Mining University is the leader in the ranking of universities participating in the CASE-IN Championship

Saint Petersburg Mining University has become the leader of the updated rating of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, compiled based on the results of student teams' performances for all seasons.

In addition, his teams were among the top three in the areas of "Oil and gas business" and "Electric Power industry".

Starting in 2019, the Reliable Change Foundation, acting as the organizer of the competition, has changed the scoring system in order to motivate new participants. Now, the points scored based on the results of previous years, with the exception of the last final, are multiplied by a factor of 0.5. In other words, the achievements of the past year are becoming more significant than the historical ones.

Despite this, the Mining University, one of the old–timers of the championship, managed to demonstrate impressive results. His positions in one of the oldest and most prestigious sections are particularly convincing. – "Mining".
