The Iranian University Entrance Exam, simply known as Konkour (Persian: کنکور; from the French Concours), is a standardized test used as one of the means to gain admission to higher education in Iran. Generally, to get a Ph.D. in non-medical majors, there are three exams, all of them called Konkour.[1]
By 2023, 80% of top 3000 students were from private schools, while only 2 percent from public schools.[2]
Iran had 2183 universities in 2022 and started a program to merge them and reduce the number down to 400 universities.[3]
In September 2023, the Iranian government rolled back changes to the Exam to before 2020 and delayed changes until 14-06-2026, making the Exam a more important factor than high schools grades and finals.[4][5]
