Successes at the CASE-IN championship allow KuzSTU to strengthen its position in the ranking of the best universities in Russia

Following the results of the XIV season of the International Engineering Championship CASE-IN Kuzbass State Technical University named after T.F. Gorbachev took the third place and entered the top 5 Russian universities in terms of the number of wins and prizes. This achievement is of particular importance: CASE-IN is once again included in the list of student Olympiads, the results of which are taken into account when calculating the indicator "Number of winners of student Olympiads" in the annual ranking of the best universities in Russia RAEX-100.

Thus, the victories of KuzSTU students in the championship directly affect the university's position in one of the most authoritative systems for assessing the quality of higher education in the country. The indicator "Number of winners of student Olympiads" is included in the block "Conditions for quality education" and has a weight of 2.5% in the overall rating methodology.

Kuzbass Polytechnic University is not only an active participant in the championship, but also a permanent partner of the project. KuzSTU is one of the universities whose teams regularly become prize-winners and finalists of the CASE‑IN, along with the University of Science and Technology MISIS, Kazan National Research University of Technology, National Research University "MEI", Tyumen Industrial University and other leading universities of the country, which are among the top 100 RAEX.

For the university, the participation of students in the CASE-IN becomes an additional confirmation of the quality of training and the involvement of young people in solving real engineering problems. The championship is established not only as a competitive platform for industry cases, but also as a significant element of the country's educational ecosystem, where student achievements directly affect the positions of universities in reputable Russian rankings.

Reference. The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Presidential Platform Russia – the Land of Opportunities, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.

RAEX-100 is the only Russian educational rating that has successfully passed the international audit of the IREG Observatory on Academic Ranking and Excellence. In 2026, 213 universities took part in the survey, and the total number of online survey respondents exceeded 160,000 people.
