In 1961, Al-Azhar was re-established as a university under the government of Egypt's second President Gamal Abdel Nasser when a wide range of secular faculties were added for the first time, such as business, economics, science, pharmacy, medicine, engineering and agriculture.
At that date, Al-Azhar University provided the universities with the system of accredited hours, and the one course was put to more than one professor and the student had to choose. There were more than one specialist in one science, and the student chose his sheikh, without the slightest training to sit here or there. This is how the optional curriculum existed at the university, as well as the oral testing curriculum, which is one of the best types of tests.
Al-Azhar University's Council of Senior Scholars was founded in 1911 but was replaced in 1961 by the Center for Islamic Research. In July 2012, after the law restricting Al-Azhar University's autonomy was modified by the incoming president Mohamed Morsi, the council was reformed.
