Deadlines & Cohort Timelines: TAQADAM applications open once a year. If applications are currently closed, it indicates that a cohort is active. The next cycle typically opens after the active cohort concludes. Deadlines may vary, so please follow our official channels to be notified for the exact dates of the upcoming cycle.

Re-Application Policy If you applied previously, you must submit a new application for the current cohort; previous submissions are not automatically carried over. If you were rejected in a past cycle, we strongly encourage you to reapply, as your progress since then may improve your chances.
