when i did the assessment it involved a basic math test without calculator, basic English test all multiple choice 1 hour for each and 30 questions i believe from what i recall and a psychometric evaluation, but i heard that they changed that now its everything i mentioned above with a more complex math test which also involves some arithmetic's amoung other things, what i can do is ask around and see what the more recent batches had to do for their assessment.

I've read 2 different things about this program: cadets will fly for 750 hours in an A320, after which the airline will decide whether to hire or not.
And, cadets are guaranteed 1500 hours with the airline. Does anyone have any official info about it?
If a cadet is successful at the assessments and been offered a place on the MPL program, is a contract signed between the cadet and the airline for employment prior the commencement of the training?

Its a risk to do it without a degree, but if it works out it would be well worth it :/ i really dont know.

cadets are guaranteed 1500 hrs but during that time when you reach 750 hrs or so they will decide if they want to hire you as a first officer after completing the 1500 hrs.

There is no such option as of such...for AAG that is.

Is the cadet guaranteed the 1500 hours after completing the MPL? Is there a legal contract signed between the cadet and the airline before commencing the training phase that guarantees this promise?

Line training by itself is nothing. You need to be sure about the 1500 hour promise.

opl330, unfortunately you can only fly with Air Arabia from Sharjah. Morocco doesn't recognise the MPL. However, once you convert to an ATPL after 1500hrs you may be able to get the Moroccan CAA to issue a validation on your UAE License or convert to a Moroccan ATPL depending upon their requirements.
