جامعة السودان المفتوحة · Government university
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.

Country and certificate lists, 2026
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.

Shown as 50.0 with no tie-break: 50.0 is the lowest percentage in every list, and the source doesn't say whether the programme was undersubscribed or what the last nominee scored.
A round figure with no tie-break (65.0 on many engineering programmes, 70.0 on state-quota medicine, dentistry and pharmacy): the source doesn't say whether it is a minimum set for the field or the last nominee's percentage. In the country lists, most rows without a tie-break carry exactly the general list's figure for the same programme.
Which seven subjects count depends on the college group, and the ministry's subject tables tie each group to a track: medical, health, biological and agricultural colleges to the biology track; engineering and architecture to the mathematics track; computing, mathematics, physics and statistics to either science track; arts, law, economics, languages, Islamic studies and the literary side of education to any track. We tag each programme from its name by those tables; a programme our rules can't settle is listed but never compared with your percentage.
