Important Rules for Examinees
The university has issued strict instructions along with the schedule. Candidates have been instructed to complete their OMR forms carefully and accurately, as any errors on the OMR form could lead to serious complications later.
Furthermore, mobile phones and other electronic devices are strictly prohibited in the exam room. Students should keep this in mind and leave their devices at home or with a tutor before entering the building.

To ensure the smooth running of the exams, the university will distribute blank answer booklets and other necessary materials on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., at the Exam Control Office (Building 2).
Those in charge of the respective exam centers, or their designated representatives, have been asked to collect the materials during these hours.
A Few Words for the Candidates
With exams starting in early August, candidates now have a clear timeline to plan their final preparations. Our suggestions: collect your admission card well in advance rather than waiting until the last week, double-check your exam center and time, and practice filling out the OMR forms carefully if you haven’t done so recently. Arriving early at the center on exam day will save you unnecessary stress.
We will publish the detailed timetable by subject and any changes to the schedule if the university issues further notices. Stay tuned for all updates regarding education at the madrasa and the exams.
