Admission requirements

Intake for the 2026/27 academic year

You can be admitted through one of these tracks:

Regular track

Threshold requirements: psychometric exam and bagrut(our wording)

  • 550 (the higher of the general multi-domain psychometric score or the quantitative reasoning psychometric score)
  • 85 in the English component of the psychometric exam or Amirnet exam
  • An applicant who takes the psychometric exam in a language other than Hebrew and whose bagrut certificate is from an institution where the language of instruction is not Hebrew is required to have a score of at least 100 on the Yael exam.
  • Bagrut cutoff scores (weighted bagrut average, without bonus points)Bagrut average – 70
  • Mathematics – a grade of 75 at 4 units or 65 at 5 units (alternatively, a grade of 75 in the College’s pre-engineering mechina)
  • English – a grade of 70 at 4 units or 60 at 5 units
  • An additional advanced-level subject besides mathematics and English – a grade of 60

By bagrut, no psychometric exam

Admission route without a psychometric exam (optimal bagrut average)(our wording)

  • Bagrut average (optimal, including bonus points) – 95
  • Mathematics – a grade of 85 at 4 units or 70 at 5 units; alternatively, a grade of 85 in the College’s pre-engineering mechina
  • Physics – a grade of 70 at 5 units or a grade of 80 in another advanced-level science subject
  • English – a grade of 80 at 4 units or 75 at 5 units
  • An applicant whose bagrut certificate is from an institution where the language of instruction is not Hebrew is required to have a score of at least 110 on the Yael exam or Yaelnet exam.
  • English placement test (Amirnet exam), score of 85
  • These admission tracks are not intended for applicants in the Academic Reserve program. These admission tracks require meeting all registration requirements. Applicants whose scores fall short of the requirements cannot be admitted.
  • To calculate the best possible bagrut average, add 12.5 points to a science subject at the 4-unit level and 25 points to a science subject at the 5-unit level.

These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.

The requirements are in the institution's words. Names and labels marked "our wording" are our own, written from the same page.
