UTCB Grants for Tuition-Fee Places
The Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest awards 25 institutional grants for tuition-fee places within each faculty. These grants are a form of financial support provided by UTCB, through which the tuition fee is fully covered by the university, meaning that the beneficiary does not have to pay tuition fees. The grants are awarded after both admission sessions have been completed, based on the ranking of candidates admitted to tuition-fee places, in descending order of their admission averages and within the number of grants available for each study programme. Candidates admitted to tuition-fee places who have not previously attended another university study programme at another university may benefit from these grants. To be considered for a grant, candidates admitted to tuition-fee places must confirm their place by:- paying the enrolment fee;
- paying the first instalment of the tuition fee, in accordance with the university’s fee regulations.

What does “Eligible” mean?
After the registration period closes, all validated files become eligible. “Eligible” means that your file has been accepted to proceed within the admission process, in accordance with the stages set out in the admission calendar.
When does the examination ID appear?
The examination ID is generated once your file becomes eligible. It is available in your personal account on the platform and is used for identification and the communication of results.
Can I modify my options?
Yes, until your file is validated and no later than the official closing of the registration period (as specified in the calendar). After registration closes, options can no longer be modified.
How many options may I select? Do I pay for each option?
You may select as many options as permitted by the platform and the applicable regulations. The registration fee is paid only once, regardless of the number of options selected.
Can I view the documents uploaded and the options selected?
Yes. Your personal account allows you to review the completed data, uploaded documents, and selected options.

- in your personal account on admitereonline.utcb.ro;

How do I submit an appeal?

What should I do if I encounter a technical issue on the platform?
First, consult the video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-HzCuDLCoY. If the issue persists, send an email to secretariat@utcb.ro, indicating your full name and examination ID (if already assigned).
Is admission organized by study programme or by field of study?
Admission is organized at the level of the field of study. The selected field has priority in the ranking process; your programme options within that field are applied based on your admission average and the available places.
How do priorities work if I select options from different fields of study?
The field of study takes precedence. Ranking is conducted primarily within the priority field selected. If you choose options from another field, these may have lower priority compared to your main field, in accordance with the Regulation on the Organization of the Admission Competition.
When do I officially enter the admission competition?
After your file becomes eligible, you must submit the original baccalaureate diploma (the document on the basis of which you participate in the competition). Only upon submission of the original diploma is your file considered officially entered into the admission competition.
What happens if I am eligible but do not submit the original baccalaureate diploma on time?
If the original diploma is not submitted within the deadline specified in the calendar, your file will not enter the competition and you may be declared rejected, as you have not fulfilled the mandatory participation requirement.
When is the ranking of candidates conducted?
Ranking is carried out after formal entry into the competition (i.e., eligibility + submission of the original diploma), based on the selected field of study and the admission average.
How is the general admission average for undergraduate studies calculated?
The average is calculated based on the results obtained at the baccalaureate examination, expressed with two decimal places, without rounding.
What is the minimum admission average?
The minimum general admission average is 6.00.
Field of “Engineering Sciences”: how is the average calculated?
For programmes within the Engineering Sciences field, the admission average equals the arithmetic mean of:
- the overall baccalaureate average; and
- the grade obtained in Mathematics at the baccalaureate examination;
however, it may not be lower than the overall baccalaureate average.
(In practical terms, the admission average is at least equal to the baccalaureate average.)
If I did not take Mathematics at the baccalaureate (Engineering Sciences)?
In this case, the admission average equals the overall baccalaureate average.
Field of “Applied Modern Languages”: how is the average calculated?
For programmes within the Humanities and Arts field, the admission average equals the arithmetic mean of:
- the overall baccalaureate average; and
- the grade obtained in Romanian Language at the baccalaureate examination;
however, it may not be lower than the overall baccalaureate average.
If I did not take Romanian Language at the baccalaureate (Humanities and Arts)?
In this case, the admission average equals the overall baccalaureate average.
What statuses may appear after the competition?
Following ranking, your status may become “Admitted” or “Rejected,” depending on the applicable regulations and the availability of places. The examination ID remains unchanged throughout the entire process.
What follows after being declared “Admitted”?
The next stage is enrolment, immediately following the competition (in accordance with the calendar). During this stage, original documents must be submitted and the required payments must be made (e.g., the enrolment fee of RON 150 and, where applicable, the first installment of the tuition fee for tuition-based places), as specified in the published instructions.
Who verifies my file?
Files are reviewed by the admission committees or sub-committees, which validate the submitted documents and the accuracy of the provided information.
Can I change my options after submitting the original baccalaureate diploma?
No. After the registration period has closed and the competition stages have commenced, options may no longer be modified, in accordance with the regulations and the admission calendar.
If I apply for a foreign-language-taught programme, what must I demonstrate?
You must demonstrate proficiency in the language of instruction by means of:
- educational documents issued in the respective language (from Romania or abroad); or
- an internationally recognized language proficiency certificate.
What if I do not hold educational documents in the respective language and do not possess an international certificate?
In this case, you must take a qualifying language proficiency test, assessed as “pass/fail.” The result of this test does not contribute to the admission average.
Which certificates are accepted (common examples)?
For English (examples): Cambridge PET/FCE/CAE/CPE, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Pearson PTE, Trinity ISE, ECL, as well as a B2-level language certificate obtained at the baccalaureate examination or certificates issued by bilingual high school programmes (in accordance with the regulation).
For French: DELF/DALF, TCF, TEF, TFI, as well as a B2-level certificate obtained at the baccalaureate examination or certificates issued by bilingual high school programmes (in accordance with the regulation).
For French: DELF/DALF, TCF, TEF, TFI, as well as a B2-level certificate obtained at the baccalaureate examination or certificates issued by bilingual high school programmes (in accordance with the regulation).
Where can I find the complete list of accepted certificates?
In the Regulation on the Organization of the Undergraduate Admission Competition – section concerning language proficiency and programmes taught in international languages.
