Entrance exams for state universities<\/h2>\n

In a Senate hearing last Thursday, the investigating panel asked Commission on Higher Education spokesperson Prospero de Vera III on the agency’s plan with regards to the opening of universities for the Academic year 2020-2021.<\/p>\n

There are some state universities that are willing to waive entrance exams as long as the student’s high school grade is fit with their standards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to De Vera, some universities will allow admission of students without having to take the entrance exam, as long as their high school grades are within the standards of the university.
\nIn addition, some universities in various municipalities will set-up transport services for students planning to take their entrance exams.
\nWith regard to the upcoming college admission, the CHED reminded universities and colleges that mass promotion would be based on their own assessment and decision.<\/p>\n
