Admission process

UIS is one of the most recognized engineering universities in eastern Colombia.

Admission FAQ

How does the UIS weighted score work?
UIS assigns a percentage weight to each ICFES Saber 11 component depending on the program. You must score at least 31 points in each area for your weighted total to be valid. With all areas cleared, the final score (0–100) determines your ranking on the eligibility list. Exact weights per program are published at inscripciones.uis.edu.co.
Are the UIS cut scores up to date?
The scores published here correspond to the historical range 2017–2025. UIS consolidates a multi-cohort average instead of publishing a fixed per-semester cut. For the current enrollment process, always consult the official call at inscripciones.uis.edu.co.
