Registration Platform Performance
More than 80 percent of new Baccalaureate success holders have completed their initial registrations through the digital platform, according to Abdeljabbar Daoudi, Advisor to the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This high rate of engagement shows the effectiveness and accessibility of the online system. The registration platform recorded an impressive access rate of approximately 95 percent, indicating strong system stability and user reach even during peak times. This metric reflects the platform's capacity to handle a large volume of student interactions efficiently.
Mr. Daoudi stated to Echorouk News channel that "More than 80 percent of new Baccalaureate success holders have completed their initial registrations via the digital platform, while the access rate to the platform reached about 95 percent, hours before the initial registration phase concludes." These figures indicate significant engagement with the digital system ahead of the deadline for the initial registration phase. The strong performance of the platform has been a key factor in ensuring a smooth start to the university admissions cycle for the 2026 cohort. The Ministry has continuously monitored the system's performance to guarantee equitable access for all eligible students across the country.
Key Dates and Next Steps
The initial registration process for university admissions, conducted via the digital platform, is set to conclude at midnight on Sunday, July 19. This critical phase commenced on Wednesday, July 15, allowing students several days to submit their applications and express their initial preferences for various academic programs. The conclusion of this period marks a critical juncture for Baccalaureate holders seeking university placement for the 2026 academic year. Students are advised to ensure all necessary steps are completed before the deadline to avoid complications with their applications. Following the closure of initial registrations, the next vital stage, the phase of confirming preferences, will start from Monday, July 20. During this period, students will finalize their choices, a step that is essential for their eventual placement. The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has emphasized the importance of adhering to these timelines to facilitate a smooth admissions cycle and ensure that all students have a fair opportunity to secure their desired university places.
Student Concerns Raised
A key concern raised by students pertained to a mandatory five-year work contract. This requirement applies to those registered at the Sidi Abdallah university complex after their graduation. The stipulation has drawn significant attention from prospective students as they navigate the university admissions process, causing some to reconsider their options. This mandatory five-year work contract after graduation for those registered at the Sidi Abdallah university complex has been a prominent topic of discussion among the student community. The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has not yet publicly addressed this specific concern, which has been noted during the ongoing registration period for 2026 Baccalaureate holders. Students continue to express their views regarding the terms associated with enrollment at the Sidi Abdallah institution, hoping for clarification or potential adjustments to the requirement. The discussions around this policy reflect the students' careful consideration of their post-graduation career paths and obligations.
