Admission is not gained through the joint university entrance exam, so NTIT is less well-known than other schools. Entrance requirements are graduation from a technical or vocational school, a special exam, and for men, completion of military service.
因為學校只招收專科畢業生（男生必須役畢），並不參加一般大專院校聯合招生，所以「知名度」不如其他的大學。
