Inha University to Admit 1,229 Students for 2024 Regular Admissions... Establishment of Semiconductor Systems Engineering Department

Inha University will select 1,229 students (32.1%) out of a total of 3,824 applicants in the 2024 regular admission cycle.

The selection categories are divided into CSAT (general), specialized high school graduates, practical/performance, rural area, and lifelong learner admissions. The CSAT (general) and specialized high school graduate categories select candidates based 100% on CSAT scores across groups A, B, and C. The practical/performance category considers both CSAT and practical skills. Since the weighting between CSAT and practical skills varies by department, applicants should verify this before applying. The rural area and lifelong learner categories admit students only if there are leftover spots from early admissions.

For the CSAT (general) category, the score weighting for humanities majors is ▲Korean 30%, ▲Mathematics 25%, ▲English 20%, ▲Social Studies/Science 20%, and ▲Korean History 5%. For natural science majors, the weighting is ▲Korean 20%, ▲Mathematics 30%, ▲English 20%, ▲Science Exploration 25%, and ▲Korean History 5%.

Additionally, starting this year, the university has abolished separate recruitment by academic track. Four departments?Spatial Information Engineering, Nursing, Asia-Pacific Logistics, and Global Finance?will only admit students from the original academic track.

Regarding the scoring method by subject, Korean and Mathematics use standard scores, English uses a self-converted score based on grade levels, the exploration area uses a self-converted standard score based on the percentile ranks of two subjects, and Korean History uses a self-converted score by grade. Compared to last year, the change is in the English self-converted score, where the difference between the first and third grade scores has been reduced to ease the burden on test takers.

Along with this, the university has newly established the Semiconductor Systems Engineering department and will select 13 students in group A through the CSAT (general) category. The program aims to nurture convergent talents who will lead the rapidly growing semiconductor technology field by offering a specialized curriculum. All first-time regular admission successful candidates (excluding early admission carryovers) will receive a four-year scholarship.

Inha University has also reorganized the Department of Biotechnology in the College of Engineering and the Department of Life Sciences in the College of Natural Sciences into an independent division called the Bio-System Convergence Department to recruit future talents who will lead the advanced bio-industry domestically and internationally. In the regular admission, the Department of Biotechnology will select 15 students in group A, and the Department of Life Sciences will select 17 students in group C.

The application period for regular admissions is from 9 a.m. on January 3 to 6 p.m. on January 6 next year. Practical exams will be conducted by department from January 9 to 30. The general admission results will be announced on January 24, and the practical admission results on February 6.

The Inha University Admissions Office provides various information for applicants. They operate a 'Regular Admission Help Desk' offering personalized counseling, including score conversion checks through counseling programs and phone consultations. They will also release a final support strategy video for regular admissions to guide applicants on key points.
