Some students pay $0 for MBZUAI's $45,000-a-year AI degree, but only a few hundred get in. Here's exactly how the undergraduate application works, what they look for, and how the scholarship fits in. I'm Abhra, an Engineering student at MBZUAI and part of the student recruitment team. This is the undergraduate program only (B.Sc. in AI: Business and Engineering). Everything with a date, fee or requirement comes from the official website. Anything I say "in my experience" is my own opinion, not official policy. 📅 KEY DATES (2027 intake) • Portal opened: September 7, 2026 • Early Action deadline: November 1, 2026 (decision January 15, 2027) • Regular Decision deadline: February 1, 2027 (decision April 1, 2027) • Fall semester starts: mid-August 2027 All times are Gulf Standard Time (5 p.m. deadlines). ✅ THE 8-STEP CHECKLIST 1.
