Every year, the requirements of universities change, and future students have more opportunities to apply for places in various educational institutions.

Rules for admission to universities
Entering a university is an exciting process, so before choosing a university you should take into account a number of certain features in order to make it easier for yourself to choose a future profession:
- Unified State Exam. Each direction publishes in advance a list of exams required for enrollment. In general, three exams are required in different areas.
- Passing score. For each exam, universities set a minimum passing score required for consideration of documents for admission.
- Additional tests. Some higher educational institutions (for example, Moscow State University) or areas (for example, journalism) conduct their own internal exams in addition to the Unified State Exam, for which the future student must prepare.
- Individual achievements. Additional bonus points (up to 10) are awarded for gold medal, victories at the Olympiads, a gold GTO badge, volunteering and successfully writing a December graduation essay.
- Number of budget places. Don't forget that budget places at universities are intended both for applicants on a competitive basis and for beneficiaries, Olympiad participants and target students. Therefore, the number of budget places declared by the university can be safely divided by two.

9. How is enrollment done?
Until July 27 inclusive, on its official website, the university publishes lists of applicants applying for a bachelor's or specialty degree in a budget department of full-time or part-time study and who have passed the minimum score threshold.
The lists are ranked by the number of points, that is, higher positions are occupied by applicants whose total number of points for the Unified State Examination, additional entrance tests and individual achievements are higher. The sum of points without taking into account individual achievements is considered, then the profile subject and then in descending order of priority.

A properly executed piece of paper is a document.
Every year, changes in educational legislation can confuse any applicant. Submitting documents to a university can become a very tedious and lengthy process if you do not know the nuances of the admission campaign of your chosen university or the main package of documents required for admission has not been collected.
First, I would like to remind all applicants that it is necessary to pay attention not only to the presence of all the necessary documents, but also to your appearance, when you go to the admissions office. Remember that you are already adults and should look the part: business style clothes, confident speech, documents must be in perfect condition, that is, not wrinkled, not frayed.
List of required documents
Finding out what documents are required for admission to a particular university is now very simple. Such information is available on the websites of educational institutions. Start collecting everything you need in advance so you have time in reserve for unforeseen situations. What you need to have with you and what documents to submit:
Application form for admission. It can often be found on the university website and prepared at home, where no one will distract you from filling out the document;
Photos;
Photocopy of passport;
Original or copy of a certificate or diploma of secondary specialized education;
Medical certificate;
Certificate of delivery or Unified State Exam results.
All documents for admission should be prepared in several copies in case of sudden damage to the first sample. Place them in different folders so that you have everything you need at hand at the right time without haste or panic.
Document submission time
Most often, the largest influx of applicants is observed in the first days of accepting documents. You don’t have to rush, as you risk wasting a lot of time waiting in line at the admissions office. However, do not leave everything until the last day, because if you don’t have some paper, you may not have time to prepare it before the end of the admissions campaign and submit documents on time.
Document submission method
There are several ways to submit documents to a university:
Personal presence at the university. This method is the most advantageous, since if there are any errors in filling out documents for admission or a shortage of them, you will know about it immediately and will have time to correct the shortcomings.
Sending documents by registered mail. This method good for those who live far from the chosen university or for some reason cannot personally bring and submit documents.
Online submission of documents. This type will be available to those applicants who do not have admission preferences and rights to priority admission.
Waiting for the result
A very important point if you applied to more than just one university. Even at the moment of submitting documents, take a walk around the university, think about whether you would like to study here. The first impression is often the most correct. Think about, or better yet, write down on a piece of paper which of the educational institutions you have chosen is most preferable for you. Wait for a response from all universities where you sent your documents, and only then decide on further actions.
Main nuances in different universities
In our country, some educational institutions have the right to set their own entrance exams. These include:
These universities conduct additional exams, some of which are regulated by the government, and some of which are determined by the management of the educational institution itself.
The winners of the Olympiads must provide the university with Unified State Examination results in specialized subjects of at least a certain number of points (65 and above).
Thus, there should not be any particular difficulties in figuring out which documents to submit to your chosen educational institution. Be careful, well prepared and prepared in advance by gathering everything you need. If you have benefits, make sure that documentary evidence this was in your hands. Meet deadlines, take your time, but don’t leave everything until last. Read all the information for applicants on the university website, or directly there, by carefully studying the stands and posters for applicants. Go for a Day open doors. Be confident in your abilities, spend time before the exam on preparation, and be sure to attend a consultation if one is held.
Experts' opinion
Kotov Vladislav, head of the department for admission and pre-university preparation:
– This publication contains a number of factual errors regarding the list of required documents. So, in particular, the current Admission Procedure requires applicants only to provide a document confirming their identity and citizenship, and a document on education of the established form, or copies thereof.
The photographs indicated in the text (2 pcs.) must be provided only to those applicants who enter the university based on the results of entrance tests conducted by organizations independently. Applicants based on the results of the Unified State Exam are not required to provide photographs to the admissions committee.
The medical certificate, as a document, is not mentioned at all in the Admission Procedure. Admissions committees should not require it from applicants.
Evidence of results Unified State Exam is already has not existed for several years. Now all Unified State Exam results are compiled into a special database - the Federal information system ensuring state final certification and admission of citizens to educational organizations for obtaining secondary vocational and higher education (FIS GIA and admission). Each university conducting admissions had to gain access to this system and was obliged to use it to check all Unified State Exam results declared by applicants during the admissions campaign.
A few minor remarks.
The most widespread admission - full-time - begins no later than June 20. At the same time, the experience of past years shows that graduates of the current year by this date, as a rule, do not yet have certificates in hand and, accordingly, cannot submit documents. Therefore, just in the first days of the admissions campaign, there is no influx of applicants. But after a week and a half, at the end of June and beginning of July, the number of applicants actually becomes noticeably greater. At the same time, if the work of the admissions committee is properly organized, there are still no long queues (at least in our university). It is necessary, however, not to forget that the deadline for accepting documents for different categories of applicants may be different. So, if additional creative or professional tests are required for the chosen direction or specialty, the acceptance of documents can be completed as early as July 7 (the exact date must be clarified in the admission rules of the selected university).
Another factual error - winners and prize-winners of school Olympiads from the list approved by the Ministry of Education and Science can take advantage of admission benefits only if they have Unified State Exam results of at least 75 points in a core subject (the article talks about last year’s threshold of 65 points) . At the same time, a specific university can increase this threshold even more. The exact number must be clarified in the admission rules.
