Student Admissions 

According to the regulations of ministry of higher education in Jordan, no student with an average less than 80%, in the scientific branch of the Jordanian General High School Exam (JGHSE), or its equivalent exams abroad, is admitted in Chemical Engineering programs. JGHSE is a national examination administered by the Ministry of Education (MoE). Students are admitted to the Chemical Engineering 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 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. 

In the "parallel" track, admission requirement is also a minimum of 80% 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.

The bulk majority of students in the Chemical Engineering program are admitted on a national competition basis. However, exceptions do exist in the form of privileged admissions to sons and daughters of a few selected groups including, for example, the university employees, schoolteachers working at the ministry of education, and students studying at less privileged areas, and members of armed forces, and military. Each of these groups competes separately on a seat block according to preset quotas and all are still subject to the 80% JGHSE score minimum requirements.
