67.9% of 2,595 Students Admitted Early
Comprehensive Student Records '100% Document Review' Abolished

Inha University selects 2,595 students, accounting for 67.9% of the total recruitment quota, through early admission. This year, the university has established the Department of Bio-System Convergence and the Department of Semiconductor Industry Convergence, recruiting 27 students through early admission.


By admission type, 973 students are selected through the Comprehensive Student Record Screening (Inha Future Talent). The first stage reflects 70% of the comprehensive document evaluation, and the second stage reflects 30% of the interview evaluation. Starting this year, the Comprehensive Student Record Screening (Inha True Talent), which previously selected students based on 100% document evaluation, has been abolished. The evaluation criteria include ▲basic academic competency ▲career exploration competency ▲community competency. Among these, career exploration competency accounts for 50% of the evaluation weight.


The Student Record Curriculum Regional Balance Screening selects 604 students based on 100% curriculum scores. It operates as a principal recommendation screening without limits on the number of recommendations per high school, so all students recommended by their principals can apply. This screening applies minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) requirements, resulting in relatively lower competition rates.

The essay screening method combines 70% essay scores and 30% curriculum scores. This year, 459 students will be selected through the essay screening. Since last year, the difficulty of the natural sciences math essay has been adjusted to an appropriate level, and the number of separate questions increased from one to two. The humanities essay question types have also changed, so it is necessary to check the mock essay questions available on the admissions office website.


Notably, this year Inha University has established the Department of Semiconductor Systems Engineering within the College of Engineering. Of the total quota of 40 students, 27 will be selected through early admission: 13 through the Comprehensive Student Record Screening (Inha Future Talent), 8 through curriculum screening, and 6 through essay screening. Additionally, the Department of Bio-System Convergence has been established by reorganizing the existing Department of Biotechnology in the College of Engineering and the Department of Life Sciences in the College of Natural Sciences. The Department of Semiconductor Industry Convergence has been newly established within the College of Future Convergence.



Applications for early admission will be accepted from the 11th to the 15th of this month. As long as the screening schedules do not overlap, applicants may apply to multiple admission types simultaneously.
