Admission FAQ

Does UTP require a proprietary exam in addition to ICFES?
No. UTP uses the ICFES Saber 11 global score (0–500 scale) directly to assign spots. There is no additional entrance exam. Historical data shown is from 2021; always check the current call at registro.utp.edu.co before applying.
Why do UTP cut scores seem low compared to other universities?
Because UTP uses the ICFES global score on a 0–500 scale, while universities like UdeA or UPTC use their own 0–100 scales. A cut of 389/500 at UTP corresponds roughly to the 80th percentile on Colombia's national ICFES results.
