The Thai Engineering Programs requires freshman admission through the TCAS system only, the International Engineering Programs provide freshman admission through both TCAS system and Direct Admission system of Mahidol University.
The Thai University Central Admission System or TCAS system has been organized and developed since 2017 by Council of University Presidents of Thailand (CUPT). This system has one admission cycle in a year and consists of 4 rounds of admission in sequence from round 1 to round 4 namely, Portfolio, Quota, Admission and Direct Admission, respectively.

For academic year 2021, around 300,000 nationwide applicants applied in TCAS round 3 in order to be admitted into program selected from total number of 8,371 programs within 81 universities in different professional area including engineering (https://www.mytcas.com/). If the applicants are qualified through the process in each round, they must affirm and claim their own right to stop the TCAS process using the clearing-house system. The qualified applicants that might not satisfied for his/her selected result must give up one’s right before applying to the next round of TCAS.
