Gyeongnam National University, which has emerged as a "Manufacturing AX Global Leading University" by spearheading the AI transformation of regional industries, is currently focusing on advanced industries such as artificial intelligence, manufacturing ICT, and software. The university is actively supporting the development of regional industries and helping students grow into "AX Convergence Talents" who will lead the future.


In this early admission, the university will recruit a total of 1,934 students, which is 98.67% of the total enrollment quota of 1,960. Across all colleges-including Humanities and Social Sciences, Health and Wellness, Education, Business, Public Leadership, Engineering, AI and Software, Creative Convergence, and Future Life-the university will select 888 students through the General Track, 518 through the Regional Talent Track, and 16 through the Equal Opportunity Track, all based 100% on the school records. The school records are calculated as 90% academic grades and 10% attendance.


The General Interview Track will recruit a total of 129 students. This track consists of two stages: the first stage is based on academic grades, and the second stage combines 60% grades and 40% interview scores. The interview will be conducted as a blind interview, with the average score of three questions assessing major suitability and potential for development, and two questions evaluating character and communication skills, being reflected. The interview questions will be announced in advance on the university website.


The Physical Education Track requires applicants to prepare in advance for the practical test. This track is evaluated based on 60% school records and 40% practical test. The practical test consists of four events: 100-meter sprint, ball throw, zigzag run, and standing long jump. The practical test is scheduled for the morning of October 18.


The Comprehensive School Record Track does not consider academic grades and selects students based 100% on their school records. The evaluation criteria are academic competency (30%), career competency (40%), and community competency (30%). This track favors students who may have slightly lower grades but have thoroughly prepared their school records.



This year, the minimum academic requirements for the Nursing and Physical Therapy departments in both the General Track and Regional Talent Track have been relaxed. For Nursing, the combined grade of two subjects among Korean, Mathematics, English, and one elective must be 9 or less, and for Physical Therapy, 10 or less. In addition, any records regarding school violence must be mandatorily included.
