The Office of Admissions of the University of the Philippines has announced the opening of the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) 2024, slated on June 3 to 4, which will be conducted in 100 test centers nationwide.

Applications will be strictly online starting in the first week of March.

All applicants are instructed to encode their grades for Gard 8, 9, 10, and 11 in the UPCAT 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 announced.

On September 2023, the university will request hard copies of the official grades of applicants from their school for verification purp[osed of the Office of Admissions.

It was in 2020 when UPCAT was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making them admit students based on scholastic performance in senior high school.
