Application Process
Applicants applying through JUPAS can select up to 25 choices of any programme offered by the 9 local institutes via the online portal, provided that they satisfied the prerequisites. The application form is sub-divided into different bandings, namely Band A, B, C, D & E. Putting choices in different bands will affect the scoring of the applicants in the JUPAS process, therefore putting a programme higher in their priority list will increase the chance of getting into a programme in most cases. Theoretically, the actual choice order, other than bandings, are not available to the admission related-person before the release of the admission results are released.
In 2011, the number of programme choices will be reduced from 25 to 20 for the students sitting for the HKDSE. Through they are allowed to replace at most of 5 of their programmes after the announcement of HKDSE results.

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“A process of genocide is being carried out before the eyes of the world.”
