Acceptance criteria:
Acceptance in King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences depends on differentiation and competition for available seats each year. The admission to the University is linked to the provisions of Article III in the University Degrees Studying and Tests Regulation. The certain standards set by the University Council and announced at the time of submission and need to be upheld. Admission also depends on Article IV in the Regulations which states that admission relies on differentiation according to grades, personal interviews and entrance tests if applicable.
As approved by the University Council, the admission criteria will be as follows:
- Cumulative percentage of high school certificate.
- Achievement test.
- Aptitude test.
- Personal interview.
These criteria include the following:
- Accumulative percentage of high school certificate grade 35%.
- Aptitude test grade 30%
- Achievement test grade 35%
The rate is calculated based on differentiating between students as follows:
Composite ratio = (Cumulative percentage of high school certificate results × 0.35) + (Aptitude test results × 0.30) + (Achievement test result 0.35)
Example of the method of calculating the ratio:
A student got in his high school certificate (95.00%), in his general aptitude test (85.00%), and in his achievement test (80.00%)
The grades will be calculated as follows: Accumulative grade = (95 × 0.35) + (85 ×0.30) + (80 ×0.35) = 86
This is the ratio to which the differentiation between students is based on and is applicable for those who meet the general admission requirements.
The electronic registration program will then calculate the criteria after which names of students to be interviewed will be posted on the University’s website and through email or contacting the student by the means he/she had specified when applying.
