This is the primary track for university admission, ensuring a competitive opportunity to secure a seat; the following tests each contribute equally to the overall score; 50% General Aptitude Test (Qudrat) and 50% KFUPM Achievement test.

Admission Requirements:

1. You must be a high school graduate of the study tracks system in one of the following: general studies, computer science and engineering, or health and life sciences, or a graduate of international schools (natural sciences) in the current or the two previous years. This applies to all admission tracks.
2. Achieve a minimum score of 65 on the STEP test or its equivalent in other tests (IELTS 4.5, Duolingo 80, or TOEFL iBT 3 [45 out of 120 under the old scoring system]). This applies to all admission tracks, except for SAT and Olympiad.
   We recommend taking the English test early to ensure your results are available before the application deadline. You must achieve the minimum required score in one of the accepted tests to complete your application, and you may retake the test multiple times.
3. A brief introduction about yourself that should explain your academic goals and how you will contribute to positive change in your community and the world during your journey at the university.
4. An official recommendation letter from your school administrator in either Arabic or English.
5. The applicant must not have previously studied at KFUPM.
6. Admission candidates may be required to attend a personal interview.

Note: All test scores submitted as part of the admission application must be valid at the time of application.
