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.
