Sana'a - Saba:
Minister of Education and Scientific Research, Hassan Al-Saadi, reviewed on Wednesday the progress of the competitive qualification exams for free university seats in Yemeni universities for the academic year 1447 AH. A total of 8,410 male and female students applied for the exams, including 2,685 female students.
Accompanied by Dr. Ibrahim Luqman, Undersecretary of Higher Education and member of the Supervisory Committee, Dr. Mohammed Al-Bukhayti, President of Sana'a University, and Hassan Ezzuddin, another member of the committee, the minister observed the competency exams for students competing for free seats in engineering, computer science, administrative, and humanities disciplines. These exams were taken by 3,138 students, including 608 female students.
They were briefed by Yahya Abdulqadir, head of the Technical Committee, Omar Al-Ansi, a committee member, and officials from Sana'a University’s Electronic Testing Center on the measures taken to facilitate the exams. Students were distributed across four daily sessions, starting from 8:30 AM until 3:00 PM.
It was confirmed that Thursday has been designated as an opportunity for all delayed applicants—including those who registered on the electronic portal but were unable to complete payment, as well as students arriving from other provinces—to take the exams. This ensures equal opportunity for all, with 20,095 male and female students expected to participate.
Minister Al-Saadi praised the efforts of the supervisory and technical committees in preparing and organizing the exams for the 4,000 free seats available in medical, engineering, computer science, administrative, humanities fields across public and private universities.
He also commended the capabilities of Sana'a University’s Testing Center, which has seen significant advancements and is equipped with 1,500 computers, accommodating over 1,000 students per session.
For his part, the President of Sana'a University emphasized that the competitive exams and result announcements are conducted electronically, allowing students to view their results immediately after completion. This ensures integrity, transparency, and fairness by eliminating human intervention in the evaluation process.
