List of Moscow universities with budget places and passing scores

There is no objective criterion that allows one to determine with mathematical accuracy which university in Russia is the coolest. But experts high school economies have published figures that set some priorities in this area. On the basis of HSE's annual study, Mel has figured out the latest trends in Russian higher education.

For those who are preparing for the main school exam

To begin with, according to tradition, a few numbers. Since 2015, the number of universities in Russia has decreased by 16 - from 441 to 425. The number of state-funded places has also decreased: this summer, 275,000 people entered universities on a state-funded basis, which is 5% less than last year. But based on HSE data, the merger of universities did them good: weak universities were merged with strong ones, which made the quality of their applicants much higher. True, where universities of different directions were united, the quality of admission decreased.

A dozen universities, which are very difficult to get into, have not changed much. Already long years the top two lines are occupied by MGIMO and MIPT: at the same time, the passing score at MIPT remained unchanged - 93.8. Both universities recruited about 20-30 more people for the budget than last year. Otherwise, the picture has not changed much, only the passing scores have increased: the third place went to the Higher School of Economics with an increase in the passing score by almost three points, followed by St. Petersburg State University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, MEPhI. Strongly lost in the ranking of the First St. Petersburg honey - fell to 15th position from last year's ninth.

For the first time in the top ten came St. Petersburg University information technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) and Moscow Linguistic University (MSLU). In both, the passing score increased by an average of 4.3 points, although there were also more students on the budget.

Several more important conclusions about the trends and state of Russian education can be drawn from the study.

1. Leading universities are growing, lagging behind are falling further behind

The average score of the leading universities is growing, and the unpopular ones are losing all remnants of attractiveness. The gap between them is widening. Such dynamics is observed mainly in universities of engineering and technology, as well as natural sciences (biology, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry). The HSE concludes that the demand for engineers and specialists in the field of natural sciences At the same time, the number of budget places is growing in parallel. As a result, strong applicants choose prestigious universities that can provide them with the required level of education (even if it is paid), and bad students fill excess budget places in outsider universities.

1. Demand for teaching and nursing professions on the rise

The proportion of applicants with high scores (more than 70) who applied for the specialty of a teacher has grown significantly. 46% enrolled versus 36% last year. The number of applicants with low scores (below 56) decreased from 19% to 15%. Medical schools occupy high positions in the ratings annually, but in the summer of 2016 increased GPA in the direction of "nursing", which happened for the first time.

1. Farming is not popular at all.

With a huge number (more than 11 thousand) of budget places for the agricultural direction, only graduates with low USE result. At the same time, it is impossible to simply reduce the number of state-funded places here: the economy needs graduates of these specialties.

1. Increased interest in creative specialties

Despite permanent (and other creative specialties) in universities, applicants vote for them with their feet. The average score has increased in “advertising and public relations”, “journalism and literary creativity”, “linguistics and foreign languages"," Oriental and African studies. Several times more students were admitted to these areas than the budget places were allocated.

Annual monitoring of the quality of admission to universities has been carried out since 2009. Research group HSE compiles it on the basis of data collected from university websites. This year, the monitoring was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science and the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. The research partner is the project "Social Navigator" of MIA "Russia Today". Data are presented for 425 universities, admission to which is carried out mainly on the basis of the results of the Unified State Examination.
