[2026 Early Admission] Inha University Establishes Department of Bio Food Engineering... Selection Through Comprehensive Student Record Screening

2,613 Students to Be Admitted Through Early Admission
Comprehensive Student Record Screening Accounts for 1,660 Admissions

Inha University will select 2,613 students, which is 66.1% of its total admissions quota, through the early admission process for the 2026 academic year.

The largest number of students, 1,660, will be admitted through the comprehensive student record screening. This year, Inha University has divided its representative comprehensive student record screening, the Inha Future Talent screening, into two types: interview-based and document-based.

The interview-based Inha Future Talent screening is a multi-stage process. In the first stage, candidates are selected at a ratio of 3.5 to 1 (3 to 1 for the College of Medicine) based solely on a comprehensive document review. In the second stage, final admissions are determined by combining 70% of the first stage score with 30% from the interview evaluation. The number of students to be admitted through this process is 943.

The document-based Inha Future Talent screening is a single-stage process, selecting 243 students based solely on a comprehensive document review. Other special admissions tracks, such as those for equal opportunity and rural students, follow the same method as the document-based Inha Future Talent screening. The comprehensive student record screening does not require a minimum College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) score.

To foster future-oriented talent, a new department, the Department of Bio Food Engineering, has been established. Through close interdisciplinary education and joint research with the Departments of Biotechnology and Life Sciences, it is expected to contribute to the development of the food industry and the improvement of human quality of life. Thirteen students will be admitted through the interview-based Inha Future Talent screening, and two students through the rural student track.

The Regional Balance track, which is a student record-based screening, will admit 413 students. Applicants must be recommended by the principal of their (current or former) high school, and there is no limit to the number of recommendations per school. Admissions are determined 100% by high school academic performance, and a minimum CSAT score is required. For the humanities track (including the School of Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts), the minimum CSAT requirement is a combined score of 6 or less in any two of the following areas: Korean, Mathematics, English, and one subject from Social Studies or Science. For the natural sciences track (excluding the College of Medicine), the requirement is a combined score of 5 or less in any two of the same areas. For the College of Medicine, the minimum CSAT requirement is relaxed to a combined grade of 4 or less in any three of the following: Korean, Mathematics, English, and two subjects from Science.
