He called on all Kuwaiti students to follow the authority's official platforms and benefit from the available support and guidance, emphasizing the authority's commitment to facilitating admission and achieving fairness in educational and employment opportunities.

After the admission results are announced, the students will receive a message confirming their acceptance into a specific major and will be asked to approve or reject their acceptance electronically. The deadline for approval is Sept 6, 2025; after which admission will be automatically revoked for any student who has not approved the admission.
