Obunsha has announced the results of a survey on the implementation status of "Internet application" for university entrance examinations in 2017.It was found that 72 public and private universities such as Kyoto University have newly introduced it, and more than half of the private universities will implement it.

The editorial department of Obunsha's "Snow Age" conducted a questionnaire survey on the implementation of online applications for the 2017 entrance examinations for all 153 (533) year universities including the communication system.We received responses from XNUMX national and public universities and XNUMX private universities.

 As a result, about 1% of the universities with more than 99 applicants applied online.It can be seen that the size of the university and the introduction rate of online applications are almost proportional.National and public universities apply online at 21 universities (about 14%), including XNUMX newly implemented universities, including Kyoto University, Kyushu University, and Akita International University.

 At private universities, the total of "already introduced" and "decided (or planned) to introduce a new one" exceeded the majority at about 55% for the first time, a significant increase from about 2016% in 45.Furthermore, of the 295 universities that apply online, 159 schools will fully implement the entrance examinations.This was also reversed from the university (136 universities) used together with the paper application, and exceeded the majority at 54% for the first time.In addition, 63 new universities, mainly difficult schools in the Tokyo metropolitan area, such as Waseda University, Keio University, and Rikkyo University.It is an increase of about 27% from the previous year.

 About 60% of PCs and about 40% of smartphones are the means of applying online.The majority of personal computers are due to the fact that application forms need to be printed out by printers and that some universities do not support smartphones.
