Our decision for admission goes beyond any numerical formula or grade. In addition to the primary criterion of academic excellence, we look for students with high potentialities who can display a high degree of intellectual energy and creativity.
GUC philosophy is to build on the points of strength in students. This will be reflected in the evaluation process of applicants in which the admission decision is not only dependent on the total high school scores, but also on:

  1. The points of strength of students in subjects, where students show intellectual capabilities, as qualifying subjects for studying in the areas of their interest such as Engineering, Biological Science or Management as mentioned below.
 
2. GUC Admission Evaluation includes:
    a. English Language Test
    b. Reasoning Test --> see DEMO here
   
  3. Personal Interview (if necessary) **
   
  ** Authorized by University Council. Carried out in particular cases where there is discrepancy between the applicant's GUC test results and the academic credentials of his certificate.
