The Ministry of Education and Science has developed and approved a list of tests that must be passed upon admission to universities.
The Unified State Exam in Russian has been included in the list of mandatory exams that all applicants without exception will have to take.
The corresponding text of the order is posted on the website for the publication of legal acts of the Russian Federation.
It is noted that passing the Russian language exam remains mandatory regardless of the specialty the applicant is applying for.
Thus, the list of subjects that applicants to higher education institutions will have to take will look like this:
- Unified State Exam in Russian;
- a specialized subject that the university is required to select from the approved list of those recommended by the department;
- 1 or 2 specialized subjects, the choice of which, in turn, will be determined either by the university or by the applicant himself.
The following dates have been set for the admissions campaign at the moment.
Universities will have to provide a list of entrance examinations by January 20, 2025. And students will have to decide which subjects they will take upon admission by February 1, 2025.
