KUWAIT CITY, Aug 3: Several students, who got admitted to Kuwait University for academic year 2022/2023, have submitted requests to withdraw from the university, reports Al-Qabas daily quoting sources. Sources revealed these students want to apply for admission to the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET) or the internal scholarship program.

Sources said there has been no official report on the number of students intending to withdraw from the university; but dozens are expected to do so, as they got accepted in courses that were not their first choice although they specified such courses in the application for admission. Sources pointed out the students are allowed to change their course later according to the transfer policy of the university.

Sources confirmed the withdrawal of some students opened slots in some colleges; which gives the university an opportunity to increase admission seats in the second semester, as well as to move forward with the plan to accept excellent foreign students in courses with a high number of available slots.
