| Last update: 2025/02/8 |
The Head of the Office of Exceptional Talents and Student Olympiads at Amirkabir University of Technology announced that more than 1,000 graduate students have been admitted without entrance exams over the past four years. He highlighted the university’s efforts to support outstanding students, including the possibility of dual-degree programs, the ability to change majors, the option to take 20 additional credits from other disciplines, and financial scholarships.
According to the Public Relations Office of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Iman Sharifi, speaking at the gathering honoring top Olympiad students, provided a historical overview of the university’s establishment. He noted that in 1307, the Higher Technical School was founded in collaboration with Germany. Later, in 1336, Tehran Polytechnic Institute was established with the support of UNESCO through the merger of the Higher Technical School and the Institute of Road and Building Engineering.
He stated that in 1336, the first student cohort was admitted through an internal entrance exam, and from 1337, Tehran Polytechnic officially launched its educational activities with five engineering programs: Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Textile Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.
Sharifi emphasized that Amirkabir University of Technology, in line with its broad scientific, research, and innovation activities, has so far established 19 scientific research centres.
The Head of the Office of Exceptional Talents and Student Olympiads noted that over time, the university has grown significantly in both quantity and quality, to the extent that it is now recognized as the “Mother of Industrial Universities” in Iran. Through its educational, research, and student initiatives, Amirkabir University has secured a leading position among scientific and research institutions.
During the event, 24 top Olympiad students were honored in 10 disciplines, including Mathematics and Computer Science, Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Physics.
He also mentioned that this year, one student was recognized in the Young Scholars and Scientists Festival, two students were ranked in the National Nanotechnology Olympiad, and four students secured positions in the 46th National Mathematics Competition.
Sharifi provided an overview of the most important services offered by the Office of Exceptional Talents and Student Olympiads, including the admission of outstanding applicants into master’s and doctoral programs through both the standard and advisor-based selection processes, academic counselling and recognition of Olympiad students, establishing connections between the Office of Exceptional Talents and the National Elite Foundation, issuing official recognition certificates for exceptional students advancing to higher education levels, and providing official rank confirmation for Olympiad winners.
He also explained the selection and admission process for graduate students, emphasizing efforts to review student applications for program transfers, concurrent degree enrolments, and course credit approvals.
Sharifi presented statistics on the admission of outstanding undergraduate students over the past four years. In 1400, 140 exceptional students entered the university, followed by 169 in 1401, 196 in 1402, and 205 in 1403.
He highlighted the university’s support programs for top students, including advisor-based and exam-free admissions for graduate programs, the ability to pursue dual-degree programs, the option to take 20 additional credits from another discipline, the ability to change majors, and financial scholarships exceeding 14 million tomans per year (up to 57 million tomans per academic cycle) for students ranked under 200 in the national entrance exam and gold medallists in student Olympiads. Additionally, 10 million tomans per year in scholarships are allocated to top-ranked Olympiad students.
He noted that these financial supports are expected to increase significantly once approved by the university’s executive board.
Dr. Sharifi emphasized the university’s efforts to admit exceptional students without entrance exams. From 1400 to 1403, 869 master’s students were admitted under the exceptional talent pathway. During the same period, 171 doctoral students were accepted without entrance exams through the exceptional talent program. In the past two years, 28 doctoral students were admitted through the advisor-based selection process.
This year, 32 master’s students across 14 disciplines and 14 doctoral students across 13 disciplines were accepted through the advisor-based selection system.
Dr. Sharifi concluded by stating that the Office of Exceptional Talents and Student Olympiads follows two key missions: focusing on retaining and attracting top talents to Amirkabir University of Technology and ensuring that these talents remain in the country, particularly by fostering entrepreneurship and innovation.
