Navigating the Egyptian University Admissions Maze: A Guide to Reducing ‘Agtrab’ for High School Graduates

Recent Egyptian high school graduates are now eligible to participate in the ‘Agtrab’ reduction process, allowing them to potentially adjust their university placements. This process, available online, aims to reduce geographical distance between students and their chosen universities or colleges. The process involves students logging into the online system using their personal information, making choices for desired institutions, and subsequently receiving their final placement. This process typically occurs in stages, with the first two stages opened for simultaneous application, followed by a third stage after results are released. Important guidelines include limitations on the number of transfers allowed, the consideration of minimum academic requirements, and priority given to students with higher overall marks. To ensure transparency and accessibility, the online system provides regular updates and allows students to print their final placement confirmation after the process is complete.
