The number of applicants for the 2026 Joint University Program Admissions System (JUPAS) is the highest since 2019 - a significant increase from 42,916 last year to 45,273, indicating that the competition this year will be even more intense than last year. The general increase in the admission scores of the eight institutions is due to the fact that last year, many students failed to meet their expectations and were allocated less than desirable places. Coupled with the increase in the number of applicants this year, students need to grasp the situation more accurately and plan for their further studies.

In order to help students meet the challenges, Ming Pao will organize the "Ming Pao Education Expo" on July 11 and 12, which will bring together a number of tertiary education institutions, as well as experts in the field of higher education to provide practical information and strategic analysis.
