More than 60 of our students received initial acceptance (القبول المبدئي) at Majmaah University. Only two of them have received final admission so far. The university is now sending everyone else invitations to an online interview, and passing it is required for final admission.

If your Majmaah status is “initially accepted,” watch your email and messages, because the invitation can arrive at any time. Below are the details from the official invitation, what the rules mean, and how to prepare so you pass.

What the invitation says

The interview is run by the Scholarships Department of the Deanship of Admission and Registration at Majmaah University. It is held online for scholarship students of the 1448 AH intake.

9:30–13:00 Makkah time in your city

How to join, step by step

1. Open the link in your invitation. You don’t need to install Teams, because it works in a browser (Chrome or Edge works best). If you prefer the app, download it in advance from Microsoft’s official site.
2. Enter your name correctly: your three-part name in Arabic plus your Study in Saudi application number. The invitation gives this example: محمد خالد محمد - 202600156678. Use your own name, your father’s name and your grandfather’s name, written as in your application.
3. Join on time and wait in the lobby. The university warns the wait can be anywhere from 0 to 60 minutes while the previous student finishes. Don’t leave and rejoin unless you have to.
4. When you are admitted, make sure your camera and microphone are on, greet the panel and introduce yourself.

What to prepare

Tick things off as you go. Your checkmarks are saved in this browser.

• A phone or computer in good condition, fully charged (plugged in is better).
• A working camera and microphone, plus a headset.
• A strong internet connection, with a backup such as mobile data on your phone.
• Paper and a pen.
• The originals of all your documents and your passport. You may be asked to show them on camera.

Rules during the interview

• Be in a quiet place, and alone.
• Getting help from anyone else or using outside materials is not allowed. It can get your nomination cancelled.
• The interview is recorded, and passing it is a condition for final admission.

How to pass: our advice

The university does not publish a full list of questions. Here is what these scholarship interviews usually check, and how to prepare.

The day before

• Open the link and check that Teams loads and your camera and microphone work. Do a test video call with a friend.
• Set your display name in the required format now, so you don’t lose time on the morning.
• Put your passport, school certificate, transcript and the other application documents within reach.
• Reread your application: your major, education details and contact details. What you say should match it.
• Choose your spot: a quiet room with a plain, light background, and light falling on your face, not from behind you.

Question trainer

Press “Random question”, answer out loud in Arabic, then open the card and compare with the sample. Replace the words in brackets with your own details.

Keep answers short, 3–5 sentences each. Practise them out loud a few times, but don’t memorize them word for word, because the panel wants to hear you speak naturally.

During the interview

• Open with “السلام عليكم” and introduce yourself.
• Dress neatly and modestly, as you would for an in-person university meeting.
• Look at the camera, speak calmly and clearly, and don’t interrupt.
• If you don’t understand a question, politely ask them to repeat it: “لو سمحت، هل يمكن أن تعيد السؤال؟”. That is better than guessing.
• If you don’t know an answer, say so honestly. Don’t make things up, because your answers are checked against your application and documents.
• Put your phone on silent and turn off notifications on your computer.
• If the connection drops, rejoin straight away with the same link and the same name.
• At the end, thank the panel: “جزاكم الله خيرًا”.

When to expect the result

The university says the result will appear in your Study in Saudi account within 5 working days. The Saudi working week runs Sunday to Thursday, so for an interview on 4 October that means roughly by 11 October.

Haven’t received an invitation?

• Check the email address from your application, including the spam folder, and messages to the phone number you gave.
• Log in to Study in Saudi and check the status of your Majmaah application.
• If you applied through YUSR, message us and we will help with your case.

Apply again: 5 days to the deadline

The Study in Saudi application window for this semester is open now. Applications close on 6 October 2026, 5 days from today.

• Waiting for a final decision from Majmaah? You can apply again this semester too, and we recommend it. Only 2 of more than 60 students have received final admission so far, so a new application is a backup in case Majmaah doesn’t work out.
• Everyone else: if you haven’t applied yet, don’t leave it to the last minute. The platform gets overloaded in the final days, and checking documents takes time.
