The Ministry of Social Affairs will resume the selection procedures for supervisory positions in cooperative societies on Saturday, October 10, by organizing re-examinations for approximately 1,500 applicants at the Gulf University for Science and Technology in the Mubarak Al-Abdullah area.
The exams will begin at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 4:00 p.m., according to a specific schedule assigned to each applicant, with one hour allocated for each position. Applicants were previously notified of their attendance times via text messages.
The ministry has instructed applicants to arrive half an hour before their scheduled exam time and to bring their original civil ID or an official document proving their identity. Gate 1 has been designated for entry to the examination venue, located in Hall N3-201-A.
Regulatory instructions emphasize that no applicant will be permitted to enter the hall after the exam has commenced, in order to adhere to the set schedule and ensure the orderly conduct of the examinations for all candidates.
The exams cover several supervisory positions within the cooperative sector, including the General Manager of the Cooperative Society, the Deputy General Manager for Commercial and Marketing Affairs, the Deputy General Manager for Financial and Administrative Affairs, as well as heads of the Purchasing, Accounting, Computer Science, Administrative Affairs, Public Relations, and Legal Affairs departments.
The decision to hold re-examinations follows concerns raised about the previous round, which saw high failure rates. The ministry has decided to offer the exam again to all applicants under standardized procedures and specific regulations, ensuring that selection criteria are applied equally to everyone.
