Dr. Al-Milhem stated that on-site monitoring of the exams allows for direct observation of the workflow and direct communication with students, their parents, and the supervising committees, as well as listening to their feedback, which contributes to refining and facilitating procedures and enhancing coordination among the entities involved in organizing the exams.

She commended the efforts of the teams and committees working to organize and monitor the exams, highlighting their cooperation and coordination to ensure their regularity, and wished the university’s students success and achievement in their academic journey.
