AMMAN — The spokesperson of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Muhannad Al-Khatib, has stated that the decision made by the Higher Education Council to raise the minimum GPA requirements for students pursuing medical and dental specialties in foreign universities (outside Jordan) is aimed at ensuring that students meet the necessary academic standards before enrolling in these institutions.اضافة اعلان

Khatib further explained that private Jordanian universities have been exempted from the GPA requirement increase, with their admission standards remaining at 90 percent, Jo24 reported. This exception is due to the fact that private universities in Jordan are under the direct supervision of the Ministry.

Additionally, admission for medical and dental students in these private institutions has been restricted, with 40 percent of slots allocated for Jordanian students and 60 percent for foreign students.

He emphasized that the ministry is closely monitoring the admission process for medical and dental students in private universities. They will strictly enforce the specified admission percentages as per the licenses granted to these institutions.
