LETI became one of the best universities in Russia according to students

According to the results of the annual study "Russian Universities through the eyes of Students", St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University LETI has received the Green Mark award for the fifth time in a row.

The Social Navigator of MIA Rossiya Segodnya and the Tabiturient project presented the results of the sixth annual study "Russian universities through the eyes of students", based on an analysis of student reviews.

St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "LETI" received the "Green Label", an award that is awarded to providers of high-quality educational services based on feedback from 2015-2020. The university is marked with a badge of distinction for the fifth time in a row, starting in 2017.

According to the results of the analysis of reviews, as well as an anonymous survey of students and staff of the University of St. Petersburg State Technical University, LETI received 8.8 points out of 10 possible. The highest rating was given to the convenience of the university buildings (8.75 points). The university's strengths also included the condition and equipment of the campus, the quality of education, catering and administrative staff, as well as additional activities at the university.

In their reviews, users of the Tabiturient portal note the high level of professionalism of LETI teachers, wide opportunities for scientific activity and participation in international exchange programs, as well as prospects for internship and employment in partner enterprises.

"The fifth green mark from students is a well–deserved assessment of the work of the entire university staff. Teachers and staff are doing everything possible not only to train modern highly qualified specialists with in-demand competencies, but also to create a friendly youth environment at LETI. Today, an innovative scientific and educational ecosystem is being created at the university, which makes possible the individualized training of research engineers, and a youth policy is being developed that promotes the professional development and diverse personality development of students.", - said the Vice-rector for Youth Affairs and Public Relations of St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI" Olga Ivanova.

The methodology of the rating "Russian universities through the eyes of students – 2021" consists in analyzing the so–called "drains" - detailed reviews of universities left by users of the Tabiturient website, which may include students, teachers, university staff, as well as people familiar with the situation.

At the first stage of the review, the editors filter out unsubstantiated and suspicious reviews and post the approved texts on the Tabiturient project page on the VKontakte social network. By voting, the group members determine the degree of confidence in the published opinion, after which the rating compilers decide whether to take the review into account in the university assessment. Each "drain" has its own weight – the number of people who supported the review. Thus, the university's rating depends not only on the number of positive, neutral or negative "drains", but also on the number of readers who agree with the opinion.

Then, an index is calculated using a special formula, which is translated into a score on a ten-point scale. Universities that receive more than 8.5 points are awarded the "Green Mark" badge of distinction.

267 state universities and 4 branches participated in the study "Russian universities through the eyes of students – 2021". The experts processed more than 3,400 pages of texts with reviews and analyzed more than 78,000 ratings. 17 universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg received the Green Label award. Among the St. Petersburg universities, in addition to St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI", St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg Mining University and the First St. Petersburg State Medical University named after academician I.P. Pavlov.
