Al-Tatbiqi: Acceptance of 13,495 students for the upcoming academic semesters

The Director General of the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training, Dr. Hassan Al-Fajam, approved the admission results for 13,495 male and female students in the authority’s colleges, institutes, and specialized training courses for the first and second academic semesters of the 2026–2027 academic and training year, for holders of the secondary school certificate.

In a press statement on Wednesday evening, Dean of Admissions and Registration Dr. Mohammed Al-Kandari clarified that admissions were conducted in accordance with the approved admission plan, governing regulations, minimum admission scores, applicants’ preference rankings, and seat availability.

He noted that the total number of admitted students reached 13,495 out of 14,638 applicants, with 8,932 admitted for the first semester and 4,563 for the second semester.

Dr. Al-Kandari pointed out that admission to the College of Nursing and certain majors in the College of Health Sciences required passing the aptitude test and a personal interview, as these are mandatory requirements for these specialties.

Regarding the College of Basic Education, he explained that admitted students will undergo personal interviews, with the college responsible for determining and announcing the interview schedules.

He urged admitted students to confirm their acceptance no later than Saturday, September 5, via the authority’s website or the “Sahl” app, emphasizing that failure to confirm acceptance within the specified deadline will result in automatic cancellation of admission.

He further clarified that fixed academic schedules for new students will be prepared and distributed according to majors, colleges, and institutes, ensuring students can begin their studies smoothly from the start of the semester.

All admitted students were encouraged to follow official announcements and instructions through the authority’s and its colleges’ and institutes’ official channels to stay updated on any developments regarding counseling procedures, personal interviews, academic schedules, and the start of classes.

Concerning the Fire Engineering Technology major, Dr. Al-Kandari stated that final admission results will be announced later in coordination with the General Fire Force. He urged students who were contacted to temporarily confirm their acceptance into an alternative major, noting that those ultimately admitted to Fire Engineering Technology will be allowed to transfer to that major. Students not admitted to the specialty will have the option to continue in the alternative major or cancel their admission.
