This qualitative research aims to find out whether natural talents and interest of students based on NCAE result match the program they have enrolled in. One hundred sixteen first year students were involved in this study, 61 of whom were from the College of Computer Studies while 55 were from the College of Engineering. Analysis and findings of this study were based on the data obtained from the University's guidance office on the respondents' National Career Assessment Exam Results. It was found out that most of the respondents chose to enroll in programs that do not match their occupational field of interest. It further revealed that majority of the first year students from both College of Engineering and Computer Studies were seen to have the potential of becoming successful in other fields.
