EGE points for admission in May. Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI): reviews. How individual achievements are taken into account

I am the mother of a third year student. My son is studying to be a programmer. It's very hard to learn, three skins are torn off. Especially in the first year, especially Vestyak!) But, those who really want to study, and did not just come for a crust, they are always afloat. For three years, according to the son, either those who obviously didn’t pull it off and transferred to another university easier, or those who “scored” on their studies at all, did not appear at lectures, did not pass laboratory, tests and exams, were expelled.

My eldest son finished his studies at the 1st faculty this year and entered graduate school without exams. When he defended his diploma, the audience applauded. I can say that it is difficult to study, it will not work out, the granite of science needs to be gnawed. Teachers of a high level and the old school, they forge today's highly qualified personnel. Of the 27 people who entered the department with my son, only three came to the finish line. But these are experts of the highest level. Employers are ready to take them on any conditions. 02.07 with the youngest son also submitted documents to the MAI. As for the admissions committee, I agree, it’s a complete mess, it’s surprising that for so many years the people who organize the admission of applicants have not bothered to monitor other universities (how are they?) or at least transfer the selection committee to a recreation center where there are chairs. A huge inconvenience - you can’t choose faculties in one place by priority, I had to go through this hell twice.

The first time will be difficult. The most common question in my head will be "why do I need it?" will concern primarily inscription, engineering, chemistry. You will have to come to terms with what you need, and grit your teeth to hand over to teach, cram, subjects. Should I buy blueprints? In my opinion only as a last resort. Believe a person who is not adapted for drawing in any way - any drawing can be handed over by bugging the teacher with his diligence and constant correction of the jambs indicated by the teacher (I didn’t get paid for the engineer), but the purchased drawings are fired immediately and there is a risk of being sent with them . After the first failures in the session, there may be an acute desire to dump somewhere where it is easier. Not even passing the exam in three attempts and going to paid courses is not at all a reason to fulfill this desire, especially if there is only one tail. Approximately such difficulties, future freshmen.

MAI is by my side. She taught at a nearby school, a lot of students went to the Moscow Aviation Institute, and mostly three students. In my opinion, everyone who wanted to, everyone did. Information from 7 years ago. Only one faculty remained strong there, programming. Our school used to have grades 9-11, which were taught by teachers from the Moscow Aviation Institute, 15 years ago they were in great demand, there was a competition. 7 years ago they took everyone there indiscriminately, now they just can’t recruit for one subgroup in the class. I think that the MAI can be considered as a fallback. She graduated from MSU VMK herself, three years ago her son graduated (budget). It is difficult to study and no bribes are taken there, they tear up three skins. On the course, the son has less than half of the course left for the diploma, and the payers are expelled without hesitation, the son's classmate (payer) flew out of the 2nd year and landed at the MAI, and finished it without much bothering. But in general, I'm not very happy, as they teach at VMK now, specialists from Baumansky are much stronger.

Hello, periodically looking through the records, I noticed that there are very few plums about MAI. Well, here's my review of MAI. To put it mildly, I skipped the 11th grade, and therefore I passed the USE unimportantly, I passed 5 subjects: Russian, mathematics, English, social studies, and took geography as a spare. There was no definite goal for admission, I thought something related to the economy, but I didn’t even plan geography. So it turned out that geography came out strong, for which it almost did not prepare. It so happened that I entered the MAI. A logical question arises, what can be done with geography there, and so, there is a specialty "environmental safety of space activities", I went there because of the romantic name, not really imagining what I would study.

A little about the curriculum The first year was very difficult for all my classmates, since we are all practically humanists, and in the first semester our curriculum was littered with mathematics, physics, descriptive geometry, and so on, there was only one subject in the specialty. They handed over the session with the idea that after the 1st course there would be no more physics and mathematics. It was very hard when you hate these objects with all your heart. In the second semester, history repeated itself, but more specialized subjects appeared, now I'm in my second year, I have difurs, engineering, materials science, twims, like the last semester of torment, but we are already used to it in general, although we tirelessly repeat: " we are ecologists" The educational process Attendance is not the toughest thing in this institute, there are subjects that you must attend (engineering graphics, English), there are some that you don’t need, everything is different here, I don’t have the best attendance, but then have to pay for it at the end of the semester. The schedule is issued at the beginning of the semester, and no longer changes, well, unless you personally agree with the teacher. There are a maximum of 4 pairs per day, that is, you finish at 16 days. Saturdays are different for everyone, we didn’t study before, now we study once every two weeks.

The buildings and dormitories of the Corps are all in one place, but their condition is terrible, the elevators work every other time, the toilets are holes in the floor, and this is in the main building, there is no place to sit between couples, but we don’t have a wardrobe, I think this a plus, since there are no eternal queues, and you can calmly sit in the audience in a jacket and a hat, I remind you that the buildings are terrible, the windows come with huge gaps. I don’t live in a hostel, but I was in them, there are block and corridor types, it all depends on the faculty, but the hostel of my faculty with the loud name “space” is in a deplorable state.

The entertainment program is run by the trade union bureau, and it depends on everyone, but there is always the opportunity to go to the theater for free, to museums, etc. A lot has already happened, but I can’t say anything about the May spirit, MAI has its own traditions, for example, when the whole institute drinks on a box on September 1, and then the police unanimously disperse everyone, in general, our institute is called musical and alcohol, but if you don’t drink, then no one forces you. There are a lot of chants about Mayevites, and probably the Mayevian spirit makes him love him, despite all his minuses. MAI IS ME, MAI IS US, MAI IS THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY.

MAI is by far the main institute in aviation. But it would not hurt to make a small repair in the hostel, otherwise it turns out when we study, then everything really corresponds to a high level. And when we come to the hostel, then excuse me, it doesn’t correspond at all ... Yes, of course, Muscovites and Muscovites don’t give a damn about it, of course, Tony went home and ate mom’s borscht. But after all, Moscow is not all of Russia, but Russia is us, people from all over the country. And all these Muscovites are only nose to the top, but there is no sense. They don’t know a lot, and they are very stupid, I even began to notice that if they are stupid, then one hundred percent is a Muscovite. Although I am not against all Muscovites, understand me correctly, but those whom I met are darkness and horror ...

completed the first course at ENGEKIN MAI

about the admissions committee, when I entered, I was also wildly horrified by everything that was happening, I even thought about abandoning the idea of ​​​​going there, but no, I did it all the same) such a mess is always going on there and in my opinion they are not going to change anything, the main thing is not to judge it the whole institute!

at the expense of the repair - at first it catches your eye, of course, the situation, but then you get used to it) and in the ENGEKIN building itself there was a repair recently, everything is sooo good there + they built a new building now, I don’t remember the truth for which faculty

education itself is at a good level, not bad, but not excellent either, you understand, you don’t enter Moscow State University. teachers really teach, in most cases they won’t give a grade for beautiful eyes) for a year I remember teachers in law, history (which I didn’t like, but I went to the lectures of this teacher with pleasure), matana (it’s generally difficult to forget), economics, computer science, statistics, etc. All of the above are excellent teachers!

BUT! Separately, I want to say about the dean's office and everything connected with it - it's just hell! horror! nightmare! the people working there are just non-humans, I can’t say otherwise. that there are girls sitting in the dean’s office itself, from whom you will never get anything, always some kind of evil, and so on, I don’t understand why they went to this job if they don’t like it, that the worst nightmare is the deputy. dean - I don’t know at all who let her work with people, especially with students! she constantly yells at everyone, in the literal sense of the word, I have never seen her so that she doesn’t yell at someone, if you need to get something from her - you yourself understand what awaits you. it remains only to limit yourself as much as possible from this person, but when you have to face, in any case, an unpleasant aftertaste remains after communication. it seems that she is either sick in the head, or it’s time to treat her nerves, or she just likes to take out all her anger on students

otherwise the institute is good) I have never regretted that I entered here, and the atmosphere is good (well, almost) and teaching!

Information about the university

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was an intensive development of aviation science and technology. This has led to an increased demand for specialists with appropriate qualifications in the industry. The initiator of the creation of special centers for research and training of engineering personnel was Professor N. E. Zhukovsky. Realizing the importance of this issue, in 1930, on the basis of the Aeromechanical Faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, VAMU (Higher Aeromechanical School) was organized with an aeronautic, engine building and aircraft building department. In August 1930, this institution was renamed the Moscow Aviation Institute.

In the memorable year of 1930, the first graduation of a large number of aviation engineers took place at MAI, many of whom joined the teaching staff of the educational institution. In the same period, postgraduate studies appeared, in which designers and scientists were enrolled, who later became widely known.

The structure of the educational institution was constantly improved, adjusting to new requirements and discoveries in the aviation industry. That is why in 1933 the Faculty of Engineering and Economics appeared at the institute, which trained specialists in such areas as economics and the organization of the aviation industry. And in 1935, the Faculty of Aircraft Weapons appeared, where students were trained to handle aircraft combat installations, as well as navigation and radio equipment.

By 1940, the institute consisted of 5 faculties, 38 departments, 24 specialized classrooms, 22 laboratories, equipped training workshops, and a flight training detachment. After the war, MAI began to develop specialized lecture courses and experimental facilities for rocket and jet engines, to train specialists, taking into account new discoveries in science. In the 50s, departments for the design and design of rockets were opened, and in the 80s, the MAI-89 ultralight aircraft was developed, which subsequently set a record for the speed of ascent to a height of three thousand meters. In 1998, the Moscow Aviation Institute received a certificate confirming the right to develop light civil aircraft.

Today, the university is recruiting students for the following faculties:

  • Aviation equipment;
  • Aerospace;
  • aircraft engines;
  • Applied mathematics and physics;
  • Radiovtuz MAI;
  • foreign languages;
  • Robotic and intelligent systems;
  • social engineering;
  • pre-university training;
  • Aircraft radio electronics;
  • Applied mechanics;
  • Control systems, informatics and electric power industry.

In addition, the Military Institute of the MAI, the Engineering and Economic Institute of the MAI, as well as the Institute for Advanced Studies and Retraining of the MAI are involved as faculties.

The Moscow Aviation Institute operates full-time, part-time and part-time forms of education (evening), which makes learning as convenient as possible. Thanks to multi-level training in various specialties, applicants can receive:

  • elementary education;
  • general;
  • secondary vocational;
  • higher education;
  • second degree;
  • postgraduate education;
  • preparatory courses for working specialties;
  • training;
  • professional retraining.

For visiting applicants, a hostel is provided, which is located on the campus. In total, there are seven dormitory buildings, where the number of places is 4805. All questions about the settlement are resolved in the dean's offices of the faculties. Recruitment of applicants is carried out for state-funded and paid places for specialty, bachelor's and master's programs, also in the branches there is a recruitment of those wishing to receive secondary vocational education. All students studying full-time on a budgetary basis can apply for nominal and state scholarships. The scholarship (type and size) depends on academic performance and the presence of special merit in research, scientific, social, sports and cultural activities.

The educational institution has postgraduate and doctoral studies.

Postgraduate studies are conducted in 54 specialties of chemical, technical and physical and mathematical sciences, and in 6 specialties of philosophical, political, historical and economic sciences. More than 10 scientific areas in the field of mechanical engineering, mechanics, and control processes are represented in the doctoral program. There are also special Councils for those wishing to defend a doctoral or master's thesis.

At the Moscow Aviation Institute, 25 departments have been created (or reorganized), where educational activities are carried out on the basis of various scientific organizations. It is possible to obtain a second higher education, both after graduation from the university, and in parallel with training. Education takes place at the faculties: Engineering and Economics Institute MAI, Aviation Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Applied Mechanics, Foreign Languages, Aerospace.

This institution of higher education offers distance learning:

  1. Educational and Methodological Center for Distance Learning of the Engineering and Economic Institute of the Moscow Aviation Institute;
  2. Distance learning system for mathematical disciplines;
  3. Resource center for scientific research and innovative technologies.

The branches of the university, where specialists are trained, are located in important centers of the rocket and space and aviation industries - in the city of Zhukovsky, Khimki, Baikonur and Akhtubinsk. More than 2,300 teachers teach students at the institute, including about 450 doctors of sciences and professors, more than 1,100 candidates of sciences and associate professors. About 70% of the teaching staff have a title or a degree, which significantly improves the quality of the education provided. The rector of the university is Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences Anatoly Nikolayevich Gerashchenko.

Also, the institute has an external study, thanks to which you can qualitatively prepare for admission and passing the necessary exams. The rating of the university (among Russian universities) is not particularly high, but numerous positive reviews, a relatively low passing score and a sufficient number of budget places attract many applicants. In addition, in order to facilitate employment after graduation, the MAI Employment Center was created, in the database of which there are more than 200 companies interested in graduates.

The Institute has its own airfield, where students of the Faculty of Aviation Engineering practice, training of specialists for the defense and aerospace industry is carried out on various types of aviation equipment. MAI has a high-quality educational and laboratory base and a highly qualified teaching staff, which makes it possible to provide high-quality education for students.

Higher education provides an opportunity to get a decent job. This is taught to schoolchildren long before the time comes for them to decide how their future life should develop. Therefore, many applicants are extremely responsible about where to continue their education. Such future students carefully examine information about the future university. This article is intended to make the process a bit easier. It will describe the Moscow Aviation Institute (departments, faculties, admission conditions). This information will allow you to make an informed decision: is it worth choosing the educational institution in question for yourself?

About the university

Over the years of its existence, MAI has grown from a small aeromechanical school to one of the largest national research universities. Today, 1800 experienced competent teachers train more than 20 thousand future specialists at 12 faculties in 42 areas of training. Graduates of the institute under consideration are extremely in demand. Thus, the employment of students is guaranteed.

Positive reviews

Is it worth it to go to MAI? Reviews and opinions of people differ. Often in the most dramatic way. However, most of the feedback is positive. Students and graduates talk about competent, experienced teachers, high-quality knowledge gained at the university. Many share that they were able to get a good job after completing their studies. Most of the graduates do not regret the years spent at this institute.

Negative Feedback

However, not everyone speaks of studying at MAI with such tenderness and gratitude. Some claim that many teachers do not provide knowledge properly. Such students talk about the constant lateness of professors, the lack of full-fledged classes, problems with the admissions committee, and the lack of relevant teaching materials.

It is not easy to choose which responses to believe. Most likely, all of them partly have a certain basis. As a rule, it all depends on the specific people with whom you will have to cooperate. Conscientious teachers will provide quality knowledge, others will waste your time.

passing score
