Ethiopian Graduate Admission Test Schedule 2018 Announced

If you’re thinking of pursuing a postgraduate degree at Addis Ababa University, you need to take the Ethiopian Graduate Admission Test (GAT). And the dates are already scheduled.

The Ethiopian Graduate Admission Test (GAT) for postgraduate studies at Addis Ababa University will be conducted on the 23rd and 24th of July 2018 (Ethiopian Calendar). There will be both morning and afternoon sessions, so be sure to check your schedule.

The test time is not the same for everyone. The first round of the Ethiopian Graduate Admission Test (GAT) is only for those who registered from May 30 to July 15, 2018 (Ethiopian Calendar). Don’t be concerned if you registered after July 15, 2018 (Ethiopian Calendar), your exam will be in the second round.

The candidates who register after July 15, 2018 (Ethiopian Calendar) will go for the second round of GAT. That round will take place on 7th and 8th August 2018 (Ethiopian Calendar).

All registered candidates who are unable to see their exam details will be allocated to take their exam in the Disability Centre on the main campus, in Lab 1. This will be in the afternoon on Friday, July 24, 2018 (Ethiopian Calendar).

Errors do occur, particularly with exam registration. If you have been accidentally entered for the wrong exam centre to take the exam, please do not worry. Please report directly to Disability Centre Lab 1 on the day of the exam. The list of registered candidates, the full exam schedule, and detailed exam instructions are available on the Addis Ababa University Testing Centre official website.
