The Joint University Programmes Admissions System (JUPAS) 2026 main round offer results were officially announced on August 5, 2026, at 9:00 AM Hong Kong time ³⁴. This announcement marked a significant moment for thousands of students applying to local universities in Hong Kong.

Key Highlights of JUPAS 2026 Results

• Announcement Channels: Successful applicants were notified through several channels: their individual JUPAS accounts, SMS messages, and the official websites of the nine JUPAS participating institutions ³.
• Single Offer Policy: Each successful applicant received only one Main Round offer, which was based on their confirmed programme choice list ³.
• Acceptance Rate: The 2026 admission cycle saw an acceptance rate of approximately 34%, which has been noted as the lowest in the past decade ⁷. This indicates a highly competitive environment for university admissions in Hong Kong this year.
• Post-Offer Procedures: Students who received an offer must complete several critical steps to secure their place:
• Check Results: Confirm the offer received ⁴.
• Pay Reservation Fee: A non-refundable reservation fee of HK$5,000 must be paid by the specified deadline ⁴. This fee is crucial for securing the offered place.
• Complete Registration: Follow the instructions to complete the registration process ⁴.
• Submit Documents: Provide any required supporting documents within the given timeframe ⁴.
• Deadlines are Crucial: Missing any of these deadlines will result in the forfeiture of the offer ⁴.

Reconsideration Based on Upgraded HKDSE Results

For applicants whose Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination results were upgraded after rechecking and remarking, a specific time slot was provided to modify their JUPAS choices. This allows students with improved scores to potentially receive a better offer ¹.

Admission Scores and Programme-Specific Information

Universities participating in JUPAS, such as City University of Hong Kong, have published their admission score formulas and indicative admission scores for 2026 JUPAS. These scores are typically calculated based on the programme-specific main admission score formula and the HKDSE results of JUPAS applicants who received Main Round offers in previous cycles (e.g., 2025 entry for 2026 admissions) ⁵. Some institutions have already congratulated their students on receiving offers, including those for specific Bachelor of Science (Honours) programmes like Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and Radiography ⁶.

The JUPAS system is designed to streamline the application process for local students using their HKDSE results to gain admission to undergraduate programmes offered by the participating institutions ². The 2026 results reflect the ongoing competitiveness and the importance of timely action for admitted students ⁴.
