The Coordinating Committee receives the shortlist of candidates and forwards it to the Council for approval.

The evaluation and classification of candidates is carried out by the Evaluation and Selection Committee in two phases:

In the first phase, candidates are assessed on a scale from 0 to 100 and each candidate is credited with a specific number of assessment points (a.p.) on this scale. The criteria per category, credited with p.m. are listed in the table below. The weighting in the first phase is 70%.

The second phase involves a remote interview with the shortlisted candidates conducted by the Evaluation and Selection Committee. 

Those with equal grades are admitted at a rate of up to 10% of the maximum number of admissions.

The weighting factor in the second phase is 30%.
