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."
Maligayang bati sa lahat ng bumubuo at kapanalig ng Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.
Sa pagsapit ng ika-45 taong anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag ng ating Pamantasan, lubos ang aking paniniwala na lalo pa nating mapagtitibay ang mga nasimulang pamantayan ng karunungan, kaunlaran at kadakilaan.
Tinatawag na sapphire anniversary ang ating pagdiriwang ngayong taon. Ang sapiro ay itinuturing na isang mamahaling bato at namumukod tangi sa kanyang kinang at ganda. Tulad sa isang sapiro, sana'y maging isang hiyas ang ating Pamantasan sa paghubog ng marami pang mga mamamayang Pilipino.
Tulad sa sapiro na nagbibigay ng kakaibang pagmamalaki sa sinumang magsusuot nito, sana'y taas-noo at maging hayagan ang ating pagyakap sa ating pananagutan na kumalinga at magmalasakit sa kapakanan ng ating kapwa at sa lipunan na ating kinabibilangan dito sa lungsod ng Maynila, o sa iba pang bahagi ng Pilipinas, at maging sa ibayong dako ng mundo.

[Message on the 45th foundation anniversary of PLM, 17-19 June 2010]
As then-PLM President, Adel Tamano was in-charge of 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.

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 3-hour examination consisting of sub-tests on language proficiency, reading comprehension, mathematics, science, and reasoning, written in English and Filipino. Processing usually starts in 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.
