Admission campaign will start soon. Are there any changes in the order of admission to universities this year?

A feature of this academic year for graduates was the division of the USE in mathematics into basic and specialized levels. If mathematics is listed in the list of entrance examinations of the university for any direction, then it should be mathematics at the profile level, the minimum passing score for which is 27.

It is also important that it is enough to pass the USE in the Russian language with 24 points to get a certificate, but for admission to a university you need to score at least 36 points.

Another important innovation is that universities have the opportunity to set points for individual achievements of applicants when enrolling. In addition to the total points for the exam, you can get a maximum of 20 points. Additional points for individual achievements significantly increase the applicant's chances of admission.

Of these twenty points, a maximum of 10 can be obtained for an essay that graduates have already written in schools. The university rechecks the essay and gives its grade (evaluation criteria are developed at the federal level).

The second 10 points can be awarded for sports achievements, participation in the volunteer movement, academic achievements. For what exactly and how many points - each university decides independently, the same rule for all - the sum of all these achievements cannot exceed 10 points, even if the applicant has sports victories, and a certificate with honors, and a prize at the Olympiad. In this case, he chooses those achievements that are most highly valued in this educational institution.

How to find out what exactly a particular university awards points for, and how to present evidence of your achievements?

All information about the registration of individual achievements should be posted on the website of the university as a separate document. When submitting documents, the applicant must indicate his achievements in the application for admission and submit diplomas, certificates, etc. confirming them. As for the essay, the commission of the university takes it in the federal information system.

An applicant can apply to several universities at once. How many educational institutions and how many specialties can you enroll in 2015?

There are no changes here: 5 universities, each with three areas of training. At the same time, enrollment, as before, goes according to priorities - each applicant who indicates several areas of training must rank them from more interesting to less interesting for himself. Documents can be submitted to universities both in person and by mail or through an online application if the educational institutions are located in other cities. When sending by mail, consider the time: the documents must be received by the selection committee no later than July 24.

What is the enrollment scheme in 2015? What changed?

Traditionally, applicants for state-funded places are enrolled in two stages, and this year these stages have received quantitative confirmation. Applicants are enrolled in the first wave for 80% of the total number of budget places, in the second - 20%. As before, only those who submitted original documents to the selection committee are enrolled. But if earlier applicants who did not bring the originals to the first wave could not get into the second, as there were no places left, then this year there will definitely be 20% of the places.

Nevertheless, it is very important for the applicant to correctly navigate where to submit the original certificate. We advise you to prioritize and decide on the choice of university in advance. If you have high scores in the Unified State Examination and you understand that you have every chance of getting into the first wave of a particular university, we advise you to immediately submit original documents there so as not to miss your budget place.

If you do not do this, an applicant with lower scores may take your place, and there will not be enough places for everyone in the second wave.

Have the deadlines for filing documents and enrollment changed this year?

Yes, in 2015, the acceptance of documents begins at all universities on June 19 and ends on July 24 for the first wave of applicants. The deadline for accepting original documents, common for all universities, is set: strictly 18.00 on August 3. This applies to admission to budget places, and for training on a paid basis, the terms of enrollment are set by the decision of the organization. As a rule, this is the 20th of August.

Do universities raise the minimum USE scores set by Rosobrnadzor?

Each university decides this for itself: we have the right to raise the minimum scores relative to the scale of Ros-Obrnadzor, but we cannot lower them. In a number of educational institutions, these scales coincide, but many universities set their own minimum: for example, 30 points in mathematics instead of 27, 40 in Russian (the minimum of Rosobrnadzor is 36), and so on.

In 2015, did the number of state-funded places for applicants decrease?

Statistics show that in many universities the number of state-funded places, on the contrary, has increased. I would like to note that there are budget places for part-time education.

Another interesting point: today there is an opportunity to study for free even in commercial universities. Educational institutions have developed benefits for successful applicants: with a high score on the unified state exams, the student is given a 100% discount for the first semester, and with excellent results in all sessions, you can not pay for studies for the entire period of study.

Is it true that now you can enter a university only on the basis of the results of the Unified State Examination? That is, people who graduated from school before 2009 will have to take a unified state exam?

Yes, indeed, persons with only a secondary general education can enter a university (both full-time and part-time) only on the basis of the USE results. In this case, the year of graduation does not matter.

We wish future graduates success in passing the exam and entering the university they have chosen!

What are the extra points for?

10 points- maximum for individual achievements:

silver/gold TRP badge
certificate of secondary general education with honors
participation/prize places in olympiads, etc.
volunteer activities
the status of the champion and prize-winner of the Olympic, Paralympic and Deaf Olympic Games, etc.

10 points- the maximum mark for the final essay written in the final grade of the school. An essay written at school will be rechecked by the university commission and evaluated in accordance with federal criteria.

A total of 20 points can be obtained in addition to the total points for the exam.

Additional points for winning the Olympiads are given only in the absence of special admission rights without entrance examinations or the right to 100 points in the relevant subject.

Within each of the grounds 1.14.4 - 1.14.15, the provision of additional points is one-time (they are not supposed to be summed up for a victory in the same Olympiad, summation for different classes is allowed).

When providing additional points at once for several different types of grounds, the points are summed up. Moreover, if the sum of points for all reasons is more than 10, then the accrual of points in total is limited to 10 points.

Each university sets unique passing scores for admission. They depend on the results of the USE with which applicants were enrolled last year. It happens that the minimum score of the last applicant for three exams is more than 300. This happened due to additional points awarded for individual achievements. Each university has its own scoring system. You can get acquainted with it on the site of the institution.

In this article:

1. Medal

If you are an honors student, awarded, then you can count on additional points upon admission. A silver medal gives the same benefits. For example, in 2018, for the presence of a gold or silver medal, the maximum 10 points will be given by the most prestigious universities in the country: and

2. TRP

“Ready for work and defense” - this is the name of the program for passing physical standards. To receive bonuses upon admission, you need to successfully complete all the tests and receive a golden badge of distinction. For such an achievement, universities are ready to add up to 5 points.

3. Special sports merit

They highly appreciate the success of applicants who defended the honor of the country at international sports competitions. Champions of the Olympic, Paralympic, Deaflympics and the European Championship can count on 10 additional points when entering any university.

Universities offer bonuses for prestigious sports awards

4. Olympics

Be careful here. Not every Olympiad will bring you the coveted bonuses. It all depends on its level, profile and priority for the university. The most prestigious are the 1st level Olympiads. Prize-winners and winners are enrolled in them without entrance tests. You can find all information about the Olympiads on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science.

5. Final essay

Yes, yes, the compulsory essay on literature, which is written by all students of the final grades, can also bring you extra points. You do not need to print the essay, it is enough to notify the selection committee that you want to use it to calculate points. The essay will be found in the database, checked again and given points, no more than 10.

December essay will help you get the right points

6. Volunteering

Your good deeds can also be considered for admission. Of course, just moving the grandmother across the road or saving the kitten is not enough in this case. Volunteer activity must be documented (show the volunteer book). No more than 4 years must pass from the date of its completion. Usually 1-2 points are awarded for participation in charitable projects. But not all universities do this.

7. Contests

Take into account the participation of applicants in creative and intellectual competitions, which are aimed at identifying outstanding abilities. Basically, bonuses are awarded for prizes in competitions close to the profile of the university. For example, MEPhI adds 3 points to the winners of the "Practice on mock-ups" competition, gives from 3-4 points to the winners of the "Aerobatics" open competition in the areas of physics, mathematics and information technology. The same item includes the national championship in professional skills among the disabled and people with disabilities "Abilimpics".

We have collected information about everything for which you can get extra points.

And how to get additional points for the exam in 2017?

If someone doubts that he will win the competition of applicants by the sum of points for the Unified State Examination, and at the same time does not have the opportunity to enter a prestigious university for contract training, you can try to remedy the situation by paying more attention to your portfolio. In 2017, the admission committees of Russian universities have the right to award up to 10 additional points for the personal achievements of a graduate.

What exactly is included in the list of individual achievements approved by the Ministry of Education, as amended on July 29, 2016? We take into account that victories and prize-winning places at the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren and Olympiads from the list of the Ministry of Education and Science are not indicated in this list, such applicants are equated to persons who have scored 100 points in a subject corresponding to the profile of the Olympiad and are credited by a separate order.

The title of champion or medalist of the Olympic or Deaflympics, winners of the world or European championships in Olympic sports.
Members of national teams that compete at international championships in Olympic sports.
Graduates with a gold badge for the TRP complex (mandatory with a certificate).
Certificate of secondary education with honors, certificate with a gold or silver medal.
Diploma of secondary vocational education with honors.
Victories and prize-winning places in Olympiads that are not taken into account as a priority right for this area of training, as well as prizes at the regional stage (third) of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren.
Participation in volunteer activities, confirmed by a certificate, provided that the applicant was a volunteer no later than four years before the current admission campaign.
The grade given by the university based on the results of checking the final essay, which students write in December.

Least of all universities, unfortunately, pay attention to volunteering. Olympic champions and honors certificates are respected by almost all universities, and TRP badges are also most often accepted by the admissions committee as an argument in favor of awarding additional points. But in different universities for success in physical education, applicants are awarded a different number of points. Each university independently decides how many points it should evaluate the physical fitness of its first-year students.

Anyone can pass the TRP complex today for free, you just need to prepare for several sports disciplines. Running for a hundred meters, running for three kilometers (for girls - for 2 km), pull-ups on the horizontal bar for boys and from a prone position on a low bar for girls, as well as tilts while standing on a bench. In addition, candidates must pass disciplines of their choice: long jump, swimming, cross-country skiing, rifle shooting, projectile throwing, kettlebell snatch for boys, as well as testing sports skills in a camping trip.

How many points can I get for the TRP gold badge in the 2017 admissions campaign?

Several universities in Moscow:

at the Pirogov Medical University for the TRP they give 2 points;
RANEPA - 2 points;
NRU HSE - up to 5;
Moscow State University - 2;
MGIMO - 1

in St. Petersburg:

UFS im. Lesgaft - 10 points;
GUAP - 10;
POLYTECH - 10;
LETI - 3;
Technological Institute - 3;
ITMO - 2;
BSTU VOENMEH - 2
St. Petersburg State University - 1.

As you can see, the accrual of bonuses is very diverse. And yet, it turns out that you can not have such brilliant knowledge in mathematics and physics as another applicant, but go through the competition for the technical direction of training and leave the competitor “with a nose” simply because you have a TRP badge. That is, you run faster and pull up more times in a certain time. And so not only on the technical direction of training, but also on the legal, and on the medical - too. Is this good or bad?

The fact that the government of our country began to pay great attention to physical education and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle is, no doubt, a plus. Schoolchildren now have three physical education lessons a week, each school has a modern football field in the yard, which should benefit the younger generation. But is it right for sports achievements to get an advantage when entering a university if it trains not athletes, but, for example, design engineers?

It seems, just based on common sense, one or two points for the TRP gold badge - this can be understood, but 10 points for physical education and the same 10 points for a certificate with a gold medal are still incomparable merits.

Since 2015, universities have been allowed to award applicants up to twenty points for individual achievements. Many children forgot about the lessons, preparing for the Unified State Examination and rushed to collect portfolios: certificates of participation in the volunteer movement, diplomas from all competitions, large and small Olympiads, diplomas from all sports competitions. After looking at the results of the adopted resolutions, officials from the Ministry of Education and Science allowed to award a total of no more than ten additional points for individual achievements. But again, the right to decide how many points and for what successes was given to the discretion of the university management.

Thus, in some universities (UFS named after Lesgaft, St. Petersburg PU "Polytech" and GUAP) there is now a complete leveling. All applicants who have merits from the list approved by the Ministry of Education and Science will be awarded the same 10 points - for winning the subject Olympiad, for the TRP badge, and for years of work aimed at obtaining a certificate with honors.

And reality, as always, responds to new challenges. In St. Petersburg, for example, twenty centers have already been opened where you can pass the standards of athletes and receive the coveted badges. And imagine, strange cases have already been noticed when graduates (seemingly rather sickly, and not at all athletic) claim that they will receive additional points because they have gold for TRP standards. And, as a result, such applicants have a reduced motivation to participate in subject Olympiads at the university level.

And how do you feel about the existing system of awarding additional points to applicants? And what system do you think would be fair? Join our discussions in the "comments" or share your thoughts by writing your own article or note about it.
