Admissions Process Details
Meeting the Requirements

Admissions Portal
The admission process basically starts by registering the candidate through the online Admissions Portal. The candidate will have to generate an account and proceed to fill in all details mentioned in the application form. Once the form is filled and submitted, a reference number is generated with an option to print the application form.
Compiling the prerequisite
With a copy of the printed application form, the prerequisite should be compiled as mentioned. Please note that any application with incomplete documentation will be rejected.

The application form with the prerequisite can be submitted by visiting the PI Admissions Office. The Admissions Counter will be open during the admission period and will only accept applications from 08:00 am – 12:00 pm (Sun – Thu).

Evaluation
PI is primarily reserved for Emaratis (UAE Nationals); however, highly qualified Non-Emaratis (Non-UAE Nationals) are admitted on a case-by-case basis. Acceptance of applicants will be based on the academic proficiency and evaluation through a highly selective admission process by the committee. Applicants will be referred through the reference number or by the first and last name.
Acceptance
Once the admittance has been determined, the applicant will be given a call immediately to update the status. Successful candidates will be then given instructions to complete the final procedures before intake.
