Muscat: The Higher Education Admission Centre (HEAC) at the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation today announced the list of students selected to undergo admission tests, personal interviews, and medical examinations for 123 academic programs requiring these assessments for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The centre contacted 6,367 male and female students via SMS to notify them of the programs they have been shortlisted for and to provide them with necessary guidelines and information for this stage. The total number of available seats across these programs is 2,617.
The center clarified that being shortlisted does not guarantee admission into a program. Final acceptance depends on the results of interviews, tests, or medical examinations as determined by the educational institution, the number of available seats, and the student’s competitive scores compared to other successful candidates. Additionally, failure to attend the interview or test—whether due to travel or other reasons—will be considered a withdrawal from the selection process for these programs.
The preference modification phase for the 2025/2026 academic year concluded last Thursday, with a total of 43,060 successful applicants registered—20,081 male and 22,979 female students.
The center will announce the results of the initial sorting on the evening of Tuesday, 19 August 2025. Students will then have until 12:00 PM on Sunday, 25 August to complete their registration procedures at higher education institutions.
