The Grade 12 Online Selection 2018 (for tertiary institutions) in the country can be described as the best change the DHERST (Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology) has implemented.
The result of the selection process had shown that the method was time-and-money saving, fast and efficient.
We also provide some background information on the 6 PNG universities here. Find out about the admissions and selections for UPNG, UOG, UNRE, Unitech, DWU and PAU:
The tables below contained raw data compiled from the selection document (PDF) published on the DHERST website. The raw data simply aims to show readers and stakeholders the number of spaces (and the spaces available per program of study) at the 6 universities.
Perhaps it is important to know that no
significant increase in the number of spaces had been observed across the 6 main universities.
For example, previous records indicated 594 students
in 2016, 495 students in 2017 and 599 students selected to UNITECH Lae three Campus; and 286 students in 2016, 297 students in 2017 and 280 students selected to Divine Word University four campus. In fact, spaces at universities remain relatively the same.
*Note that this is the online selection done by DHERST - not by the universities. Each selected student will be issued an offer letter and formally invited to the academic year at the selected university.
**Also note that figure 3204 does NOT include other tertiary institutions in the country. It is indicative of the 6 universities mentioned here.
