The Education Ministry said on the 28th it has finalized medical school enrollment quotas for the 2027-2031 academic years without changes from its previously announced plan.
For the 2027 academic year, total medical school enrollment will be 3,548, up 490 from 3,058 in the 2024 academic year before the expansion. Kangwon National University and Chungbuk National University will see the largest increases, with 39 additional seats each.
The ministry issued a preliminary notice of the quota allocations on March 13 and collected feedback from universities through March 24, then formally notified schools of the quotas on March 26. It accepted objections through April 27.
"Some universities submitted opinions and filed objections regarding the preliminary notice of the quota allocations, but the allocation committee decided not to accept them after review," the ministry said.
With the quotas finalized, universities will revise their school regulations by May and proceed with steps such as updating their 2027 college admissions implementation plans.
