[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Korea Council for University Education announced on the 18th that the average number of early admission applications per person for the 2021 academic year was 4.73.

According to the analysis of this year's early admission application data by the Council, the total number of applications was 2,121,694, which is a decrease of 0.01 applications per person compared to the previous year.

They explained that preventive measures were taken against 337 violators who applied more than six times. According to the basic guidelines for university admissions, applicants can apply up to six times for early admission. If applications exceed six times, the applications beyond the sixth are canceled, and if the applicant proceeds with the admission process in violation of this rule, it will be invalidated. However, applications to industrial universities, junior colleges, universities established under special laws, and admissions where both parents are foreigners are excluded from the application count.

Applicants can check their university application status and any violations of admission rules through the university admission information portal 'Eodiga'.
