[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] A total of 133 specialized colleges nationwide will begin their regular admissions for the 2022 academic year starting from the 31st. A specialized college regular admissions fair will also be held on January 7-8.

On the 22nd, the Korea Council for College Education announced that 21,545 students will be admitted in the 2022 regular admissions, which is 3,902 fewer than last year. The number is expected to increase if the unfilled spots from early admissions are carried over.

The largest recruitment fields in specialized college regular admissions are Nursing and Health

The number of recruits by admission type for the 2022 specialized college regular admissions is ▲General Admission 8,302 ▲Special Admission 995 ▲Special Admission (outside quota) 12,248.

By major field, the recruitment scale is ▲Nursing and Health 4,553 (21.1%) ▲Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics 4,153 (19.3%) ▲Hotel and Tourism 2,531 (11.7%) ▲Theater, Film, Broadcasting, Applied Arts 2,173 (10.1%) ▲Accounting, Taxation, Distribution 1,672 (7.8%) in order.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Hotel and Tourism field saw a 49.7% decrease in recruitment compared to last year.

When choosing a major at a college, even if the major name is the same, the duration of study may differ between colleges as either a 2-year or 3-year program, so it is essential to check detailed information about the related major before applying.

The number of recruits by admission type in the regular admissions is ▲Document-based admission 7,276 (33.8%) ▲CSAT-based admission 5,524 (25.6%) ▲Interview-based admission 3,523 (16.4%) ▲School record-based admission 2,793 (13.0%) ▲Practical skills-based admission 2,429 (11.3%).

Application starts from the 31st... Multiple applications allowed, but registration only at one institution

Due to the lawsuit regarding the CSAT Life Science II subject, the application period has been postponed by one day and will start on the 31st. Applications will be accepted until January 12, and this schedule is uniformly applied across all specialized colleges. Interview schedules are autonomously set by each college, and there are no restrictions on the number of applications or admissions.

If a student has been accepted to even one university in early admissions, they cannot apply for regular admissions regardless of whether they register or not. Students who are accepted to two or more universities for the same semester must register at only one university (double registration is prohibited). Violations will result in admission being invalidated after verification through computerized records.

Regular admissions results will be announced by February 8, and registration will take place from February 9 to 11. To fill vacancies after regular admissions, autonomous recruitment will be conducted until February 28. Students who were not admitted in regular admissions should carefully check the autonomous recruitment.

The Korea Council for College Education will hold the "2022 Regular Admissions Specialized College Admission Information Fair" at the Yangjae aT Center from January 7 to 8, providing career and admission information for examinees, parents, and high school guidance counselors.

According to quarantine guidelines, only those who have completed vaccination, have a negative PCR test result (within 48 hours), or have recovered from COVID-19 can enter, with time slots divided into morning and afternoon. Examinees and parents can make reservations in advance on the admission information fair website to visit at their preferred time.

An online admission information fair will also be operated during the regular admissions period, and examinees can receive online counseling through the consultation channels of the colleges they wish to apply to on the website.
