Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

"Limited" is the key word: the 100% scholarship is reserved for a small number of students, so admission and funding are decided separately. Start with the documents that can block the file: ECE if your degree was earned outside the UAE, two recommendation letters, a valid English test, and a research-oriented CV that shows real lab exposure. If you do not yet have a GRE score, the application can still stand, but the academic record and project coherence must carry more weight. Then submit the online application with every supporting document ready, so you do not enter the selection process with an incomplete file.
