Jahziah test dates and schedule (2026): what engineering students need to know

Short answer: ETEC’s 2026 student guide runs the cycle from 1 to 17 February 2026, in morning and afternoon slots (about 9:00–15:00), computer-based and in person at your university’s labs. Engineering subjects sit for 120 minutes; software and computer engineering sit for 90. Your exact day and room come from your university and the Qiyas centre, so confirm them rather than guessing. Everything below is summarised from the official guide and subject standards; check the current documents before you rely on a date.

The 2026 dates at a glance

Administration begins 1 February 2026 and ends 17 February 2026. Tests run during official university hours in two daily slots, around 9:00 and 12:30. The schedule covers 51 disciplines, so the day is set by your field rather than chosen by you.

How long is each engineering test?

Electrical, civil, chemical, mechanical, architecture, and industrial engineering are listed at 120 minutes; software engineering and computer engineering at 90 minutes. The time includes a short questionnaire after the scored section, and the number of multiple-choice questions ranges from 55 to 85 depending on the discipline.

How to confirm your own date and venue

• Your university’s quality or exams office is the fastest source for your personal slot.
• The Qiyas centre and the official national platform carry the national timetable and venue.
• Re-check close to the date — rooms and times can move.
• Registration is usually automatic for expected graduates, but if your graduation term changed, confirm you are on the list.

What to do in the two weeks before

Stop adding new material and switch to timed rehearsal. Read what is actually on the test screen, then follow the six-week plan compressed into your remaining days: practise under the clock, review every mistake, and sleep properly before the morning slot.
