University recruitment points calculator (Poland)
Want to know how many recruitment points you can score? This calculator estimates points based on your matura results (basic level, extended level, foreign language) and the type of university. The algorithm uses typical weightings applied at technical universities (politechnika), medical schools, humanities and economics faculties. The result helps you estimate your chances and plan your application in the IRK system.

How recruitment points are calculated
The calculator uses: Points = extended_result × weight_E + basic_result × weight_B + language_result × weight_L. Weights by university type: - Technical (politechnika): extended 0.6, basic 0.1, language 0.1 (max 80 pts) - Medical: extended 0.5, basic 0.1, language 0.1 (max 70 pts) - Humanities: extended 0.4, basic 0.2, language 0.2 (max 80 pts) - Economics: extended 0.5, basic 0.15, language 0.15 (max 80 pts) Admission chances: high >= 80 pts, average >= 60 pts, low < 60 pts. Note: each university may use different weights. Check the official recruitment rules on the university website or in the IRK system.
Example: extended matura 80%, basic 70%, language 85%, technical university
For a technical university (weights: extended 0.6, basic 0.1, language 0.1): points = 80 × 0.6 + 70 × 0.1 + 85 × 0.1 = 48 + 7 + 8.5 = 63.5 pts. Admission chances: average (60-79 pts). To improve your chances — focus on extended subject results, which carry the highest weights.
Frequently asked questions
How are recruitment points calculated for Polish universities?
Each university sets its own algorithm, but typically includes extended matura results for key subjects (weight ~0.4-0.6), basic level (weight 0.1-0.2) and foreign language (weight 0.1-0.2). The total usually maxes out at 100 points.
What is the IRK system?
IRK (Internetowa Rejestracja Kandydatow — Online Candidate Registration) is a national university application system used by many Polish universities. Candidates register online, enter matura results and the system calculates points and processes admissions.
How many points are needed for a Polish polytechnic?
Thresholds vary greatly by programme. Computer science at top polytechnics may require 70-85 pts, civil engineering 50-65 pts. This calculator gives estimates — check current thresholds on the specific university website.
Which subjects count for medical school admission?
Medical schools prioritise extended biology and chemistry results. The algorithm assigns these subjects the highest weights (up to 0.5 per extended subject). Foreign language and basic matura complement the points total.
Does the basic matura level affect recruitment points?
Yes, but with a lower weight than extended. At humanities universities the basic weight may be 0.2, at technical 0.1. If you passed extended subjects above 30%, it is usually not worth taking only basic level.
What is extended matura and why is it important?
Extended matura is the advanced part of the state exam in chosen subjects, testing deep knowledge and skills. Universities assign it the highest weight in recruitment — results from extended subjects account for 40-60% of total points.
How can I increase my university admission chances?
Focus on the extended subjects required for your chosen programme, aim for results above 70%. Apply to several universities and programmes of similar profile. Review historical score thresholds — published on university websites after each recruitment round.
When does university recruitment open in Poland?
Full-time programme recruitment typically runs from mid-June (after matura results are announced) to the end of July. Supplementary recruitment takes place in August. Dates are announced by IRK and universities — check the current schedule.
Are results from all matura subjects counted?
No — universities usually count only results from specified subjects listed in the recruitment rules for each programme. For example, computer science counts maths and physics; medicine counts biology and chemistry. Check the specific programme rules.
Is the calculator result an official admission decision?
No — the calculator provides an indicative estimate based on typical algorithms. Each university has its own rules and weights. To get an exact result, log in to the IRK system of the specific university and enter your matura results.
The result is an estimate and is not an official recruitment outcome. The algorithm is simplified — each university sets its own rules and weights. Check the current recruitment rules on the university website and in the IRK system.
