With the approaching specialization selection stage, one of the main issues that concerns applicants is the passing scores formed for higher education institutions.
Especially for applicants who show low results in the admission exam, questions such as "Is it possible to be admitted to university with this score?" and "Which specialties are more realistic to choose?" become even more relevant.
In many cases, applicants and parents are not sufficiently informed about alternative specialties and universities that offer admission opportunities with lower scores, as they focus only on specialties with high passing scores during selection. However, a correctly researched selection list can significantly increase the chances of admission.
AzEdu.az has investigated the passing scores formed for Group I specialties based on the 2025 admission results and prepared a list of higher education institutions and specialties that admit students with the lowest scores.
This list will help applicants form a more realistic idea during the selection stage.
