The short version
Four-year technical and two-year junior college programs (四技二專, 科技校院四年制及專科學校二年制) have several routes: selection admission (甄選入學), day-division joint placement (聯合登記分發), two routes for students with outstanding technical skills (技優保送 and 技優甄審), and four-year technical Personal Application, which uses GSAT scores. The unified entrance exam (四技二專統一入學測驗, 統測) is on 24 to 25 April 2027. Registration runs from 9 am on 9 December to 5 pm on 21 December 2026, and scores are posted at 2 pm on 13 May 2027. Joint placement uses raw 統測 scores, and its results are posted at 10 am on 5 August.
The 統測 exam
The unified entrance exam for four-year and two-year technical programs (統測) is run by the technical college entrance testing center, a foundation (財團法人技專校院入學測驗中心基金會).
- Registration 9 am on 9 December to 5 pm on 21 December 2026.
- Exam 24 to 25 April 2027.
- Scores posted 2 pm, 13 May 2027.
Good to know: The 統測 subjects for each program group, the registration fee and the exam timetable are published by the testing center. We could not reach its website when we checked, so they are not on this page yet. The testing center's website is the official version.

The Star Plan for universities of technology
There is also a Star Plan for universities of technology (科技校院繁星計畫聯合推薦甄選入學). A student can be recommended for either this or the university Star Plan (大學繁星推薦), not both. When we checked, we could not find its 116 school year timeline, so this page does not list its dates.
