What are the admission requirements at Najran University?
Najran University is a public university in the city of Najran, and its Applied College offers diplomas in Najran and Sharurah. It has 41 programmes in 14 college groups, from medicine, pharmacy, engineering and computer science to Sharia, languages and business administration. Most science majors are entered through a health, engineering or computing track. Here are the majors by college and the score formula for each, as published in the colleges and majors guide of the Deanship of Admission and Registration.
Najran University publishes the following admission rules2, which we carry over as the official page states them:
- The qualifying score at Najran University is 30% secondary school, 30% Qudrat and 40% Tahsili.
- The qualifying score is used for the health, engineering and computing tracks, for interior design and nursing, and for chemistry, physics, biology and mathematical sciences.
- The weighted score for the other bachelor majors is 40% secondary school and 60% Qudrat, with no Tahsili.
- Diploma majors at the Applied College have their own weighted score from secondary school and Qudrat.
- Nursing and interior design admit you directly, without a track.
- You can view your qualifying and weighted score through an e-service on the university portal after signing in with your university account or Nafath.
What are the tracks at Najran University and which majors do they lead to?
The Najran University colleges and majors guide splits its science programmes into three tracks. The health track leads to medicine and surgery, pharmacy, dental medicine and surgery, physical therapy, radiological sciences and clinical laboratory sciences. The engineering track leads to mechanical, civil, electrical and chemical engineering and architecture. The computing track leads to computer science, information systems, computer networks and cybersecurity.2
That means you do not pick medicine or civil engineering on application day; you pick the track, then compete for a major inside it. If you are aiming for one specific major inside a track, everything you do in the first year counts.2
Which Najran University majors do not require a track?
Nursing at the College of Nursing and interior design at the College of Engineering are listed in the guide as not requiring tracks. You are admitted to the major itself from the start instead of entering a general track and waiting for placement. Admission to both still uses the qualifying score, which includes Tahsili.2
How are the qualifying and weighted scores calculated at Najran University?
Najran University uses two formulas. The first is the qualifying score: 30% secondary GPA, 30% Qudrat and 40% Tahsili, used for the three tracks, nursing, interior design, chemistry, physics, biology and mathematical sciences. The second is the bachelor weighted score: 40% secondary and 60% Qudrat, used for the other majors such as Sharia, languages, business administration and education.2
The practical takeaway: Tahsili carries the biggest weight in the formula for health, engineering and computing majors, while Qudrat is the heaviest for the other majors. Split your preparation time according to the major you want.2
Which Applied College diplomas are offered in Najran and Sharurah?
The Applied College offers diplomas in programming and databases, information systems, accounting, business administration, business intelligence and data analytics, and innovation and entrepreneurship management, all available in Najran and Sharurah. The technical support and applied marketing diplomas are offered in Najran only. Admission uses a diploma-specific weighted score.2
How do I check my qualifying and weighted score at Najran University?
The university has an e-service called viewing the qualifying and weighted score. You go to the university website, sign in with your university account or through Nafath, then pick the service from the e-services section. It helps you see whether you meet the admission requirements before you apply.3
If you are aiming for medicine, engineering or computer science at Najran, Tahsili is your most important test because it is 40% of your score. If you are aiming for Sharia, languages or business administration, focus on Qudrat because it is 60% of the weighted score.
