[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Sungkyunkwan University plans to select a total of 1,128 students in this year's regular admission, with 573 in Group A and 556 in Group B. This is the same as the previous year and accounts for about 31.6% of the total admission quota of Sungkyunkwan University.

Since the regular admission is divided into Group A and Group B, applicants must check which group their desired department belongs to. Both humanities and natural sciences select students based 100% on the CSAT scores in both Group A and Group B. The arts and physical education departments select students in Group B based on CSAT scores and practical exams.

Some departments have changed their admission groups. The Software Engineering, Semiconductor Systems Engineering, Global Biomedical Engineering, and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, which were previously selected in Group A, have moved to Group B, while Global Leadership and Natural Sciences departments, which were selected in Group B, have moved to Group A. Since changes in admission groups affect admission results, this should be carefully noted.

From this year, a unified standard for awarding additional English points will be applied across all humanities, natural sciences, and arts and physical education departments. For the Department of Sports Science, one inquiry subject is included in the CSAT score calculation, and the practical test has been relaxed by excluding the chin-up test for male applicants and the push-up test for female applicants.

Another feature is the large-scale admission units that integrate various departments into one. Freshmen are also selected through large-scale admission units such as Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Engineering. Large-scale admission units have more admission quotas than individual departments, so changes in admission scores due to competition rates tend to be smaller. Similar levels of students apply and are admitted every year.

It is also important to carefully check the reflection ratios of each CSAT subject area. For the humanities at Sungkyunkwan University, Korean (40%), Mathematics Type A or B (40%), and Social/Science Inquiry (20%) are reflected, while for natural sciences, Korean (25%), Mathematics Type A (40%), and Science Inquiry (35%) are reflected. For arts and physical education, the reflection ratios vary by department, so applicants should carefully check the admission guidelines. From this year, the Department of Sports Science additionally reflects one subject from Social/Science Inquiry. For humanities admission units, the second foreign language and classical Chinese are recognized as one inquiry subject score. Additional points for English and Korean history are applied under the same standards for all admission units.
