Deadlines

  1. 17 November 2026

    First round: application deadline
    Details

    From PolyU's "Ug Admissions 2027/28 — International & Chinese Mainland Non-JEE Applicants" timeline: applications start 23 September 2026, the Early Round application deadline is 17 November 2026, and Early Round admission announcements run from late December 2026 onwards. PolyU states that "applicants without decisions will be considered in subsequent round in competition with other applicants", so this is a priority date rather than a closing one. PolyU publishes the timeline as an image on its key-dates page.

    Main round: application deadline
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Rolling until 14 May 2027 if places remain.

    Published on the same image timeline as "Main Round Application Deadline — 11 Feb 2027", with admission announcements from late February 2027 onwards. The consequence is priority rather than hard because PolyU's own footnote says applications received after the main round deadline "will still be considered on a rolling basis till 14 May 2027, subject to the availability of study places" — so 14 May 2027 is the real end of the cycle, and it still falls before IB results on 6 July 2027. PolyU adds that "if there is no news by mid-July, you should assume that your application is unsuccessful".
