Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for generating a hybrid Polar code. The method includes: obtaining a first matrix of N×N and a sequence that includes N bits, N rows of the first matrix correspond to the N bits in the sequence in a one-to-one manner, and N is a positive integer; determining reliability of the N bits, and determining the weight of each row in the N rows of the first matrix; selecting, according to the reliability of the N bits and the weight of the N rows of the first matrix, K bits among the N bits as information bits, or selecting, according to the reliability of the N bits and the weight of the N rows of the first matrix, K rows of the first matrix to construct a second matrix of K×N used for encoding.
