  • For the theological profile, the final average of admission is calculated as follows: ๐‘จ๐‘ท๐‘ป + ๐‘ด๐‘จ divided by ๐Ÿ = ๐‘ด๐‘ญ๐‘จ, where: apt = the final note to the aptitude tests; Ma = the average of admission (calculated according to point I); MFA = final admission average.
  • For the military profile, the final average of admission is calculated as follows: 0.2 mA + 0.8 NP = MFA, where: NP = note at the test of knowledge verification in the disciplines of Romanian and mathematical language and literature; Ma = the average of admission (calculated according to point I); MFA = final admission average.
