Welcome to the Pamantasan -- where the brightest scholars from the financially-strapped spectrum of the society are educated and steeped in golden values to become "pantas" or "men of enlightenment and wisdom."
PLM is a pioneer, a leader, and a model institution of higher learning in the Philippines.
PLM is acknowledged as the premier scholars' university of the capital city of the Philippines whose academic excellence the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) recognizes as "beyond reproach and a class by itself."
“Another fruitful year well spent. An uphill battle worth fighting for. Landmark achievements worth vying for.” This set of dictum characterizes our common quest for a better quality of life for ourselves and our loved ones, as well as the institution that is closest to our hearts -- the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.
Today, in the hallowed grounds of the academe, the air is filled with the unmistakable aura of success and the jubilant celebration of the laurels earned by the “toils, sweat and tears” of our community of scholars. It is the culmination of the crowning glory of our times, so intricately carved on the niche of PLM’s history as a cradle of our enlightened quest for true knowledge and wisdom.
To be sure, we are surrounded by such lovely faces whose wonderful gift is to discover and optimize their potential left hidden in the past. The road to success, however, is not sweet and easy. It is impeded by obstacles, from the smallest to the grandest, that may painfully erode our passion and fighting spirit to go head on and reach the apex of success. [More]

PLM comes a long way in translating into reality the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the scholars who hail from the financially-strapped spectrum of the society. It is but fitting that the youth of Manila come to PLM to fulfill the Filipino dream.
With its public service orientation and advocacy, PLM may be the last frontier of knowledge in the country.

As the highest student government in PLM, the Supreme Student Council is at the forefront of advancing student rights and welfare. The SSC and the college student councils, enjoying as they do a mandate from their constituents, serve as a training ground for responsible and competent leadership.
The PLMAT is a 2-hour examination consisting of sub-tests on language proficiency, reading comprehension, mathematics, science, and reasoning, written in English and Filipino. Processing usually starts on the 2nd week of November, and administered in December and January.
An applicant's score is weighted against a standardized PLMAT score. If the score satisfies the suggested cut-off score, the examinee successfully qualifies for enrollment.
The range of cut-off scores approximates the applicants' expected performance in the University. Examinees who successfully achieve a score that is equal to or better than the standardized cut-off score are expected to exude the capacity to hurdle the rigors of an excellent yet exacting university scholarship at PLM.
