KU won't lower
GPA cutoff

Kuwait University
rejected requests to lower the GPA required for admittance in its colleges
during the second term and the next few years before it moves to its new campus
in Shadadiya, which will result in extra capacity and an increase in halls,
which was the reason it gave for the inability to increase the number of
admitted students to more than 7,000 students per year. Sources said the
university council will not accept demands by MPs to reduce the GPA for
admittance to allow more students to study at KU, because it is a matter of
educational quality, apart from only accepting those who deserve admission.
