Which certificate are you applying with?

Read this first

Sudan has been at war since April 2023 and many universities have moved teaching elsewhere; a town named in a programme is where the ministry's 2026 list places it, not necessarily where it is taught now.

The ministry publishes eight lists. The general list is for the Sudanese secondary certificate. The state-quota list is for students from the state concerned: the admission rules keep half the planned places at government institutions in the less-developed states for that state's students. The other six lists are headed by a country (Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Qatar, “other countries”) or by “foreign certificates”; the file doesn't say who each is for, but the admission rules admit Arab and foreign secondary certificates on a quota system with the percentage worked out from that certificate, and that is how we read them. Each list is a separate competition, so a percentage is only ever compared within its own list.
