Student Selection Criteria
Kolej Yayasan Saad conducts a student selection process every year. Only Form 1 students for the next school session are allowed to apply. The first step of the selection process is sending the KYS application form, which is available from the school's website. The school receives about 6,000 applicants per year.
From these applicants, 2,000 of those who fulfill the criteria are selected for the written Entrance Examination, taken at 20 venues nationwide. The top 200 students in this exam proceed to the third and final process, where they go to KYS for a four-days Residential Student Selection. During the four days process, candidates face testing which includes interviews, IQ tests, a personality test, an aptitude test, a physical test, group presentation, and a stage performance. Candidates are evaluated by facilitators and teachers. From the initial 6,000 participants, only the best 60 candidates (approximately of 40 boys and 20 girls) are admitted into KYS in any one academic year, making the school population of the five batches of approximately 300 resident students only.
