The Amirkabir University of Technology newsletter (AUT News) that is supported by the Islamic Society, confirmed that the Iranian Government is discriminating Baha’i students simply because of their religious beliefs.
The authorities of the higher education sector have denied some 800 Baha’i students access to their results of national entrance examination for entering universities. To enrol in universities throughout Iran, students must provide their successful results of this examination to the university upon enrolment.
Following is the extract from AUT News:

دانش آموزانى که در کنکور سراسرى شرکت کرده اند ، مى توانند نتایج و رشته هایى که مجاز به ثبت نام هستند را در سایت رسمى سازمان سنجش و آموزش کشور (www.sanjesh.org) مشاهده کنند.حکومت از دو سال پیش به سمت سیستم الکترونیکى تغییر رویه داد و از آن به بعد ،هر داوطلب فقط به صورت فردى مى تواند با ورود به فایل خود از نتایج آزمون آگاه شود۰
Universities in Iran have just started the first semester for this academic year, yet the Baha’i students have not been given the opportunity to enrol and access higher education throughout the whole country. The Government of Iran is denying one of the most basic rights, education, to a significant proportion of the population - the Baha’is of Iran, yet again.
