The University Entrance Examination or Matriculation Examination (Burmese: တက္ကသိုလ်ဝင်တန်း စာမေးပွဲ) is an academic examination administered to 10th standard students at all schools in Myanmar, including government schools, comprehensive schools and private boarding schools, for students seeking university admission. The test is administered at least 3 weeks after the Basic Education High School Examination.[1] Test results determine the eligibility of high school students to pursue higher education, and their entrance into select universities and majors.
The current college admission system is being revised by the Ministry of Education.[2] Beginning in the 2015-16 academic year, students will be able to sit for entrance exams at the universities of their choice. Further, students will be allowed to retake such exams.[2]
