Entrance Exams

This is a list of standardized tests that students may need to take for admissions to various Universities and Colleges. Tests of language proficiency are excluded here.

Only tests not included within a certain secondary schooling curriculum are listed. Thus, those tests initially focused on secondary–school–leaving, e.g., GCE A–Levels in the UK, or French Baccalaureate, are not listed here, although they function as the de facto admission tests in those countries (see list of secondary school leaving certificates).

Admission processes differs in institutes. For secondary school students applying degree–level programme provided by University Grants Committee(UGC)–funded institutes, they can only apply through Joint University Programmes Admissions System(JUPAS), which uses Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination(HKALE) and Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination(HKCEE) as benchmark agency until academic year 2011/12. and Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) since 2011/12.

JUPAS is not used in most non–UGC/non–degree level programmes, even these institutes still uses the examination results that JUPAS uses as benchmark agency.

From 2016 all students who would like to apply for a university in Hungary have to prove their language skills. They are required to pass a nationally accredited language exam at B2 CEFR level.

Admission procedures and entry tests vary widely across states and universities/institutes. Usually, admission to a university in a state is based upon the performance of the candidates in the statewide Higher Secondary examinations. These are usually given after completion of the twelfth standard/grade, for example the HSC examinations of Maharashtra. Some states also have special entrance examinations for entry into engineering and medical programs, for example the Common Entrance Test in Karnataka, or the Common Entrance Test in Delhi. Admission into federally established institutes like the Central Universities, the IITs, and the NITs is usually based on a combination of performance in nationwide exams such as the JEE–MAINS and the state–level Higher Secondary examinations. Admission into federally established institutes like the NISER and the CBS is based on performance in the nationwide exam – the NEST. Admission to the National Law Universities is based on a national level entry examination conducted annually by the CLAT.
