The equalization
committee at the
Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research will
likely file a recommendation to the council to raise the minimum GPA of
equivalence certificates for the Medicine and Dentistry faculties from 80
percent to 85 percent, and that of the engineering faculty from 75 percent to
80 percent, according to an official source at the ministry.
This decision aims at
reducing the number of graduates from the medicine and engineering faculties in
light of the increase of students in these specializations, according the
ministry official, who added that there are about 38,000 students studying
Medicine and Dentistry in Jordanian and foreign universities.
