagao and Tacloban), UP Cebu, UP Mindanao, and the Open University.
The Diliman campus is the University’s flagship campus and offers the largest number of degree programs. Other campuses are known for specific areas of specialization. For example, UP Manila is the country’s Center of Excellence in the health sciences; UP Los Baños is a distinguished center of academic excellence in agriculture, forestry and related sciences in Asia; UP Visayas is noted for its program in fisheries which is recognized as one of the best in Asia; UP Baguio is noted for its Cordillera Studies program; and the UP Open University provides educational opportunities beyond the boundaries of a conventional university (i.e., through distance learning).
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 through UPCAT.
Since 1991, the UP Oblation Scholarship has been awarded to the top fifty UPCAT qualifiers. The benefits include free tuition, miscellaneous and laboratory fees, a semestral book subsidy and a monthly incentive and transportation allowance. Recipients may enjoy the UP Oblation Scholarship throughout the normal length of time required to finish their chosen degree program, provided they maintain the required grade point average. For those in the accelerated medical program (INTARMED), however, only the first four years are covered by this grant.
The UPCAT is a five-hour examination in English and Filipino and consists of 4 subtests: Language Proficiency, Science, Mathematics and 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, socioeconomic and geographic considerations are factored in the selection of campus qualifiers.
