What You Need to Pass The TUP College Entrance Test

The Technological University of the Philippines or also known as TUP  is one of the pioneering providers of industrial engineering education in the Philippines. What started as Manila Trade School in 1901 has flourished into one of the country’s go-to institutions for vocational and technological courses.

Though Technological University of the Philippines has 5 satellite schools nationwide, it still keeps its entrance exam centralized. So, that means the official venue for the TUPCET is in its flagship branch along Ermita, Manila.
