How many schools can you apply to? There will no longer be a choice of five universities. Admission to only one university! When to apply for admission

So the last bells rang in schools, and for high school students it really was the last. Behind the school bench, ahead of preparation for admission to higher educational institutions. The period of graduation from school and the entry into student, adult life is always a difficult burden for a teenager. A lot of questions are spinning in my head: which university to choose, which specialty to start studying in more depth, in which direction do you want to move further in life?

It is precisely because of this uncertainty that many applicants are wondering how many universities can apply to in 2016 in Russia?

The ability to apply to several universities at once has its positive aspects. Firstly, there is always a chance that if you fail to get into one university, then you will definitely be taken to another. And who wants to lose an entire school year if they fail? Secondly, this way you can win a little more time to think about which specialty and which university is better to go to. So, for example, in the process of admission, an applicant gets the opportunity to get acquainted with the structure of the university, its internal procedures, see in what conditions he will have to study, and, in case of enrollment in several universities, choose the option that suits him best.

Rules for submitting documents to a university in 2016 in Russia

In 2016, the rules for admission have changed somewhat. The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation stipulates these changes by the fact that they will make the admission process less stressful and more comfortable for prospective students, as well as slightly lighten and reduce the workload of admissions committees.

How many universities you can apply to in 2016 in Russia - this figure remains unchanged. As in previous years, applicants in 2016 are allowed to apply to 5 universities in the country in three specialties / faculties at each university. However, the process itself has changed. What changes can be identified?

Firstly, if previously applicants, according to their success and academic performance, were offered the so-called “recommended for admission” Universities, then in 2016 this practice is no longer carried out. In other words, the choice of a higher educational institution becomes entirely the responsibility of the applicant himself.

Secondly, the process of filing documents has been streamlined. That is, if earlier applicants came with documents on the very last day of the admission committee, then in 2016 the list of those who must submit their documents in the first wave was indicated. The submission deadlines for each stream are specified in advance by the administration of the higher education institution.

Also, the Ministry of Education reports that in the near future, the number of universities to which you can apply will remain the same. This is because applicants should have more choice. However, the admission process for certain faculties will require additional tests for applicants for a place.

Budget education

How many universities can apply in 2016 in Russia for the budget? The fact is that admission to paid or free education depends entirely on the results of the Unified State Examination, and, if necessary, on a particular specialty, additional tests. Therefore, even if documents are submitted to the budget upon admission, they can still be submitted to 5 higher educational institutions.

Document submission deadlines

If the entrance exams are limited only by the results of the Unified State Examination, then the deadline for submitting documents is July 24, 2016.

If, in addition to the Unified State Examination, an additional creative task is required upon admission, then the documents should be submitted no later than July 5, 2016.

July 10, 2016 - the deadline for submitting documents in the event that in addition to the exam there are additional tests. Successful admission and high scores on the exam, future students!

On June 20, universities began accepting applications from applicants. The main stage of the exam has not yet ended, but many have already passed all the exams. You can choose where to go and prepare documents.

Rosobrnadzor recalled what to look for when choosing universities and how to check them. We tested the site to check universities, talked to students and teachers, and added our tips. Verification by the method of Rosobrnadzor was not very reliable.

How to check the university

First of all, you need to check whether the university has an educational license and for which programs state accreditation has been issued.

Ekaterina Miroshkina

economist

If there is no license, a university or other institution generally does not have the right to teach anything by law. If there is no accreditation, he may and will teach, but he has no right to issue a state diploma.

At the same time, the university can say that it issues diplomas, and even show a sample. But not the fact that these are state diplomas. Such a document may not be suitable in order to someday obtain a certificate of a professional accountant, the status of a lawyer, it will not be possible to work in government agencies and improve one's qualifications.

University students who do not have accreditation are not given a deferment from the army. And if the training is paid, then without a license the tax office will not give a deduction and will not return personal income tax. If parents decide to spend maternity capital on education, it will not work without a license either.

You can check the license and accreditation on the map of universities. You can choose a university by specialty, region or check the documents of a particular university. The card of each university has its documents with expiration dates. There is also a note about the prohibition of accepting documents, if any.

When checking the university, it is necessary to open all the documents in the card, and not just look at the green checkmarks. For example, on June 20, the accreditation of the Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences (Shaninka) was revoked. And on the map of universities there is a mark that accreditation exists and is valid. But if you try to open the evidence, it will not be there. Everything needs to be checked manually.

By the way, the website of the university also has both a license and a certificate of accreditation. Be careful. Especially if you are applying to a regional university that does not have such fame: many media wrote about Shaninka, but they may not write about some conditional academy of different sciences there. You can submit documents, start studying and then find out that the university is without a license. This is Russia, there is a lot here without a license.

How many universities you can choose to apply

Each graduate can apply to five universities, each for three specialties. In one university, you can apply for tuition on a quota, on a budget or for a fee. There are many possibilities.

How to apply

Applications can be submitted in person, by mail, or through the university's website. A student from the village near Orel or from Magnitogorsk can send an application to MGIMO or the Medical Academy in St. Petersburg. There is no need to travel to another city at this stage. But it is worth sending the documents by registered mail.

And then what?

Next is the most interesting: you need to follow the lists, ratings and points. It's a stressful and exciting process because lists can change every day. All applicants apply for several specialties at once, then they take the documents and change their preferences. One day you can go through the competition, but not the next, because the beneficiary came and moved everyone in the ranking.

First wave. Until August 1, you need to take the original document to some specialty. By this time, the first wave of enrollment is over: something is being clarified with the ratings, but not everything. It happens that an applicant is in ninth place out of ten, but really wants to enter this particular faculty, where there are few budget places and high scores.

And so he brings the documents and waits for the lists. After lunch on the last day, two more people bring the originals to the same faculty, and they have one point more. Everything, on the budget, you can no longer have time. We'll have to go in the second wave and choose places from the rest. Sometimes it's just luck, sometimes everything breaks down at the last moment. On August 3, orders for enrollment will appear.

Second wave. If you failed to enroll in the first wave, you can apply for vacant places until August 6. As a rule, these are universities and specialties where there was a shortage: first applications were submitted, and then they were taken away. Most likely, these will not be such prestigious faculties. But even in the second wave, you can get on the budget, get a place in a hostel and a scholarship. Orders based on the results of the second wave will be published on August 8.

Sometimes universities themselves call graduates and invite them to bring original documents to state-funded places. This is done in both the first and the second wave.

What to look for when choosing a university?

Everyone has their own preferences. Someone just wants to get a higher education, someone has a goal to get to Moscow at any cost, many choose a specialty by vocation or put prospects and income in the first place.

But there are general criteria that everyone needs to consider and check:

1. Does the university have a license and accreditation?
2. When the applications are closed.
3. What exam results are required for admission?
4. Are there creative tests and additional exams.
5. What are the health requirements?
6. Whether additional verification is required. Even a medalist may not be admitted to a military school.
7. What was the real passing score for the budget last year. It may change, but as a guide it will fit. In a good technical university in Moscow, the passing score can be 170 or even less. And sometimes in a regional university the passing score is more than 200.
8. How many budget places. There can only be 10 state-funded places at the faculty of journalism or marketing, without a hostel and with a huge competition among medalists. And at the Faculty of Biotechnology, Energy Saving and Petrochemistry, there can be 350 state-funded places, which will easily get a graduate with an average certificate from the outback. The big question is who will get better in life (in T-F, for example, journalism graduates are usually not taken).
9. How is the training: there are universities where they teach in two languages ​​and send them for an internship abroad. Or after the first year you have to pass a creative exam and you can lose a place on the budget.
10. Who is hosted. Studying on a budget is not always the same as living in a hostel. Sometimes it is given only from the second year or only for visitors from distant regions.
11. What are the extra points for? It can be a TRP badge, a victory in competitions, olympiads, in creative competitions.
12. How much does paid education cost - in case you really want to study at this particular university, but there are not enough points.
13. Under what conditions can you transfer to a budget place. Sometimes this is possible after the first course.
14. How much money will you need to live. Even if you study on a budget and live in a hostel, you still need money. The arrangement alone in another city can cost tens of thousands of rubles, even if there is a place in the hostel. Sometimes the family can't afford it and it's better to study where you live.

Entering a university is one of the most important stages in the life of every person. At this moment, the future student chooses for himself not just a profession, but the life path that he will have to follow.

A lot depends on the decision of the applicant: future professional achievements, employment, opportunities for personal growth, and, of course, the level of remuneration. Therefore, it is so important not to make a mistake in solving such a fateful task.

As a rule, long before the “last call”, school graduates and their parents begin to study and analyze new trends related to passing a unified exam and entering a higher educational institution. The reason for this is the constant reformist attitude of education officials, who every year try to optimize the system with “effective” innovations.

In most cases, such innovations include: a change in the scoring scale, new requirements for registration documents, a reduction (increase) in the state order quota, and restrictions on the number of universities to which you can apply.

Thus, it is rather difficult for an unprepared person to understand all the intricacies of the admission procedure and it is better to know in advance your rights and obligations in this field.

What can applicants expect in 2018?

Traditionally, before the start of each academic year, a special commission under the Ministry of Education makes some changes to the basic rules for entering higher education institutions. This is done in order to simplify bureaucratic red tape for applicants and to effectively redistribute students between universities.

Under the new admission rules, all prospective students who have graduated from a comprehensive school can begin the application process from the first week of their graduation. Each applicant has the right to write an application for admission to the lists of students in 5 different universities.

You can send copies of documents to all selected universities via the Internet by e-mail or through special feedback forms on their official websites. As a rule, almost all educational institutions have their own specific admission system, which may include an additional exam, interview or just a consultation, which you should definitely pay attention to.

What will happen to the state order?

At a recent briefing on innovations in the admissions process, representatives of the relevant ministry made a statement that pleased most of the graduates. According to the state order program, the number of budget places will be maintained during the academic period.

In order to provide financial support to students, an amount has already been allocated from the central budget for 575 thousand places in residency, master's, postgraduate and bachelor's programs. The main part of the funding is planned to be directed to the training of specialists from the natural sciences, health care, pedagogy, mathematics and physics.

A reduction in government orders is expected in the areas of law and economics, whose representatives the labor market is literally crowded.

Another feature of the budget distribution in 2018 will be the high priority of stationary education. According to official statistics, students who have received a full-time diploma have an order of magnitude higher knowledge than their part-time counterparts.

What score is required for admission?

As we have long been accustomed to, the best universities in our country require the highest grades to enroll a former student in their ranks. The doors of such prestigious educational institutions are opened to applicants who scored at least 80 points in the Unified State Examination.

In addition, as the practice of recent years has shown, such universities as, for example, MGIMO, St. Petersburg State University or Baumanka, in addition to requiring high results in the unified state exam, also conduct their own individual testing to better determine the level of knowledge of the applicant.

But do not be afraid of additional obstacles. There is a chance to enter the “dream” university, and it is especially great for those who have a decent knowledge base.

Higher education institutions with a lower status are also satisfied with lower USE scores, and you can also avoid passing additional exams or pass a simple interview instead. For many applicants, they are a kind of insurance in case they fail to enter a more prestigious university through the competition.

Negative trends in the education system in 2018

The economic crisis coming on all fronts could not but affect the education system in our country. Even despite the fact that the government is trying with all its might to maintain the existing number of budget places, negative trends are making themselves felt.

Now it has become much more difficult to become part of the state order for a profession than a few years ago, especially for those who chose the correspondence form of education.

But not only applicants felt all the "charms" on themselves. In 2018, there may be a significant reduction in funding for the universities themselves, which will invariably lead to mass layoffs and the closure of many costly educational programs.

Thus, universities will lose a significant part of the personnel resource that has been formed over the years, and, consequently, the system of delivering knowledge may be shaken.

Farewell to the walls of the school is not just the last call, beautiful costumes and the last line and school ball, but also the beginning of an important stage in the life of every graduate. The doors to adulthood open before him, but in order to feel confident and reliable in it, you first need to get a higher education, having achieved a diploma.

The last year of schooling is the period when eleventh-graders and their parents begin to study innovations related to and regulations that determine the rules for applying to universities and academies. You need to understand what exams you need to take for the chosen specialties, see the availability of benefits and bonus points in the selected universities. It is not necessary to rely on the information of past years in this matter.

In 2018, you can choose 5 universities (or 15 specialties) for admission

Every year, officials from the education sector supplement, reform and amend the regulations and procedures, clarifying the terms, opportunities and rules for enrolling in educational institutions. An important point is how many universities and specialties one graduate can “storm”, because the choice of an educational direction affects the ability to get and insure oneself in case of not too high. Let's see what rules will apply to applicants in 2018.

Rules for admission to Russian universities

It is worth recalling that in 2018 the Russian Ministry of Education subjected the rules regarding admission to universities to the following changes:

• for persons who apply for the bachelor's or specialist's level, amendments have been made regarding priority beneficiaries. Now, applicants who are the children of employees of the National Guard of Russia, as well as those who are among the employees and military personnel of this unit, have been added to this category;
• HEIs must now inform potential applicants about the current admission campaign earlier than last year. If back in 2016, the management of higher education institutions published admission news before November 16 of the current academic year, then in 2018 a new rule will apply, according to which all information for applicants should be available no later than October 1. It is assumed that this margin of time will provide an opportunity to better study the requirements put forward by universities and prepare for their implementation;
• new rules come into force for children from the Crimea. For several years, they had the right to apply to mainland universities within a special quota. In 2016-2017, they could also enter without the Unified State Examination, or rather, make a choice in favor of the all-Russian testing or the admission rules of a particular university. Many schoolchildren tried to avoid the Unified State Examination - only 38-45% of all Crimean 11th graders decided to take a difficult test over the course of several years. From 2018, most likely, a presidential decree will be in force for Crimeans, according to which they are required to take the Unified State Examination without fail.

How many universities can I apply to?

The rules for submitting documents to universities and specialties have not changed: graduates of the 11th grade have the right to provide certificates to five institutions of the higher education system. At the same time, in the selected universities, you can put a tick in front of three specialties or areas of training. As a result, the applicant will have the opportunity to get a budget place in one of the 15 specialties, which is not so little for realizing his chance of success.

The main thing is to track the ratings of past years and realistically assess your chances based on the points given in the USE certificates. Another important point: documents can be sent to any of the existing forms of education. If you are not sure that you can take a budgetary place at a hospital, it may be worth playing it safe and submitting certificates for a correspondence or evening faculty. The competition in this case will be an order of magnitude lower, and the scores of applicants will be lower. The university will accept documents in two stages:

• 1st - it is selected for 80% of the places that are financed from the state budget;
• 2nd - on it the filling of the remaining budget places and the transfer of applicants' documents to the vacant places takes place. This is due to the fact that the guys with a high rating in the first wave submit originals for one specialty, freeing up places for 14 other positions in the rankings of universities. So if you're in 21st place out of 20 available budget positions, it's worth the wait. There is a great chance that in the second wave of enrollments you will be among the .

Benefits when submitting documents

It should be noted that some categories of graduates continue to enjoy benefits:

• winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian Olympiads in subjects from the school curriculum receive +10 points to the applicant's rating. However, it is worth remembering that you can only provide a winner's diploma to one educational institution, and you must submit documents to four more universities according to the general rules, so you should choose a priority university responsibly. By the way, the results of the Olympiads are valid for 4 years, so you can use the achievements that were obtained in the 8th-9th grade;
• benefits in the form of a maximum of 10 points can also be brought by the possession of a gold TRP badge, documented volunteering, a gold medal or excellent. The weight of these achievements in scoring is determined by the leadership of the universities. Do not neglect the opportunity to get extra points, so read the admission rules carefully to familiarize yourself with the rector's policy on this issue.

Features of submitting documents to military universities

It is quite natural that among the Russian eleventh graders there are guys who do not consider civilian specialties for themselves, but want to become regular military men. Their choice is institutes and academies of the appropriate profile, which differ from ordinary universities not only in the features of study, the list of specialties and disciplines, but also in the conditions of enrollment. Here we need to focus on two points.

• Unlike civilian higher educational institutions, for admission to which it is enough to provide USE certificates with high scores, admission to a military university involves an additional examination in physical training, passing psychological testing and obtaining a certificate from the medical board. The commission must certify that the health of the graduate will allow him to study at a military university;
• Military universities do not require submission of documents to five institutions and three specialties in each. In this case, you can choose only one educational institution and send certificates, an application and related documents to it.

Given the second rule, it is important to make sure that you do not succeed in becoming a military servant this year. You don't want to waste a whole year. A graduate has the right to apply to four more civilian universities. Choose universities that have a military department, so that later you can work in military structures and law enforcement agencies on a contract basis.

Another opportunity provides

Graduates are now taking the Unified State Exam. We have prepared answers to the most frequently asked questions of applicants and their parents. How many universities can I apply to An applicant has the right to apply to five universities for 3 areas of training in each - that is, to apply for 15 budget places. How to manage their abilities, the guys decide for themselves. You can apply to one faculty immediately for daytime, evening and correspondence courses and for another - for daytime and evening studies. Or choose five faculties, but all with full-time education. Winners and prize-winners of Olympiads for schoolchildren (university or all-Russian), who have earned a benefit upon admission, this year will be able to use it only once. That is, they apply to one university for one area of ​​training as beneficiaries, and to all the others - according to the results of the Unified State Examination as ordinary schoolchildren. What can you ask About any procedural issues: how to get there, where to sit, whether you can go to the toilet, how to fill out forms. The light interferes, a broken chair came across, the room is noisy or stuffy - this can be safely stated. You can ask the organizers for a spare pen, they also need to be informed about the damaged form. It is forbidden to comment on tickets or explain the wording of tasks to examiners. Moreover, there are teachers on duty in the classroom who teach the wrong subject for which the exam is taking place. If there are extra forms in the issued set of documents or some is missing, you must immediately inform the examiner about this. What to bring On the exam, in addition to a passport and a pass, it is allowed to bring a few black gel pens, a bottle of water and a chocolate bar (although the organizers must ensure the drinking regime). It is useful to have a watch on your hand to keep track of the time. It is better if they are mechanical, as examiners may have questions about electronic ones. In addition, it is allowed to take a ruler for an exam in mathematics, a ruler and a non-programmable calculator for physics, chemistry and geography. When writing a work on chemistry, you can also use the periodic tables issued by the organizers and the solubility of salts, acids and bases in water, as well as the electrochemical series of metal voltages. In tasks in physics, all the necessary reference data is already contained. Mobile phones will have to pass before the exam. On the exam, you can’t communicate, get up without permission, change seats, transfer tasks or objects (even permitted ones) to others, leave the class without an examiner. You will be removed from the exam for breaking the rules. Whether to allow the student to retake later, the commission will decide. How to retake All comments on the procedure for conducting the exam must be submitted BEFORE the person left the exam site. First, hand over the work, and then go to the head of the examination point and write a complaint. Six days are allotted for checking papers in Russian and mathematics, and four for other subjects. Although in practice it can take up to 10 days. After that, the points scored must be announced. Dissatisfied with their result can come to the appeal. They are required to show the answer sheet and explain where the mistakes were made. Claims to the text of the task itself are not accepted. But if it is possible to prove the inaccuracy of the wording or the proposed answers, the complaint can be satisfied. Entrance exams filled up in Russian and mathematics can be retaken on reserve days. All other exams will be retaken only the next year. USE results are valid for two years. If a boy graduates from school at 18 According to the law “On Education”, everyone has the right to enter a university after graduation. True, not all military commissars know that 18-year-olds also have the right to enter. And so that they leave the entrants alone, Dmitry Medvedev instructed the ministers of defense and education to consider giving such guys a deferment. When and how to apply to the university You can submit documents to the selection committee in person, send them by mail or fill out an application on the Internet. It is not necessary to hand over the original certificate of passing the exam: a copy is enough. Another option is to simply indicate in the application when, where and for what points the exam was passed. The university itself will check the accuracy of this information and, if everything is confirmed, will allow the applicant to participate in the competition for enrollment. It is necessary to provide the originals of the certificate and certificates of passing the exam only before signing the order of the rector on enrollment. After the first wave, you managed to get into the university, but in another, stronger one, you didn’t have enough points? Feel free to give the documents to where you probably arrived. If there are places left at the desired university and you enter it in the second wave, the first university must return the documents to you within 24 hours. Failed in the second wave? There is hope for an additional set. It will be held if there are free budget places left at the university. This is allowed, because the order for enrollment is now issued by the rector only at the end of August. What score can you get The admission committees will determine the passing scores after the universities receive applications from applicants. But you can look back at last year. This summer's passing and minimum scores may differ, but the order will be the same (see table above). Average and minimum scores of those who entered universities last year (score for the Unified State Examination, 2010)
