The Grade 12 students in PNG can check their NOAS selection status to find out if they have been selected in one of their five choices. The 2024 Grade 12 Selections for the 2025 academic year - NOAS Status Check - will be live after the Launch of Selection. That is when the Grade 12 School Leavers selection and Non-school Leavers will know the selection status, and find out if they are in NOAS National Admission Pool. But, what does that mean?
Do not fret. NOAS is an effective system that gives you a second chance. It also assists you to 're-adjust' your choices for the spaces available in the NOAS National Admission Pool. Use it before the final acceptance list PDFs are published.
DHERST NOAS National Admission Pool
It is important to confirm your selection to a higher institution as soon as you can. If you are not selected in one of your five choices, you may be put in the admission pool.
If you are a student on DHERST's admission pool, you'll have to log in to your National Online Selection Account between now and before the academic year 2025 starts to see if you have been offered a placement at a university or college in PNG.
Students in the admission pool have to hope that they are considered for 6,000+ spaces, formally called quotas.
So, keep checking to see if you are one of the lucky ones from the admission pool admitted to a university or college.
Questions about Grade 12 Selections 2024
Here are some questions PNG Insight receives about selections, GPA and Admission Pool for Tertiary Institutions in PNG. We pick three common questions that many students ask and put answers to them.
Important: Note that the answers are based on experience over the years, intended to give clarity to the questions. It is in no way formal advice.
Q. I am not selected and I was put in an admission pull, will the DHERST select me according to my choices?
Brief answer: If you are in the DHERST Admission Pool, it means that you are likely to be considered IF there is a space available in the institution of your choice. Also, your GPA has to be higher than the other students in the pool to maximise your chance of being selected.
Q. I got a GPA of 2.6 and I was not selected by any of those five institutions where I should have been selected because I know that the nursing school's in the country have a minimum GPA of 2.4 and above. Why can't a GPA of 2.6 can be also selected?
Brief answer: Your GPA doesn't automatically guarantee you a selection to one of your 5 choices. Though it is the main selection criteria, there must be a spot available for you to be selected. Also, there are other students who may have a GPA above 2.6 applying to the same institutions or they may have made your second choice their first choice. They have the advantage over you. In the meantime, login to your NOAS Student Account before the academic year starts to confirm your final selection status from the Admission Pool.
Q. My GPA is 2.4 and yet I applied for teachers colleges in PNG that require a current GPA of 2.4 and above. Why I am not selected with such a GPA?
Brief answer: The current GPA of 2.8 for teachers' college is the threshold which is the borderline GPA. If you have a GPA close to the borderline GPA, you are last in the queue during the actual selection and also last in the queue in the Admission Pool. It's sad but true. Those students who have GPAs higher than the threshold with first-choice preference have a higher chance of being selected than those sitting at the borderline GPA.
