The 2025 college regular admission includes various variables such as an increase in medical school quotas, expansion of the major-free selection system, expansion of the third group for universities located in Seoul, reduction of designated elective subjects, and additional points awarded based on elective subjects.


Due to the expansion of the major-free selection system, some universities have significantly reduced the number of students admitted to existing recruitment units (departments) compared to last year, which also affects examinees who do not apply for the major-free option. Accordingly, the Office of Education recommends preparing by establishing a strategy that suits oneself.



Superintendent Lee Jeong-seon said, "Regular admission is the final gateway for students preparing for college entrance," and added, "We plan to provide various counseling sessions for students applying through regular admission, so we hope many will take an interest and participate actively."
