Students of IGCSE (Grade IX batch 2021 - 2022) have to fulfill the criteria of the Universities of their respective countries or the Universities where they will pursue their studies after ‘A’ Levels.

Egyptian Universities require the total number of eight ‘IGCSE’ level subjects and two ‘A’ levels or four AS levels with proof of 12 years of schooling.

Jordanian Universities require at least six IGCSE/GCSE subjects and two ‘A’ level subjects. Both Egyptian and Jordanian Universities need Arab students to do ‘Arabic’ as First Language.

Parents are requested to check out the requirements of the Universities before they finally decide.

If Pakistani students plan to go back to their home country after (“O” Levels), they need a minimum of 5 subjects with Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies and Urdu included in their list.

To suit the individual needs and requirements of our students, NWIS offers the following subjects catering to the Science and Commerce fields.

It is important that you choose your subjects wisely. Before you consider which subjects to select, research a range of universities and career options so that the subjects you select satisfy the entry requirements. Think about which subjects are the perquisites for further study or your career path.
