Since its establishment, our university has undergone significant transformations with the aspiration of becoming a world-class university dedicated to science and technology. ASTU adheres to the principle of selection and concentration in students’ admission. To ensure a fair and rigorous evaluation of candidates, our institution conducts a distinct online examination for students who achieve the passing mark in the Ethiopian Secondary School Leaving Certificate Examination (ESLCE).
