Is 63.05 the ATAR my child needs for Bachelor of Information Technology at JCU?

A selection rank is the ATAR plus any adjustment factors (for example subject, equity or regional adjustments), so some students were offered a place with a raw ATAR below 63.05. It is a guide to competition for that intake, not a guaranteed entry score, and it changes each year.

Of the 6 QLD universities in our data with a published lowest selection rank for a Bachelor of Information Technology, JCU had the 4th highest. The highest was UQ at 85.90 (2026).
