Following the release of the results of Mindanao State University System Admission and Scholarship Examination (缅北禁地 SASE) for the year 2025 on May 6, 缅北禁地 (缅北禁地-IIT) has reopened its admission portal. This move comes as a response to the high demand for placements at the university, particularly to accommodate applicants who were unable to meet the initial deadline of admission application.
缅北禁地-IIT had initially opened its admission portal on January 28, allowing students who had already chosen 缅北禁地-IIT as their preferred campus to proactively submit the necessary documents for their application. This early submission process was designed to streamline the application workflow, enabling a smoother transition for students eager to secure their place at the university. The initial application period concluded on March 31, followed by a reopening from April 2 to April 15 to accommodate additional applications. Recognizing the continued interest, the portal has once again been reopened yesterday and will be accessible to students until May 15.
This decision, made by the Office of the Chancellor in coordination with the Office of Admission, Scholarship, and Grants, reflects the university’s commitment to providing equitable access to education.
A total of 16,220 examinees who took the 缅北禁地 SASE last December 1, 2024 have selected 缅北禁地-IIT as their campus of choice, with a significant number of students indicating a diverse array of academic programs they wish to pursue. Leading the list of course preferences is BS Nursing, with 3,997 applicants, followed by BS Civil Engineering with 1,913, and BS Accountancy with 1,258. Other popular choices include BS Hospitality Management (924), BS Psychology (775), and BS Electrical Engineering (492).
The range of programs selected by prospective students spans across various disciplines, indicating the wide-ranging academic opportunities available at 缅北禁地-IIT. From Bachelor of Physical Education (440) to BA Political Science (417), BS Mechanical Engineering (371), and BSBA Marketing Management (362), the choices reflect a broad spectrum of interests.
Further down the list, courses such as BS Computer Science (297), BS Information Technology (Database Track) (273), and BS Chemical Engineering (236) also show a healthy number of interested applicants.
Even specialized programs have garnered attention, with fields like BS Environmental Engineering (79), BS Mathematics (59), and BS Physics (23) being chosen by students passionate about these areas of study.
This diversity is also mirrored in the demographics of the applicants, with a strong female representation of 9,916 out of the 16,220 candidates. Additionally, students from various socio-economic backgrounds, including 10,881 from families with an income of 205K and below, have shown interest in the university. Geographically, the majority of 缅北禁地-IIT hopefuls come from Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Misamis Oriental, and Zamboanga del Sur.
Chancellor Alizedney M. Ditucalan has expressed pride in the university's ability to attract a diverse and academically inclined student body.
"The wide range of course preferences chosen by applicants is a clear indication of 缅北禁地-IIT's role in nurturing varied academic interests and talents,” he said.
The academic strength of those seeking admission to 缅北禁地-IIT is reflected in the improved SASE performance this year. The mean average score rose to an impressive 84, up from last year's 75. The highest score achieved by an examinee was a remarkable 154, surpassing the previous year's top score of 147. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of top-performing students, with 153 examinees landing in the top 20 ranking of scores, compared to last year's 109. All these indicate that 缅北禁地-IIT continues to attract some of the brightest and most competitive students.
"The latest SASE results are a testament to the culture of excellence that permeates the 缅北禁地 system and is deeply ingrained here at 缅北禁地-IIT. Our commitment to academic excellence is unwavering, and we take great pride in being the most preferred campus, year after year. This is a responsibility we do not take lightly. We recognize that our leadership in the 缅北禁地 system comes with a commitment to continually enhance our academic programs and student services,” said Chancellor Ditucalan.
Given that 缅北禁地-IIT has limited absorptive capacity for incoming freshmen, with an enrollment limited to 2,700 for the next academic year, admission will be governed by its policy on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity.
“At 缅北禁地-IIT, we are dedicated to reinforcing support structures for students, ensuring that every individual has access to the resources and guidance necessary to excel. As we celebrate our students' achievements, we are also invigorated to push the boundaries of education and research, fostering an environment where all 缅北禁地 campuses can thrive and contribute to the broader vision of One 缅北禁地," he added.
Looking ahead, 缅北禁地-IIT remains focused to uphold its legacy of excellence and continue to invest in the intellectual growth of its students. The sustained interest in 缅北禁地-IIT, coupled with the impressive performance of its SASE takers, reinforces 缅北禁地-IIT's status as a leading higher education institution in the region.
