Pisay Main Campus Principal and Alternate Qualifiers

After the Philippine Science National Competitive Exam, all the test takers are ranked from highest to lowest based on their total score.

The average score of each subject (Math, Science, English, and Abstract) and the average total score of all the test takers define the national average scores.

The top 240 students whose scores in each subject are above or equal to the respective national averages shall be considered as PRINCIPAL QUALIFIERS for the Main Campus.

In case of ties in the total score for the 240th spot, the subject scores shall be considered in the following order: Math, Science, Abstract, and English.

Philippine Science Main Campus usually gives these 240 lucky students until Jan 31 of the following year to decide and confirm their enrollment.  Of course, not all of the 240 principal qualifiers will take their spot at the Main Campus because some of them will opt to enroll in their chosen regional campuses or not enroll at all.   So some of the 240 slots will be free up.

The freed up spots will then be allocated to the ALTERNATE QUALIFIERS.

Usually, Philippine Science Main Campus will contact these alternate qualifiers starting mid-Feb all the way thru end of July.

To be considered an alternate qualifier, the total score of the student must be equal or higher than the national average total score and his/her respective scores in Math and Science must be above the national average and his/her scores in English and Abstract must be at least 90% of the national average.
All the eligible alternate qualifiers who have chosen the Main Campus in their application will be ranked from highest to lowest.  The number of available slots available to the alternate qualifiers will depend on the number of slots vacated by the principal qualifiers.

Again, in case of ties, the subject scores shall be considered in the same order: Math, Science, Abstract, and English. 

So, if you didn't see your name at the initial list of Pisay Qualifiers, don't be disheartened.   You still have a chance to be offered a slot in the coming months, provided you meet the above criteria.
