According to the regulations of ministry
of higher education in Jordan, no student with an average less than 65%, in
the scientific branch of the Jordanian General High School Exam (JGHSE), or
its equivalent exams abroad, is admitted in science programs; such as
computer science, computer information systems, business information
technology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. JGHSE is a national examination
administered by the ministry of education (MoE) and it is locally called
“Tawjihi”. Students are admitted to the CS department according to their
JGHSE exam score.
Two tracks of admission are available:
the competition-based "regular" track and the noncompetition
“parallel" track. Regular track is essentially for Jordanian students
who have high grades, either in the JGHSE or in its equivalent exams abroad.
In this case, students apply through a central admission committee, which
coordinates unified admission to all Jordanian public universities. The
admission is done on a competitive basis. Students with the higher JGHSE
scores will be given priority in admission. Records show that the majority of
accepted students in CS program are on this track, with a JGHSE score above
89% in the past ten years.
In the "parallel" track,
admission requirement is also a minimum of 65% score in JGHSE or equivalent,
where the students apply directly to the university. Student selection and
admission to this track is also competitive based on the JGHSE score or its
equivalent and university’s standards. After admission, students from both
tracks attend the same classes, have the same exams and get the same
certifications. The only difference between the two tracks is that the
parallel track has higher fees than the regular track. Nevertheless, in both
tracks the admission is done on a competitive basis. Students with the higher
grades will be given priority in admission
