The survey includes all postgraduate candidates’ who wish to attend in one field exam in 2005. The logistic regression method has been used to analyze the data according to the type of data. The results of this analysis show that gender, age, total grade of B.Sc, job, parental job, field of exam and father education of candidates have great impact on examination grades and as a result in university and college acceptance as well. The results show that mother education of candidates does not have a significant relationship in acceptance of candidates.
