Partner universities of the CASE–IN championship increase the availability of high-quality education

Partner universities of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship have taken worthy positions in monitoring the quality of admission to budget and paid places among all Russian universities in 2021. The study has been conducted since 2010 by the Higher School of Economics with the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science based on the results of the summer admission campaign.

The monitoring shows not only the quality of knowledge of the first-year applicants, but also the reputation of the universities themselves. In recent years, it has become a key guideline when choosing a university and an educational program for applicants. The quality of admission is assessed by the average score of applicants enrolled in the first year based on the results of the Unified State Exam.

Last year, the monitoring covered 838 universities, including 404 parent state universities, 345 branches and 89 non-state universities. These are almost all participants in the domestic higher education market with full-time education.

In total, 526.1 thousand students enrolled in universities, which is 28.1 thousand more than a year earlier. Budget quotas were awarded to 346.6 thousand young people (an increase of 26.7 thousand), paid quotas – 179.5 thousand (plus 583 people).

The best university in Russia in the overall ranking of the quality of budget and paid admission was the partner of the CASE-IN championship, Ural Federal University named after The first President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, accepted 7,606 first–year students during the year (an increase of 1,689 people).

Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Siberian Federal University, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Southern Federal University, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Far Eastern Federal University, National Research University "MEI", St. Petersburg State University of Economics.

"Our partners are more than 50 Russian universities, and most of them have received high marks in monitoring the quality of admission to budget places," comments Artem Korolev, director of the Reliable Change Foundation. "We are happy for our partners and especially for the participants in our projects, high school students and students who can study at budget places and receive high-quality engineering education. For our part, we will help students earn additional USE points and benefits for master's and postgraduate studies through our flagship project, the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The allocation of additional budget places mainly fell on regional universities with the highest reputation. Among them is the National Research Tomsk State University, which increased the control figures in one year, including through remote admission, by 63%.

Ratings of universities on the quality of paid admission, tuition fees and the average USE score for enrollment have also been published. More information about the study can be found at the link.
