Centralized Tansik System: Admission to undergraduate programs is done through the Tansik system, where students are placed based on their Thanaweya Amma (high school diploma) scores. The acceptance rate for Egyptian students can vary significantly:
Competitive programs like Medicine, Pharmacy, and Engineering typically have lower acceptance rates due to high demand and limited seats, with only students achieving high scores in the Thanaweya Amma gaining admission.
Less competitive programs, such as Arts, Social Sciences, and Education, generally have higher acceptance rates, with more available spots.
For International Students:
Higher Acceptance Rates: International students typically have a higher acceptance rate as long as they meet the minimum academic qualifications (equivalent to Thanaweya Amma or other recognized international diplomas, such as IB, IGCSE, or American High School Diploma).

As long as the required qualifications are met, the acceptance rate for international students can be 60% to 80%, particularly in non-competitive faculties.
Postgraduate Programs:
Master's and Ph.D. programs tend to have higher acceptance rates than undergraduate programs, particularly for research-based programs. However, admissions are still dependent on the availability of supervisors, research interests, and academic performance during prior studies.
