Italy Publishes Medicine ‘Semester Filter’ Rankings as 22,688 Qualify for 17,278 Seats

The release sets off a compressed January schedule for enrollments with recovery tests mandated by the ministry.

Overview

  • Cineca has sent each candidate their score, national rank and assigned university, with the first enrollment window running 8–14 January and loss of the place for those who miss the deadline.
  • Roughly 5,000 qualified candidates exceed public Medicine capacity and must opt for related courses, with the ‘affini’ ranking due 28 January and enrollments 28–31 January; 1,535 qualified for Veterinary and 1,072 for Dentistry.
  • Students who passed one or two exams may register at the assigned university and must clear recovery exams before second‑semester enrollment by 28 February, as universities rapidly schedule courses and at least two sittings per subject.
  • Local approaches vary: Pisa and Florence are expanding remediation and tutoring or adding extra exam sessions, while Turin signals January courses and February exams under tight timelines.
  • A large group who passed no exams remains outside the ranking and can use late-entry routes into other degrees by early March, with reporting citing 6 March deadlines and potential legal appeals over question errors and rule changes; Minister Bernini defends the reform and flags fixes to the commission and syllabi, with a 23 January meeting set with the national student council.
