What is the CSCA Exam? A Guide for 2026 Applicants

From the 2026 undergraduate intake, most international students applying to Chinese universities must take the CSCA — the China Scholastic Competency Assessment, introduced by the China Scholarship Council together with Chinese universities.

The CSCA assesses your Chinese language proficiency and academic readiness for your intended major, and universities use the results for admission and scholarship decisions.

Our CSCA Preparation Course covers the language component, the required academic subjects, exam strategy and full mock tests — online or on-campus in Islamabad.
