III. Students having qualifications equivalent to 12th Grade/NGSSE
|
|
The University welcomes students of all nationalities. As there is a vast difference in the grading system and curriculum of various international examinations, all such applications are examined on a case-by-case basis. In this connection, the RAK University for Dentistry realizes that the grading system followed in the UAE cannot be automatically extended to examination systems outside the country. The candidates should enclose with their application, documents explaining grading/marking system and calculation of cumulative grade point average/aggregate percentage of marks along with their transcript/marks sheet. Further, the candidates must send a copy of curriculum and rules and regulations for the examinations they have passed well in advance to enable the University to determine their eligibility for admissions.
Students having such qualifications should adopt the following method to compute the aggregate marks in 3 courses Physics, Chemistry and Biology:
- If actual marks are given in the transcript, the marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are to be totaled for computing aggregate.
- If actual marks as well as the grades are given in the transcript, actual marks in these 3 subjects are to be taken for computing aggregate.
- If grades and range of marks for each grade is given in the transcript, mean of the range of marks are to be taken for computing aggregate.
- If grades are only given in the transcript, the student should obtain from appropriate authority equivalent marks/range of marks for the grades.
- If the evaluation is done by any other method, the student should explain the evaluation system and should obtain from appropriate authority equivalent marks/range of marks for such evaluation.
- Students should send the copies of transcript/marks sheet with relevant documents directly to
