Your average
We compare it with the minimum average each programme at Iraq's federal universities admitted in central admission for 2026/27.

Each figure is the lowest total — and the matching average, the total divided by 7 — with which a student was admitted to that programme in central admission, for that stream and gender group. It is set by that year's competition, not announced in advance: next year's can be higher or lower.
These minimums are for central admission of students with the Iraqi secondary-school certificate. Non-Iraqi students are admitted separately, through the directorate's office for students from abroad, mainly on a self-funded route with its own minimum averages (for morning study in 2026/27, from 95% for medical subjects to 65% for others), paying the fees of the universities' fee-paying channel plus an annual registration fee in foreign currency.
If you know your total instead, divide it by 7.
Totals can pass 700 because, for the competition, the ministry adds 8% of the mark in an additional foreign language to the student's total and an extra mark on the average for first-round graduates; enter your average with those additions. Your answers stay in this browser.
"Around the minimum" means within 4.9 points of average either way. That is the upper quartile of how far scientific minimums moved between 2025/26 and 2026/27 (581 programmes listed the same way in both: median 16 points of total, upper quartile 33.5, 457 of 581 rose), divided by 7 and rounded up — our choice of band, from one pair of years.
Universities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq admit students through the region's own Ministry of Higher Education and are not in this file.
