The proportion of applicants admitted through the exceptional-cases track will not exceed 10% of all applicants admitted to the department.
These are minimum requirements: meeting them does not by itself guarantee admission.
For every track
- An English level of at least "Basic level" is required. A score of 80 or higher in the English section of the psychometric exam. Or a bagrut grade of 80 or higher in English (at least 4 units) for applicants admitted based on a particularly high bagrut average.

- Applicants whose mother tongue is not Hebrew and who took the psychometric exam in a language other than Hebrew must present a score of 100 or higher on the Yael exam.
