General Eligibility Criteria for Applicants Seeking Admission:

Applications for admission and academic placement at Ibb University must be submitted within the officially announced time frame through the electronic g.oasyemen.net/portal/step1.php?unid=1..

The General Secondary School Certificate must not be more than six (6) years old. Accordingly, the most recent certificate eligible for admission and placement is for the 2014–2015 academic year, with the exception of certain humanities disciplines that are not subject to competitive entrance examinations, for which certificates up to ten (10) years old may be accepted.

If the applicant has obtained a qualification subsequent to the General Secondary School Certificate, the validity period of the secondary certificate shall be calculated from the date of obtaining the most recent qualification, provided that:

  • The duration of study in the subsequent qualification is not less than two academic years, and
  • The qualification is compatible with the applicant’s intended field of study and secondary school average.

The applicant’s General Secondary School average must meet the minimum required average for admission and placement in the academic programs they wish to apply for.

Applicants shall be required to sit for competitive entrance examinations in faculties and specializations where such examinations are mandated.

Placement fees must be paid at the nearest branch of CAC Bank or via the Mobile Money application using the automated deposit reference number generated by the electronic portal. After payment, the placement card must be printed from the portal and retained. One of the following documents must be presented to enter the competitive examinations:

  • The original national identity card or the original national ID application form, or
  • The original General Secondary School Certificate.

Applicants must enter their personal mobile phone numbers during registration on the electronic portal to ensure effective communication throughout the admission and placement period, as well as during their university studies after admission.

Applicants may apply for placement in more than one specialization and more than one faculty, provided that the placement fee is paid for each selected option during the placement period. In the event that competitive examinations are unified across multiple specializations or faculties, this shall not affect the number of options selected, as the examination score will be automatically recorded for all chosen preferences.

Applicants holding General Secondary School Certificates obtained outside Yemen who wish to apply for admission and placement at the university must have their certificates authenticated by the Ministry of Education in Sana’a, then report to the Vice Presidency for Student Affairs for placement procedures, bringing the original certificate and a copy of their passport, within the officially announced admission period.

Applicants holding General Secondary School Certificates from the occupied governorates (from the 2015–2016 academic year onward) who wish to apply for placement at Ibb University must have their certificates authenticated by the Ministry of Education in Sana’a, then report to the Vice Presidency for Student Affairs for placement procedures, bringing the original certificate within the designated admission period.

Applicants who encounter difficulties in submitting placement applications may contact the General Administration of Systems and Information at the Vice Presidency for Student Affairs for assistance.
