About these figures

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.

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.

The tie-break score (المفاضلة) is the one the file prints for the last student admitted; the ministry's rules use tie-break subjects only for the last seats.

How much minimums move: 807 programmes appear with the same wording, stream and gender in both 2025/26 and 2026/27. Between those years the scientific minimums moved by a median of 16 points (upper quartile 33.5), and 457 of 581 rose; the literary ones by a median of 35 (upper quartile 64), and 200 of 226 rose. That is why "around the minimum" is a wide band.

A dash in the 2025/26 column means the programme isn't listed with the same wording, stream and gender in that year's file — often because the file abbreviated department names differently — not that it didn't exist.

The federal public universities' programmes in central admission, as the ministry's Studies, Planning and Follow-up Directorate publishes them. Private (أهلية) universities and colleges are not in the file, and neither are programmes that admit through their own tests or directly. A separate file of minimums for graduates of distinguished schools (المتميزين) is not covered.

Universities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq admit students through the region's own Ministry of Higher Education and are not in this file.
