UoG New Intake Acceptance Lists 2024 Information

The University of Goroka (UoG) publishes its annual acceptance lists in two instalments each year. In 2021 and 2022, the University announced the continuing students' status before they departed for the Christmas holidays. This practice eased the burden on UoG administration during the busy registration period at the start of the academic year.

2024 UoG Non-school Leavers and School Leavers List

Firstly, non-school leavers apply for a place through the University. Subsequently, the University of Goroka (UoG) makes the selection and publishes it on its website. This is entirely the University's responsibility.

Each faculty within UoG finalises the non-school leavers' selections, which are then submitted to the University Council for approval. Once approved, the list is published as a PDF document on the UoG website.

Secondly, school leavers' applications are processed through the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST). Therefore, DHERST is responsible for generating the listing for all tertiary institutions in Papua New Guinea, including UoG. DHERST will then publish this list.

For UoG's non-school leavers applicants waiting for the NSL acceptance list to come out, here is an article about the delay last year - read about it in this article.

UOG 2023 Acceptance List for Non-School Leavers 2024 Status Update

The final list for non-school leavers' admission to the University of Goroka (UoG) in 2024 is typically released early in January. Please note that there will be no supplementary or reserve list. As announced by UoG last year, the admission lists for the UoG-Enga and Sepik Campuses will be uploaded to the university website one week after the publication of the UoG Goroka campus list.

You can access the selection list on the UoG website at www.unigoroka.ac.pg. Acceptance letters will be mailed to successful applicants in good time before the start of the 2024 academic year. We encourage you to make any necessary arrangements as soon as you confirm your name on the university acceptance list.

2024 Grade 11 Selection List PDF Download or Login

This post provides an update on the current situation regarding the selection of students for Grade 11 in high and secondary schools for the 2024 academic year. The Department of Education has not yet released the selection list in PDF format on its website.

A login portal on the Department of Education's website suggests that students will be able to log in using passwords to check their Grade 11 selection status. However, this method has not been used since 2020, when the selection list was published in PDF files.

Information regarding the 2023 Grade 11 selection process for the 2024 academic year is currently limited. If there are no further developments, it is likely that the selection list for Grade 11 students will follow the previous pattern and be published in PDF format.

Latest update NOV 2023: The Grade 11 selection listing for 2024 is NOT out yet. Here is the date the selection will happen - read this latest article.

Grade 11 Selection updates

As predicted in our previous post, the Grade 11 Selection Lists for all Regions and National High Schools were released on time last year. The lists became available two weeks after the Grade 11 Selection Committee concluded their selection process.

Please be aware that the education department website was experiencing slow loading times due to a high volume of traffic. This can be frustrating, so please be patient while accessing the website.

The 2024 Grade 11 Selection Lists are NOW OUT & AVAILABLE HERE (Released 20/12/2023):

• >> Grade 11 Selection List for Highlands Region

• >> Grade 11 Selection List for Southern Region

• >> Grade 11 Selection List for NGI Region

• >> Grade 11 Selection List for MOMASE Region

• >> Grade 11 Selections for NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS

There appears to be a new *Grade 11 selection menu* (marked in the image below). But, detail on how to access the final listing for 2021 is sketchy at the moment.

Please note that we will keep our visitors updated as soon as we see the Grade 11 Selection published (and or released officially) for public benefit. 

Latest Update - Grade 11 Selections PDF List

How past Grade 11 selection lists published

Last year and the previous years, the Grade 11 selection lists were published in PDF form. The lists were arranged in regions, shown below.

• Grade 11 Selection List For Highlands Region
• Grade 11 Selection List For Momase Region
• Grade 11 Selection List For New Guinea Islands Region
• Grade 11 Selection List For Southern Region

There was no need to log in or anything. You just download the PDF file and search for your name, like what we showed our readers earlier here. 

Official Release Date of 2024 Grade 11 Selection

The official announcement of the date for the release of the Grade 11 selection will be made by the education secretary, so keep an eye out for it. PNG Insight will also let you know as soon as we get the date. 

Usually, the Grade 11 Selection List PDF list for each region comes out 2 weeks after the examination committee has made the selections.

Check around mid-December for the release of the selection listing.

The listing was not released officially by the Education Department at the time of this article. 

Meanwhile, we wait patiently for the official release of the Grade 11 selection list for 2022.

Work in progress?

At the moment, we think that the ICT Division of the National Education Department is working on their website to get the list up. This is what we see...

The best thing to do is to check the department's website for the latest Grade 11 Selection listings.

If you have any questions, please check out the articles here:

• High and Secondary Schools Selections- info & update
•  Grade 11 Selection Timeline

Grade 11 Selection Login 

A new menu for *Grade 11 selection* appears on the education department website. There is no instruction about how students, parents and citizens will log in. 

We can only infer that it will be the same step (for login) as the Grade 10 online selection where a student uses:

• Surname,
• Given-name, and
• School Leaver's Number

We are NOT clear about how the login works. So, stay in tune or check out the education department's website for FULL DETAILS. As mentioned, we will let you know if/when we know what is happening.

If the Education Secretary nominates a due date, it is ONLY right that the divisions/sections responsible for facilitating the release of Grade 11 national selection MUST (and should) meet the deadline. No excuses!

UNITECH Selection: Schools Ranked By Number of School Leavers Selected

The University of Technology (UNITECH) has done a great job of letting parents and sponsors know who was accepted into the university. They released the list of accepted students quickly. This shows that UNITECH is committed to making the admission process smooth.

UNITECH also did a good job of selecting students from a variety of schools. They accepted almost 500 students from 95 different schools. This shows that UNITECH is open to students from all over the country.

UNITECH recognized the top 10 schools that produced the most accepted students. They also recognized Menyamya and Okapa Secondary Schools for sending two students each to UNITECH. This shows that UNITECH appreciates the good work of these schools.
