Dr. Hamad bin Khalfan Al Numani, Director General of the Unified Admission Centre, said that the number of students admitted to governmental higher education institutions, internal and external scholarships and grants reached 27,629 students.

Al Numani indicated that governmental higher education institutions saw 55.6 percent of the total admissions, and the percentage of those accepted in internal scholarships reached 42.2 percent of the total number of accepted students. The percentage of those accepted in external scholarships reached 2.2 percent.

The percentage of occupied seats amounted to 93 percent of the total number of available seats. The high percentage of accepted students is due to the intensity of competition because of the high final rates of successful applicants in the unified admission system. 7 percent of academic seats have become vacant due to an insufficient number of students who fulfill the admission requirements.

Al Numani explained that the process for completing registration procedures for accepted students will be available from Thursday morning, corresponding to August 17, 2023 until 2:30 pm on Wednesday, corresponding
