Egypt's Ministry of Higher Education releases student guides for 2026/27 university admission coordination
Egypt's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, led by Minister Abdelaziz Qansowa, has issued a series of guidance documents to assist secondary‑school students with the electronic university admission coordination process for the 2026/27 academic year. The guides, presented in a Q&A format, explain how to log in to the coordination portal using the seat number and password, the steps for registering preferences, and the rules governing preference ordering, geographic distribution, result announcement, and special admission categories such as language streams, disability, and other special groups.
The portal allows each applicant to submit up to 75 programme preferences, to print a receipt showing the entered choices, and to modify preferences multiple times before the registration window closes. The ministry’s campaign distributes these materials through its website and official social‑media channels to ensure students rely on verified information.
In parallel, the ministry has published an updated official list of accredited public, private and international higher‑education institutions in Egypt to protect applicants from fraudulent entities. It also released the rules for diploma and technical institute students, stating that candidates may sit the university entry exam only once within a two‑year window (with specific exemptions) and that registration for these exams opens on 1 August 2026.
