The partner of the CASE-IN championship of the R.E. Alekseev NSTU continues its progressive development

The university admissions campaign is in full swing. This year, it follows new rules. The Minister of Education and rectors of leading Nizhny Novgorod universities spoke about the important features of admission. Among them is the partner of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" of the R.E. Alekseev NSTU.

Olga Petrova, Minister of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region: "Firstly, now applicants will be enrolled in one wave, so applicants should not focus on last year's passing scores. Secondly, documents can still be submitted to five universities at the same time, but not to three, but to a much larger number of areas. Each university determines how many of them there are on its own."

Another innovation: universities establish a list of entrance examinations in several subjects for applicants to choose from. This will allow higher education institutions to select the best applicants, and for applicants it increases the chances of enrolling with a different set of exam results. At the same time, it is not necessary to provide their results to the university. After submitting the application, the data from the shared database will be downloaded automatically. In this case, the system will select the results of the Unified State Exam in those subjects where they are the highest.

Rector of the R.E. Alekseev NSTU Sergey Dmitriev: "This year, the number of budget places at the technical university has increased by a quarter compared to last year. We have opened a new specialty "Information security of automated systems". In addition, we are opening six new certified laboratories. NSTU is a core university and this has allowed us to strengthen its material and technical base, we have the opportunity to work on various educational platforms. During the year of the pandemic, we learned how to conduct not only lectures, but also laboratory work remotely, but tried, if the situation allowed, to give the children practical classes in person. The university has close ties with enterprises. Starting from the third year, students undergo internships and internships directly at the workplace, and employees of enterprises work part-time and teach at the university."

The Technical University remains attractive for international students, there are more than 650 of them, 200 are engaged in the preparatory department. They are mostly citizens of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and China, but there are also those who came to study at NSTU from Europe – from the Czech Republic. Due to the coronavirus situation, many foreigners have gone home, but continue to study remotely. The limited number of students from abroad is due to the fact that NSTU has been a closed university for a long time, and some specialties remain so even now.

It is the main university for training personnel for the nuclear industry, and the oil and gas industry is in high demand. His high-quality education is confirmed by the fact that the NSTU team has won first place in Russia at the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship for the third year in a row. This year, Polytechnic students have developed a mobile application for the personnel services of Rosatom Corporation.

There are several ways to apply to universities this year – in the traditional way – by personally arriving at the admissions office, by mail, as well as remotely – on the website of the selected university (through the applicant's personal account) and using the Public Services portal. It makes sense to submit documents using only one of the listed methods. After submitting the documents, the applicant will find his name on the list, but after July 29 is the last day of applying for admission based on the results of the Unified State Exam, if there are creative tests at the university, then this will happen earlier. After that, the lists will be depersonalized – the full name will be replaced by the SNILS numbers. And then the names and surnames will reappear in the enrollment order.

Students who enroll without entrance exams, have special rights, or apply for targeted places should submit their final consent before August 4. The remaining applicants must do this by August 11.

This year's enrollment order will appear on August 17th.
