Reached at a Kankor score of 198.
Geology and mining graduates work in the ministry of mines and petroleum, mineral exploration and extraction companies, the geological survey directorate, groundwater projects, and earthquake and landslide hazard assessment.
These scores are a guide, not a promise. The real cut-off moves every year with how many students sit the exam and how many places a university has.
33 departments at public universities fall under this field. For each, the lowest and highest score admitted in the 1405 Kankor is shown, sorted from the highest required score down.

Each year’s scores depend on that year’s candidates and places; last year’s figure is a guide, not a promise. A dash (—) means the score booklet has no figure for that department at that university; we do not estimate one.Source: Booklet «بلندترین و پایینترین نمرات کانکور ۱۴۰۵» (highest and lowest Kankor 1405 scores)Source: Booklet «کودرشته ها و ظرفیت جذب پوهنتون ها در سال ۱۴۰۵» (field codes and university capacities, 1405)
