The standardized regions in Gyeongnam consist of a total of 5 school districts and 62 schools.

From the 4th round of lottery, schools with unfilled quotas conduct another random lottery and assignment regardless of grade, based on the order of preferred schools, and assigned schools cannot be changed.
