On the first day (the day before yesterday), 108 students managed to enter the Faculty of Medical Sciences with a minimum passing score of 16.33 out of 20, 61 students entered the Faculty of Dentistry with a minimum score approval rate of 13.26 out of 20 and 63 students to enter the Faculty of Pharmacy with a minimum pass rate of 12.6 out of 20 On the second day (yesterday), the committee maintained the same averages in the three races, but 146 students won for enter the Faculty of Medicine, that is, an increase of 38 students, and 83 students in the Faculty of Dentistry, that is, an increase of 22 students, and 76 students in pharmacy, that is, an increase of 13 students. That the number of admitted to the Faculty of Medicine has become 170 students! If the children of the 24 successful teachers are added (since these are generally not included in the order of student success), although the specific number required before the match was held was 100 students.

The examining committee clarified in the minutes issued shortly after a meeting yesterday that the modification of the results was due to “an error in the correction of the competence of the French language, which is summarized in a severe decrease in the qualifications of this language against English competition, which caused a defect in the results of the game in general. ” Consequently, the committee re-classified the French questionnaire and corrected it according to the list of correct answers.
Shortly after its first launch yesterday night, the committee was quick to comment on the results, according to Dean of the Faculty of Sciences Bassam Badran, after receiving complaints from students about doubts about the averages, and reviewing the matter, it became clear that there was an error in the answer key for the French language quiz it contains. Multiple Choice Questions (QCM) are electronically corrected. And it turned out that the approved password is the English language password, not French. Badran indicated that the French and English competitions were corrected again and the last results remained the same. With the amendment of the scores of the French contest, he said, the previous averages were approved and the ranking was changed, and thus all the students who took the approved average in each of the three majors and above returned and were successful. ” Read the full article Press here.
