Subject: Notification of Approvals Related to Basic Sciences and Pre-Internship Exams

Dear Vice President,

In light of the approvals from the Assessment and Admission Council of the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education, we wish to convey the following directives regarding the basic sciences and pre-internship examinations:

1. 1. 1. GPA Consideration for Failing Candidates: The positive impact of the Grade Point Average (GPA) will be applicable only to candidates who do not achieve the required passing score. Specifically, this will be reflected as 40 points derived from the GPA and 60 points from the raw exam scores.
      2. GPA Threshold: For candidates whose GPA exceeds the established quorum, the quorum score will be applied.
      3. Correction Period for GPA: The university is permitted a maximum of one month following the announcement of exam results to adjust a candidate’s GPA. Post this period, adjustments to the GPA will no longer be permissible.
      4. Scoring for Non-Iranian (International) Students: In the basic medical and dental science examinations for international (non-Iranian) candidates, scores will be calculated from a base of 190, and the educational course score will be awarded proportionately to these candidates.

These measures will take effect starting from the August-September 2025 examinations onward. It is imperative that the university communicates this information to all candidates accordingly.
