The Education Bureau (EDB) announced on Monday that the online application for the Scheme for Admission of Hong Kong Students to Mainland Higher Education Institutions (Admission Scheme) will begin on March 1. According to the Admission Scheme arrangements for the 2024/25 academic year announced by the Ministry of Education (MoE), a total of 138 Mainland higher education institutions will consider admission applications of Hong Kong students taking part in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE) 2024 based on their HKDSE results, eliminating the need for students to take the Mainland Joint Entrance Examination. This year's scheme saw the addition of six new participating institutes, including the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), Zhejiang University of Technology, Shaoxing University, South China Agricultural University, Southwest Jiaotong University, and Northwestern Polytechnical University. Applicants can log on to the online application system to confirm application verification results before April 10. Applicants passing the application verification were reminded to settle fees and complete the application confirmation process according to the instructions provided in the online application system by April 30.
