Guide to University Admission & Applying for Government Jobs
From high school to university to the job market, there are turning points where a student needs to know their exact number: their weighted admission percentage, their cumulative GPA during studies, and their ranking score when applying for a government job after graduation. This guide brings together the three calculators in the order of a student's actual journey.
Guide steps
First stop: calculate your weighted percentage for university admission from high school, Qudrat, and Tahsili using your specific university and major's weights — every university and major has different weights.
After admission: calculate your semester and cumulative GPA accurately on a 4 or 5 scale, and merge your previous GPA to see your new one instantly each semester.
After graduating and applying for a government administrative job? Calculate your ranking score via the Jadarat platform (GPA, test, and graduation seniority) and find out what test score you need.
Quick tips
- Weighted percentage weights actually differ between universities and even between majors within the same university — always confirm the officially announced weight before relying on any estimate.
- Cumulative GPA actually accumulates semester after semester — one weak semester early on needs several strong semesters later to compensate, so the stronger you start, the less compensation needed later.
- Jadarat points combine your academic average, test score, and graduation seniority — knowing your current points helps you determine how many additional points you need on the test to reach a competitive threshold.
Frequently asked questions
Is the weighted percentage the same at all Saudi universities?
No, the weights (high school, Qudrat, Tahsili percentages) differ from one university to another and sometimes from one major to another within the same university — enter the correct weights for your university and major for an accurate result.
Does Jadarat rely on cumulative GPA or just the graduation GPA?
It relies on your final academic average (graduation GPA) plus other factors like test score and graduation seniority — check the calculator's details to know the exact weight of each factor.
