Overview
The Concours Commun d'Accès aux Facultés de Médecine, de Pharmacie et de Médecine Dentaire (common entrance exam for medicine, pharmacy and dental medicine) is a competitive exam that Moroccan public medicine, pharmacy and dentistry faculties use to select students. It is separate from, and taken after, the Moroccan Baccalauréat (see the Moroccan Bac page) — passing the Bac does not by itself give a seat in these faculties. Registration and results for the exam are handled through the national platform cursussup.gov.ma, under the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation.
Note
The Ministry's own exam pages (cursussup.gov.ma and enssup.gov.ma) could not be reached directly while researching this page. Facts below are drawn from Moroccan news coverage and established exam-guide sites reporting on official Ministry notices; readers should confirm exact dates, fees and thresholds on the official cursussup.gov.ma portal before relying on them, since these details are set fresh each year.
Who can apply
Candidates must hold the Moroccan Baccalauréat — from the current year or the previous year — in one of the science streams: Sciences Mathématiques (A or B), Sciences Physiques (PC), or Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT). Candidates register and sit the exam through cursussup.gov.ma using their Massar student code.
Before the written exam, candidates go through a pre-selection step based on their Bac marks: a weighted average combining 75% of the national exam grade and 25% of the regional exam grade (both from the Bac itself, not the concours). For the 2026-2027 session, the Ministry set the minimum pre-selection average at 12/20; only candidates reaching this average are invited to sit the written exam.
Exam pattern
| Stage | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-selection | Based on Bac marks | 75% weight on the national Bac exam grade, 25% on the regional Bac exam grade; minimum average set at 12/20 for 2026-2027 |
| Written exam (concours) | Single-answer multiple-choice (QCU), about 56 questions, 2 hours total | Covers Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT), Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, drawing on the full two-year Bac-cycle syllabus rather than only final-year material |
Secondary reports describe a per-subject eliminatory minimum (around 3/20) below which a candidate's overall application can be rejected regardless of their total score, but the exact rule was not confirmed from an official source, so treat this as a general description rather than an exact specification.
Marking and results
After the written exam is corrected, candidates who were admitted to sit it are ranked by their score. Seats are then offered in ranking order, following each candidate's stated order of preference among medicine, pharmacy and dental medicine programmes, until the available seats at each faculty are filled. For the 2026-2027 session, 7,340 seats were reported across public faculties nationwide: 5,790 in medicine, 1,090 in pharmacy and 460 in dental medicine. Because the number of candidates invited to the written exam is reported to run several times higher than the number of seats, the exam is highly competitive and the effective cut-off score is normally well above the 12/20 pre-selection minimum.
Important dates
For the 2026-2027 session:
Online registration: 19 June 2026 to 10 July 2026, via cursussup.gov.ma.
Written exam: 18 July 2026.
Results (admission lists): 21 July 2026, published on cursussup.gov.ma.
Fees
Secondary reports describe registration on the cursussup.gov.ma platform itself as free of charge for candidates applying to public faculties. We could not independently confirm from a reliable source whether any individual public faculty adds a separate fee for the written exam in 2026-2027, so no figure is given here — check directly with cursussup.gov.ma or the faculty you are applying to before assuming registration is free.
How to apply
Create or log in to a candidate account on cursussup.gov.ma using your Massar code and password.
Verify your personal details and Bac results on the platform.
Rank your preferences among the medicine, pharmacy and dental medicine faculties you want to be considered for.
Submit your application and download the confirmation receipt before the registration window closes.
After the exam
Candidates who clear the pre-selection average and then the written exam are ranked by score and placed into seats according to that ranking and their stated faculty preferences. A candidate who misses the cut-off for their first-choice programme (for example, medicine) may still be offered a seat in pharmacy or dental medicine if their rank and preferences allow it, subject to seats remaining. Candidates who are not admitted can still use their Bac to apply to open-access faculties or to other competitive post-Bac tracks (see the Moroccan Bac page for the wider post-Bac landscape).
Preparation tips
Review the full two years of Bac-cycle science syllabus (SVT, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) early, since the written exam draws on cumulative knowledge rather than only final-year topics.
Practise single-answer multiple-choice (QCU) questions under timed conditions, since the real exam covers four subjects in only 2 hours.
Keep your Bac national and regional exam marks as strong as possible, since they decide whether you clear pre-selection before you even sit the written exam.
Register on cursussup.gov.ma within the published window and rank your faculty preferences carefully, since preference order affects which programme you are offered after ranking.
Is this the same exam as the Moroccan Baccalauréat?
No. The Baccalauréat is Morocco's general secondary-school-leaving exam. This is a separate, additional competitive entrance exam taken after the Bac, specifically for admission to public medicine, pharmacy and dental medicine faculties.
What subjects does the written exam cover?
Secondary reports describe a single-answer multiple-choice exam of about 56 questions in 2 hours, covering Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT), Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, based on the full Bac-cycle syllabus.
How many seats are available?
For the 2026-2027 session, 7,340 seats were reported across public faculties: 5,790 in medicine, 1,090 in pharmacy and 460 in dental medicine. Seat numbers are set fresh each year, so check the current year's figures on cursussup.gov.ma.
Is there a fee to register for the exam?
Secondary reports describe registration on cursussup.gov.ma as free for candidates applying to public faculties, but we could not independently confirm whether any faculty charges a separate fee for the written exam. Confirm directly with cursussup.gov.ma before assuming there is no cost.
