The University complies with the National Transformation Program and follows the Kingdom 2030 plan to make the university the first choice for students.In 2022, the University sought to migrate its legacy assessment system to Excelsoft’s Saras Test and Assessment to deliver academic high-stakes exams. The client deployed Excelsoft’s Saras Test and Assessment as the sole end-to-end assessment platform. The aim was to increase the process efficiency and facilitate a robust, inclusive, easy-to-use assessment solution for their professors and students.
