According to the information distributed by یِ دانش آموز and reported extensively in آخرین خبر, the outline for university applicants in 2025 includes the following data:
- 11th Grade: 6 subjects with a decisive influence of 17%.
- 12th Grade: All subjects with a decisive influence of 43%.
In addition, goals have been defined for the 2026 Konkur and beyond.
