The National University Corporation, the University of Electro-Communications, will be conducting basic academic ability tests using CBT (Computer Based Testing) for the selection of students for the Department of Information Science and Technology I (Information Engineering) from the 2025 entrance examination. This will be implemented through comprehensive selection and school recommendation selection, but it will be the first selection in Japan to use CBT for the subject "Information I."
According to the University of Electro-Communications, the application period for the comprehensive selection for the Department of Information Science and Technology, Type I (Information Engineering) will be from September 2024rd to September 9th, 3. There will be a first and second selection process, with the first selection process involving application documents as well as a computer-based test (CBT) and a non-cognitive ability test (CBT). The second selection process will be an interview. The admission quota is seven students.
The Comprehensive Academic Test (CBT) conducted in the first selection process is a basic academic ability test in the fields of information and mathematics, and the test time is 90 minutes for each subject. The Non-Cognitive Ability Survey (CBT) is a survey of abilities that cannot be measured by academic ability tests, such as the attitude of learning independently and collaborating with a diverse range of people, and the test time is about 15 minutes.
The application period for the school recommendation type selection for the Information Science and Technology Department Type I (Information) will be from November 2024st to November 11th, 1. Selection will be based on a comprehensive exam, basic academic ability test (CBT), non-cognitive ability survey (CBT), and an interview, with a maximum of 11 students admitted. There are five program units, and the design thinking and data science program is targeted at girls.
In order to introduce the CBT system, applicants for both selection processes must agree to the non-disclosure and non-disclosure of test questions. In addition, there will be an opportunity to try out the CBT system online at home before the test date.
In addition, for the comprehensive and school recommendation type selection for Information Science and Technology Class II (integrated) and Class III (science and engineering), basic academic ability tests (CBT) and non-cognitive ability tests (CBT) will not be conducted.
