Uncertainty for Thousands of Azad University Students After 'Mistake' in Admissions

After a gathering of a group of uncertain medical students accepted by Azad University, the university asked the protesters not to visit the university for follow-up on their status and announced that the final decision regarding them would be announced through the website of the assessment center. In recent weeks, thousands of students in medical fields at Azad University have been informed that they cannot continue their studies in medical fields. According to reports, these students were accepted as reserves and were invited to register after some time, with classes for some of them starting after tuition fees were collected in October of this year. However, these students were informed that they were 'mistakenly' accepted. In recent days, a number of these students have gathered at the central building of Azad University. Following this event, Mohammad Mahdi Tehranchi, the head of Azad University, announced that seven heads and educational deputies of Azad Islamic University units were dismissed due to this 'violation.' While some representatives reported the uncertainty of 22,000 students, the president of Azad University stated in a meeting with parliamentary representatives that the number of these students was 5,800. Mr. Tehranchi mentioned that the university is looking to distribute these students among the units of Azad University. Previously, there have been multiple reports of violations in the entrance exams of Azad University.
