admission criteria

Admission criteria are the set of requirements and standards an individual must meet to be considered eligible for a specific institution or program. These criteria can include academic qualifications, test scores, work experience, interviews, or personal statements. They help ensure applicants are suitable for the program's demands and align with its goals. Meeting the criteria does not guarantee acceptance but indicates a candidate's eligibility for further review. Institutions apply these standards consistently to select candidates who are most likely to succeed and contribute positively.
