RIT Dubai employs a holistic, rolling admissions process, evaluating applications based on high school performance, competitiveness of the applicant’s previous institution, test scores (if applicable), recommendation letters, and an interview with an admissions counselor  . Key requirements include:

Academic Records: Submission of high school transcripts; predicted final-year results may be accepted for conditional offers  .

Placement Exams: Freshman students must take placement tests (e.g., in Math); exemptions may apply for IB Higher Level, A-Levels, or AP students depending on their final grades  .

Engineering-Specific Criteria: Applicants must typically demonstrate:

Minimum 80% in Mathematics (preferably pre-calculus) and two sciences (Physics, Chemistry, or Biology).

For American/SABIS/Canadian curriculum: at least 80% average; British curriculum: sufficient IGCSE and A-Level results; IB: 28 points; Indian/Pakistani: 65% aggregate with 61% in required subjects  .

English Proficiency: While not explicitly detailed on the RIT page, standard RIT Dubai policies mirror typical thresholds (e.g., IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT ~79), especially for students without English-medium backgrounds.
