In 2017, the championship includes five areas (leagues): "Electric power industry", "Mining", "Geological exploration", "Metallurgy", "Oil and gas business". Competitions are held in those universities whose teams won last year. On February 28, the championship was already held in Yekaterinburg - at Ural Federal University and Ural State Mining University.

The championship consists of two parts: in-person qualifying stages at university sites and the final for the best teams, which will be held on May 30-31, 2017 in Moscow. This year, 85 qualifying stages will be held at the sites of 47 technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries - according to the organizers, about 3.2 thousand students will take part in them. The best teams will have the opportunity to complete internships or internships in leading Russian industry companies. The winners of the mining and electric power engineering leagues will also be able to participate in the annual summer educational programs "Mining School" and "Energy of Youth".

In 2017, the Case-in is supported by five federal ministries - the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The championship is also supported by Rosneft, Tatneft, SUEK, SO UES, Rosgeologiya, FGC UES, Mechel, EvrazHolding, and Rushydro. The case-in is taking place for the fifth time, but previously it was held under the names of the All-Russian Case Solving Championship in the field of mining (2013-2014) and the All-Russian Fuel and Energy Case Solving Championship (2015).
