The cut-off for the two streams
| Who | Mark | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Male students, natural and social science | 240 out of 600 | 40% |
| Female students, natural and social science | 228 out of 600 | 38% |
The four supported groups
The Ministry lists four groups whose cut-off sits at 37 percent. The first two are about where a candidate comes from and the last two about disability. Blind candidates in social science are the one group whose paper is marked out of 500 rather than 600, which is why their mark reads lower for the same share.
| Group | Stream | Mark |
|---|---|---|
| Candidates from Afar, Somali, Benishangul-Gumuz and Gambella | Natural or social science | 222 out of 600 (37%) |
| Candidates from pastoral and semi-pastoral areas | Natural or social science | 222 out of 600 (37%) |
| Blind candidates | Social science | 185 out of 500 (37%) |
| Deaf candidates | Natural or social science | 222 out of 600 (37%) |
How the Ministry says it set the marks
The notice gives three grounds: the results the students achieved, the capacity universities have to admit, and what it calls the national principle of fairness in education. It gives no count of students who reached the marks and no count of places, so the size of this year's remedial intake is not yet public.
What comes after the mark
Students at or above the mark chose where they want to do the remedial year from Meskerem 7 to 11, 2019 E.C. (17 to 21 September 2026) on the Ministry's student portal, which is in our item on the choice. Some institutions take remedial students directly as well: the Federal TVT Institute takes natural science students on these same marks until Meskerem 15. The marks here are not about the students who sat the remedial exit exam in June 2026; their results are in our item on the remedial results.
