NGASU Ogonbatarey team took part in the Super Cup final of the International Engineering Championship", — said the rector of NNGASU Dmitry Shchegolev.

Each of the educational institutions provides its own platform for the selection stage, its own curators, mentors and experts. Holding the championship in different universities will help to discover as many potential specialists as possible among the talented youth of the region.

"For several years now, Nizhny Novgorod Polytechnic University teams have been participating in the CASE-IN championship and winning prizes. So, at the end of 2022, our polytechnic team became the silver medalist in the Super Bowl final of the International Engineering Championship. It is noteworthy that the finalist teams that have already won at least once in the 10 years of the tournament's existence competed for victory, which means that our guys regularly become the best of the best. I would also like to note that our university, as well as its branch, are in the leading positions of their own CASE-IN championship rating. We have taken a leading position in the Digital Atom field, which confirms the high level of training of our students.", — Sergey Dmitriev, Rector of the Russian State Technical University named after R. E. Alekseev, noted.

The competition consists of qualifying stages, which take place in the regions in a face-to-face format, as well as semi-finals in industry areas in a remote format and the final stage, which takes place face-to-face in Moscow.
