文部科学省が2024年11月27日に発表した「令和6年度 国公私立大学入学者選抜実施状況」によると、2024年度入試の募集人員と入学者数は、国立大学で9万5,692人に対して9万8,524人、公立大学で3万3,796人に対して3万5,702人、私立大学で49万5,700人に対して47万9,227人となっており、合計すると62万5,188人に対して61万3,453人となる。
In the past, the number of students admitted to private universities was lower than the number of students they were recruiting for the 2021 and 2023 entrance exams, but the combined number of students admitted to national and public universities was not lower than the number of students they were recruiting. In the 2024 entrance exam, the number of students admitted to private universities was 1 fewer than the number of students they were recruiting, which had a major impact.
Looking at the total number of students admitted through each selection process, the number of students admitted through the comprehensive selection process has increased significantly, to a total of about 10. The number of students admitted for the 2024 entrance examination is increasing at all school types, from 5,744 to 5,981 at national universities, from 1,445 to 1,661 at public universities, and from 8 to 5,204 at private universities. The total number of students admitted through the comprehensive selection process and school recommendation selection process is 9, or 928% of the total number of students admitted through the 31 selection processes, and is still more than half, following the previous year's 3,069%.
The "6 National, Public and Private University Admissions Selection Implementation Status" was compiled as of May 2024, 5, and includes the number of students enrolled in the second round of admissions to fill vacancies and in the fall of 1.
