This study aimed to determine the level of acceptance of NVSU College Admission Test (NCAT) for Engineering courses, specifically their profile and the factors affecting their NCAT average. The study utilized 261 Engineering NCAT examinees as the respondents. Descriptive survey method was used to analyze and determine the demographic profile and the NCAT average of the examinees. Purposive sampling was used to obtain the sample data size. The surveyed data were interpreted through frequency and percentage and also correlation and regression analysis to determine the factors affecting the average of NCAT examinees. The researchers request some of the data from the first-year advisers through request letter and the other remaining data were gathered through questionnaires. Results showed that the acceptance of NCAT for engineering courses is most preferably at the IQ level average of. Another basis is the senior high school GPA which is preferably an outstanding grade which is 90%. In addition, the NCAT examinee should be a STEM in his/her previous senior high school.
