Rosstat budget places. Statistics of Russian universities. Problems of corruption in universities

The budget in 2018 is still a test. There is a lot of information on the Internet on this issue; it is located on the websites of universities and other official sources. To help you figure it out, we've collected all the data in one article. In front of you step by step instructions, which will help you assess your chances of free training.

In Russia, the state pays for about 50% of places in universities

Step 1. Find out how many free places there are

Each state university is required to allocate places on a budgetary basis. Number of seats per free branch depends on the popularity of the faculty and specialty. And you can get a budget-funded higher education not only at Moscow universities. In some quantity free places reaches 1.5-2 thousand. For example, in Belgorod, Voronezh, Volgograd, Kirov, Rostov-on-Don, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Chelyabinsk and other Russian cities.

Step 2. Understanding the terms

Let's consider the concepts without which it is difficult to assess your chances of admission:

• minimum threshold Unified State Examination points;
• minimum number of points for admission;
• passing score for universities.

What is the threshold score?

To receive a certificate, you must score a certain number of points in each subject. Here's what it was like in 2017:

• Russian language - 36 points;
• mathematics - 27 points;
• social studies - 42 points;
• computer science - 40 points;
• foreign language - 22 points.

For example, you chose to take Unified State Examination foreign language, then you need to score 36 points in Russian, 27 in mathematics and 22 in a foreign language - a total of 85 points. In theory, this is enough to apply to a university. But in practice, this is very little to enroll in a free department.

What is the minimum score?

Each university sets its own minimum number of Unified State Exam points for admission. Many technical schools are not ready to accept those who scored less than 50 points in mathematics. Humanitarian - put forward increased demands on languages.

What is a passing score?

The passing score depends on the Unified State Exam results with which applicants were admitted last year. Particularly important is the result of the last lucky one, who minimum quantity points went to the budget.

Example. 200 people wanted to enroll, but there were 50 budget places. The student with the lowest score is considered passing. For example, with 150 points, despite the fact that the rest had a higher score.

The average Unified State Exam score in 2017 was 68.2

Step 3. Select a university based on passing score

If you can estimate what score you will get on the Unified State Exam, then it’s time to select a suitable university. By the way, trial exams are a good way to assess your chances.

All universities with free places, they are also called budgetary institutions higher education, for convenience we will divide into three categories:

• the most popular, or top;
• average;
• unpopular.

Typically, top universities set higher requirements, while others lower the bar in order to attract applicants. Let's look at the passing scores of universities in all three categories in 2017.

If your GPA is above 85: passing grades at popular universities

Conclusion. For admission to top universities GPA The Unified State Examination must be above 80-85. It’s difficult to become one of these excellent students, don’t you agree? If you are unsure of good results, consider schools with less stringent requirements.

If your average score is from 65 to 80 points: passing scores in secondary universities

Conclusion. With an average Unified State Exam score of 65-80 in 2017, it was possible to enter budgetary and leading regional universities.

If your GPA is 55-65 points: passing grades at unpopular universities

Conclusion.If you score less than 65, don't panic. Admission scores for many regional universities are below this level. And today you can get a good higher education not only in the capitals.

Step 4. Assess your chances by the number of points

280-300 points- the best universities in the country, any specialties.

200-250 points- popular universities, specialties: linguistics, foreign language, law, economics, management, healthcare, mathematics, physics.

200 points- secondary universities, specialties: information science and computer technology, pedagogy, chemistry and biotechnology, automation and control, electrical engineering, energy. Or leading regional universities, any specialties.

150-200 points- secondary universities, specialties: geology, ecology, vehicles, agriculture and fisheries. Or unpopular universities, any specialties.

Less than 150 points- unpopular universities, some specialties.

Sometimes, even with a high score, you may not get into the coveted top twenty, but with a low score, by luck, you can enter the desired university. The main thing is to take every chance and don’t forget about backup options.

Statistics from Russian universities indicate the commitment of foreigners to receive education in the Russian Federation. Citizens of others are attracted by:

• quality of higher education. Despite some shortcomings Russian universities, traditions of the humanitarian and technical education keep the bar high;
• statistics on budget places in universities suggests the availability of benefits for foreigners, allowing them to study for free.
• financial inclusion(low price of education). As statistics from Russian universities show, the cost of studying at universities with high world rankings is lower than getting an education at a very average US university.
• the cost of living is much more affordable than in European countries or the USA.

Comparative cost of studying at a Russian and American university:

	Tuition fee per semester, rub.	Accommodation on campus, rub.	Accommodation in the private sector without meals, rub.	Note
Southeastern University. State of Louisiana, city of Hamon	199 000	121 000 – 211 000	206 000	Any course
Novosibirsk state university	75 000	900	15 000	The cost of training in the following specialties is presented: Management; Medicine; Mathematics; Destinations that are the most expensive in NSU
	55 000
	45 000

NSU is considered one of the most best universities Russia. It is highly ranked among universities in the world. Russian universities are different high availability education. Each educational institution provides the opportunity to enroll “on a budget.”

If in 1990 foreigners were interested in engineering and technical specialties, that is, the Construction University was listed, then in modern education the percentage of students studying engineering and technical specialties fell by 2.5 times. The Theater University is now of interest to foreign citizens, while for residents of neighboring countries it is considered prestigious Customs University.

Problems of corruption in universities

Even in Soviet times, admission to universities was associated with “nepotism”, “cronyism” or big money. But then the possibility of official paid education did not exist, and real knowledge, sometimes obtained with teachers from a specific university, was taken into account. The applicant, even if he had some “outputs,” was forced to go through preliminary preparation with the teaching staff of a particular university.

The level of training was quite high, so the applicant entered the institute armed with knowledge that was different from other school graduates. With some perseverance and accessibility to the training program, the student could successfully complete his education. This was especially true for the humanities faculties of Moscow State University, where teaching staff could convey the material in such an accessible form that even a student with average scores could cope with the material quite well.

As soon as it appeared paid education, arose. Statistics claim that most fee-paying universities did not conduct preliminary tests at all for admission to the institute. Each higher educational institution called itself a university, had accreditation, but often did not provide a decent education in the proposed specialty.

Today, universities are interested in the number of applicants on a paid basis, so they show “lenience” when admitting, which sometimes leads to the fact that the student “flies out” already in winter session. Parents who have paid for school sometimes do not understand that their “child” still has to study.

When they refer to the example of education in European universities, where everyone is accepted, I would like to point out that these “everyone” represent a different percentage of the students in the school. If in Russian schools all applicants receive an education, then in European universities dropouts occur during the study process.

Having entered the university and studied there for the prescribed period, some students in Europe do not receive diplomas, having failed exit tests. In Russia, all students graduate from school, and if a young person goes to college and passes state exams, then he is guaranteed to receive a diploma, regardless of his actual knowledge.

Employment problems after graduation

The figure shows the ratio of applicants who applied to state universities and were admitted to study. In 2009, the statistics of applicants to universities and the statistics of students in universities correlated as 2:1.

State universities had priority for admission:

As can be seen in the diagram, in 2009, statistics recorded admission to universities in the ratio of 81% - for state universities and their branches, and 19% for non-state universities.

IN Soviet era There was no difficulty in finding a job after graduation. Then there was a distribution, that is, compulsory work for a graduate for three years in the region where specialists were needed. However, the student never knew “to what wilderness he would be sent.”

Modern education does not take on the responsibility of distributing graduates, so young specialists are forced to find jobs themselves. The following problems arise:

• business leaders of people without experience, that is former students;
• in times of crisis, enterprises undergo layoffs and the need for employees decreases;
• graduates are not satisfied with the salary level, and employers are not satisfied with the level of qualifications;
• inconsistency of graduate specialties with market demands. The statistics of Russian universities record the specialties that graduates prefer in non-production areas, while in most regions, in-demand vacancies are in the production sector.

Every year, young people choose prestigious professions (finance, accounting, enterprise management, economics), which are being “stamped” by universities at an increased pace. In 1913, in the city of Ugra, employment statistics for university graduates in these specialties showed 2.5% of unemployed young specialists.

Despite the high need for medical workers and teachers and the fairly massive production of such specialists, large percentage occupied by graduates working outside their specialty. These include:

• 60% doctors and teachers;
• 50% engineers;
• 30–40%% economists and lawyers.

Trends 2016

Statistics from Russian universities show a decrease in their number. If in 2014 there were 2486 establishments, then in 2016 there were 1450. This trend will continue. The existing employment statistics for university graduates in 2016 makes us think about the prospects of getting a good position after graduation:

• graduates are not prepared for the realities of a rapidly changing market; as a rule, they are of little value to the employer due to lack of experience;
• the crisis dictates strict rules, high competition sets stressful loads and requires certain personal qualities, which are not yet available to the young man;
• The graduate himself often sets high salary requirements. 50% of former students refuse a suitable place due to the low rate.

2016 was marked by the fact that there were fewer people wishing to enroll in a university after school. Experts attribute this trend to:

• worsening economic situation (not every parent is able to pay for their child’s education);
• serious reduction of budget places in universities;
• complication of the Unified State Exam (introduction of a second, more serious test in mathematics, required for admission to specialized universities);
• the opportunity to avoid failure in case of admission to a technical school, and later to an institute.

University admission statistics 2016 tend to increase the number of schoolchildren admitted to a technical school or college compared to a university. Results of surveys of students’ parents about choosing a place to study after school (%):

	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015	2016
Technical school, college	8	11	19	22	21	21	23
Institute, university	80	65	58	56	55	55	48
Job	2	2	1	2	1	1	1
No decision has been made yet	6	15	17	12	17	17	21
Having trouble answering	4	7	5	8	6	6	7

The opportunity for applicants to get into budget places depends on their number at the institute, the number of beneficiaries entering the current year and passing grade. In 2016, the number of budget places was reduced by 10%. Statistics from Moscow universities clearly demonstrate the passing grade for budget places in some universities.

The highest passing grade was at the institute School of Studio named after. Nemirovich-Danchenko at the Moscow Art Theater named after. Chekhov - 276. Second place went to MGIMO - 268 points. Third Moscow State University - 265 points.

Prospects for the development of higher educational institutions

The development of higher educational institutions is moving towards its maximum convergence with the economic sphere. There is a reduction in the number of universities, including through their merger. The number of students will decrease in 2018–2019 to 4295.4 thousand people. Which is the minimum over the past years, and an increase is planned by 2029–2030.

The annual reduction in the number of universities is based on audits of specific organizations. The annual report on the work of the university is regularly reviewed. According to statistics, he should stand out among the rest with decent performance.

When considering the prospects of educational institutions, statistics of university graduates by specialty, statistics of education in universities, statistics of salaries of universities are studied. The latest data is very disappointing. Only rectors and deans receive high salaries. The rates for candidates of science are minimal (about 9,000 rubles), through various charges for teaching activities and additional hours, the salary can reach 25,000 rubles.

Great importance for adapting graduates to the needs national economy has a degree of use of interactive technologies at the university. Statistics from Russian universities confirm the benefits of such interactive teaching methods as:

• brainstorming;
• business desk;
• role-playing games;
• situational analysis.

Creation federal universities aims to achieve high level educational process against the backdrop of new technological and research developments. Today there are 10 such universities.

29 higher educational institutions received the status of National Research University. This is due to the creation of a base of competitive universities, supported by the state, conducting scientific and technical developments and creating personnel for the needs of the Russian economy.

The role of economic education

Today, international financial institutions in which Russia participates require the presence of qualified personnel on the ground. As statistics from economic universities show, the demand for education among applicants is only growing.

The most famous higher education institution is the Russian economic academy them. G.V. Plekhanov. Good specialists in this area they are provided by Moscow State University, MGIMO and other financial institutions. The socio-economic institutions that have emerged in recent years (MSEI, SEI) are also intended to serve as replenishment of the ranks of employees of banks and other organizations, which can briefly be called “specialized credit and financial institutions.”

World rankings

Statistics on the number of universities abroad today are not of particular interest. The main thing that world universities fight for is ranking. The first lines of the ranking (17 positions) are occupied by educational institutions in the USA and Great Britain.

Russian universities lately managed to declare itself in the world rankings. Few people in recent times have been able to rank so many universities in the world. Statistics of Russian universities for 2016 show that a total of 13 were included in the top 800 Russian establishments, and Moscow State University rose to 161 place.

How many universities are located in countries neighboring Russia? Number of higher education institutions:

Study of the quality of reception in Russian universities National Research University " graduate School Economics" and the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, together with the International Information Agency "Russia Today", have been conducting for five years, since 2011. The study is based on an analysis of information presented on the websites of higher educational institutions, which is verified with data from universities’ reports to the Ministry of Education and Science. If necessary, data is verified with university admissions committees.

The results of the study (often called monitoring of the quality of admission) are widely used primarily by applicants making decisions about choosing a university and educational program, as well as by the universities themselves to analyze their position in the higher education market. The Russian Ministry of Education and Science and the leadership of Russian regions rely on monitoring results when assessing the work of universities and developing educational policy.

By tradition, the first part of the study—the results of enrollment in budget-funded places—is presented by the Minister of Education and Science of Russia and the rector of the Higher School of Economics in early September. In October, the second part of the study is published, which includes an analysis of paid admission (number of students enrolled, average score and cost of training), as well as its comparison with the quality and size of the budgeted admission.

Monitoring only includes full-time training, as well as only those universities whose admission is determined by the Unified State Examination competition and Olympiads. Creative universities and universities of law enforcement agencies do not participate in the monitoring.

General observations

• Average Unified State Examination points those enrolled in budget places are, as a rule, 5-6 points higher than the average Unified State Exam scores of those enrolled in paid places - this ratio remains the same throughout the entire monitoring.
• In terms of the total number of applicants to the 1st year, the budgetary enrollment is approximately twice as large as the paid one.

Popular areas of training

The extent to which a particular profession is attractive in the eyes of applicants and their families can be indirectly assessed by comparing 1) the shares of Olympiad winners and prize-winners among those enrolled in different areas of training (since this group of applicants is the most free in choosing a university) and 2) the shares enrolled in paid places (since this group of applicants chooses where to invest their own funds).

The direction “ International relations“: the share of “Olympiads” in it reaches 13% (and this is the largest share among all areas), and those enrolled in paid places make up three quarters of the entire enrollment.

In general, in terms of the share of paid admission, social and humanitarian areas of training are noticeably ahead of technical ones.

Training structure and paid admission

We can distinguish five groups of directions according to the ratio of paid and budget admission of students.

First group, the most numerous (28 directions out of 66) - paid admission is insignificant, less than 10% of the budget. This group also includes six out of ten areas that have the highest budget acceptance: “ agriculture", "transport", "energy", "mathematics", "electronics" and "ecology". The fact that there are practically no paying students in these areas reflects, first of all, the traditional “overproduction” of personnel in budget-funded places.

Second group— there is a paid reception, but it is small: from 10 to 35% of the budget. There are 11 such areas out of 66, the largest being “pedagogy” and “construction”. As a rule, applicants to these areas view their prospects for future employment as good, but do not expect a quick career.

Third group— paid admission from 36 to 80% of the budget, approximately corresponds to the share of paid admission in the higher education system as a whole. This, one might say, is the optimal combination: paying students bring significant additional income to the university, while the university is not very dependent on them and can, accordingly, pursue a fairly principled quality control policy. This group includes 13 areas, the largest being “healthcare”, where there were 17 thousand paid students for 25 thousand budget first-year students. Applicants enrolled in educational programs in these areas have expressed career expectations and are set on fairly high incomes in the future.

Fourth group— paid admission ranges from 81 to 150% of the budget. Paid enrollment for universities in this group is almost as important as budget enrollment, but the latter still remains a “supporting link” in the economy of the university and its formation personnel policy(the vast majority of teachers are on budgetary salaries and only receive additional payments through paid recruitment). There are only five such areas: “design”, “business informatics” and “service sector”, as well as a small set of “publishing” and “art theory”.

Finally, fifth group includes nine directions, the paid admission for which is more than twice (and often three or four times) higher than the budget one. Here, as a rule, the economy is completely different: some teachers are hired on “extra-budgetary” rates, and paid students determine the quality of the audience. The university is forced to focus specifically on paying students in its quality policy. Among the largest areas of this group are “economics”, “law”, “management”, “linguistics and foreign languages”, “state and municipal management”, “advertising” and “international relations”.

Advertising and Public Relations	0,9 / 0,7	3,3 / 3,3	378%
International relations	0,9 / 1,0	3,2 / 2,9	348%

You can see that the list of the largest budget areas and the list of the largest paid areas intersect only in two cases: “health care” and “pedagogy”. This is the result of the fact that over the past few years the Ministry of Education and Science has reduced budget admissions by 1.5-2 times for the three most popular paid groups - “economics”, “law” and “management”. The reduction reflects, among other things, the policy of ousting the frankly weak educational programs implemented by non-core universities that do not have sufficient human resources. This policy began with the “cutting” of budget admissions, but also affects paid ones: a number of universities have recently been curtailing relevant programs.

Traditionally, paid admission is carried out primarily in socio-economic and humanitarian areas, as well as medical ones. If in the structure of budget admission they occupy 27%, then in the structure of paid admission they account for about 87%. Natural sciences(directions of classical universities) occupy about 14% of the budget admission, while in the paid admission their share is slightly more than 2%. Per share technical sciences and technologies account for over 40% of the budget set and only 10% of the paid set. This structure is generally reproduced throughout the entire observation period (2011-2015) with variations within 3-5%. See table. 10.

Comparison of the quality of budget and paid reception - 2015

Traditionally, paid education is chosen by weaker students, and here the threshold is set - or not set - by the universities themselves.

More than half of the “C” students (average Unified State Examination score below 56) received paid tuition in 150 universities out of 412 included in the ranking (36%). This is a significant improvement on the situation - last year there were 198, almost half (48%).

Table 13. Distribution of universities by quality of budget and paid admission

The majority of students pay their own way full-time education, - these are no longer “C” students. These are the “good guys”. What is the reason for this shift? Two assumptions can be made. First, the students of 2015 generally passed the Unified State Exam somewhat better. Secondly, polarization has occurred both between universities and within groups of areas. Students are ready to enroll in popular universities even on a paid basis, while outsiders are left with the weakest applicants, including those on a budget basis.

The charts below compare the quality of a budget set with the quality of a paid set. The Y-axis is the average score of the paid set, and the X-axis is the average score of the budget set. The color of the “peas” reflects the quality of the paid admission: green - average score above 70, white - average score below 70 and above 56, red - average score below 56. In classical universities, universities with “excellent” budget admission (average score above 70) paid places most often recruit “good” applicants (average score 56-70). In technical universities, where in the group as a whole there are more “good” students, up to half of the paid enrollment are “C” students (the average score is below 56), however, it is clear that “C” students are, as a rule, universities with a small enrollment.

Applicants and their families have become better able to discern the quality of educational programs and their contribution (as well as the contribution of the university brand) to human capital students. In 2015, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation for the first time published data on average earnings and professional employment university graduates. If previously the information that graduates of top universities earn on average 1.5 times more than graduates of other universities in the same field was discussed at the level of individual cases, opinions and rumors (forming, however, public opinion), then this trend can now be considered proven.

There is a change in the structure of the state task - expansion of engineering areas, further reduction of socio-economic ones (due to economics and business informatics). It is assumed that the population has sufficient effective demand for programs in socio-economic and humanitarian areas, which makes it possible to do without increasing budget support.

Many universities that did not receive government assignments for the implementation of popular educational programs (economics, management, etc.) continued to admit applicants for them entirely on an extra-budgetary basis. This required personnel and information support programs, which universities have significantly weakened in this situation. The result is obvious: paid enrollment in these universities is declining, in other cases dropping to a level that is critical for the further continuation of such programs.

The risk zone here is for universities that enroll less than 30 students in paid programs that are not supported by budgetary enrollment in the relevant field. After all, firstly, a paid student, as a rule, is less prepared than one who entered a budget place, and therefore runs a greater risk of being among the unsuccessful ones. Secondly, such a student may stop studying not only due to poor academic performance, but also for financial reasons. Already in the third year, less than half of the initially enrolled paid students may remain, and the funds received from them will not be enough even to pay the necessary teachers.

2015 may become a milestone year for approximately 60% of currently operating purely extra-budgetary programs in the areas of economics, management, jurisprudence and other socio-economic and humanitarian areas: in 2016, these programs may stop new enrollment (in 2015 they recruited less than 30 people).

Dynamics of reception quality, 2011-2015

The most high quality The budget enrollment remains stable in medical and socio-economic universities, and in the latter, during the period from 2011 to 2015, the “green zone” (average score above 70) has noticeably expanded. Agricultural universities remain mainly in the “red zone” (the average Unified State Examination score for the university is below 56). Among the classical universities and technical universities The proportions of universities with “excellent”, “good” and “C” students are approximately the same and remain unchanged. The quality of budget-funded admissions at pedagogical universities has noticeably improved.
The paid set generally maintains the same proportions, although with a certain shift towards lower scores.

Pricing strategies of universities in an economic downturn

Among universities offering paid programs in 2015, 47% increased prices compared to 2014, 36% kept them unchanged in nominal terms, 17% considered it necessary to reduce prices (we considered changes of more than 5 thousand rubles as significant). year). At the same time, 14 universities increased the average tuition fee for universities by 50-100 thousand rubles per year; 39 universities - 20-50 thousand rubles per year; 124 universities - 5-20 thousand rubles per year; 137 universities did not change the cost at all or changed it slightly (within 5 thousand rubles), 58 universities reduced the cost of education by 5-20 thousand rubles, and 8 universities - by 20-50 thousand rubles.

At the same time, behavior patterns—the distribution of universities into groups that increase and decrease prices—vary by area. preparation: in relation to socio-economic and humanitarian programs, on the one hand, and technical programs, on the other, universities more often adhere to different strategies. Among technical areas The share of programs that reduced the cost of training in 2015 is noticeably higher. Among socio-economic programs, the share of those that increased the cost of training relatively slightly (5-20 thousand rubles) prevails.

Thus, in the field of economics, 305 universities provided paid admission in 2015, of which 30 universities increased the cost by more than 20 thousand rubles per year, 95 universities - by 5-20 thousand rubles, and 18 universities reduced the cost by 5-20 thousand. 60 thousand rubles. In the field of “law,” 181 universities offered paid admission in 2015, of which 26 universities increased the cost by more than 20 thousand rubles per year, 63 universities — by 5-20 thousand rubles, and 6 universities reduced the cost by 5-60 thousand . rubles. At the same time, in the field of “informatics and computer engineering” more than a third of universities reduced prices by more than 5 thousand rubles, and in the field of “energy and power engineering” almost half of such universities.

Table 14. Changes in tuition fees by field of study, 2014-2015.


What are the differences in the pricing policies of capital and regional universities? Price range amongexpensive educational programs significantlyhigher than among moderately priced programs. At the same time, the proportions of expensive and inexpensive programs by different directions preparations are approximately the same. Three strategies can be distinguished pricing policy universities: uniform cost for all educational programs (demand is determined by the quality of the program and the reputation of the university); price differentiation of programs; segmenting programs into popular and unpopular.

Strong universities, as expected, set high minimum scores. In the “ten” strongest universities in terms of the quality of budget admissions, the average minimum score is 61.3 points (per subject for all universities) - versus 34.2 according to the Rosobrnadzor thresholds. The highest scores among the leading universities were achieved by MIPT, MEPhI, National Research University Higher School of Economics, and St. Petersburg Academic University - Scientific and Educational Center for Nanotechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The lowest are MGIMO and Moscow State University. Lomonosov (however, this did not in any way affect the high quality of admission to these universities). But among the 74 universities from the “red” zone (the average Unified State Exam score of those enrolled in budget-funded places is below 56), not a single one has set a minimum threshold higher than the level proposed by Rosobrnadzor.

Only 15% of universities use minimum scores as a real tool for selecting applicants.

MOSCOW, July 1, 2018 – website, Valentin Fedorov. Russian graduates high school waiting for the last ones Unified State Exam results main wave. On July 4-5, the results of the unified state exams in the remaining subjects will be received, and applicants will begin to study at the country's universities. Of course, the majority hopes to enroll in budget places, and their number is of the greatest interest. How many budget places were provided to universities in 2018, will a change in the number of places on a budget increase the chances of admission - information portal site information.

The number of budget places in universities in 2018 will increase

This can be said unequivocally. The Ministry of Education and Science (while this department was still called that) confirmed in the spring that the number of budget places this year will increase.

Regarding general figures across the country, different figures were announced at the end of February and beginning of April, which do not quite agree with each other.

Thus, on February 26, the publication “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” stated that for the 2018-2019 academic year funding has been allocated for the following number of budget places in universities:

• 315 thousand – bachelor’s degree (versus 298 thousand last year),
• 75 thousand – specialty (versus 70 thousand a year earlier),
• 208 thousand – master’s degree (versus 205 thousand in 2017).

In total, this is 598 thousand educational places financed from the country's budget. However, on April 11, the RIA Novosti publication, with reference to a report from the Government of the Russian Federation, cited slightly different figures. RIA about 514 thousand budget places in universities in 2018 and their growth compared to last year by 9 thousand.

The number of budget places this year is definitely higher than last year. This can also be judged by the huge number of messages from different cities of the country. Reports are coming from almost everywhere that the number of budget places in universities this year has increased compared to last year.

However, the increase in the number of publicly funded places in the highest educational institutions– there is no reason to rejoice and think that enrolling in a university in 2018 is easier than in 2017. The fact is that the number of 11th grade graduates in Russia this year is noticeably higher.

How will the chances of entering a university change with the increase in the number of budget places in 2018?

An increase in the number of budget places in the country’s higher educational institutions is nothing more than the government’s reaction to the growing number of school graduates. The generation of eleventh graders in 2017 was one of the smallest in recent years. Already in 2018, the number of graduates begins to grow, so the number of budget places in educational institutions should also systematically increase.

On the official Unified State Exam portal you can find the following statistics. In 2017, about 703 thousand people took the Unified State Exam, of which 617 thousand were school graduates. In 2018, 731 thousand people already took part in the Unified State Examination, of which 645 thousand were graduates of the current year.

Thus, the number of test takers remained unchanged Unified State Exam graduates last years – 86 thousand. The overall increase in the number of people taking the Unified State Exam in 2018 is explained only by the increase in the number of graduates. There were 28 thousand more people compared to last year.

We noted above the inconsistency of official data on the number of budget places in Russian universities in 2018. Let’s take the February data as a guide.” Russian newspaper”, since they do not indicate the total number of such places in universities, but contain a breakdown into bachelor’s, specialist’s and master’s degrees. School graduates enroll in bachelor's and specialty programs, so we are interested in this data.

In 2017, for 703 thousand applicants to universities, there were 368 thousand budget places. Approximately 52.3% of applicants thus enrolled in “free” education. In 2018, there were 390 thousand budget places for 731 thousand applicants. Thus, such places will go to 53.4% ​​of applicants.

In fact, in 2018 the chances of admission remain the same as in the past. It also makes sense for applicants to rely on the previous year as a guideline for admission.

This year it will be easier for school graduates to enter universities.

For future first-year students, the number of budget places in bachelor's and specialty programs has been increased. If in this academic year(2017-2018) universities received 298 thousand places for bachelors and 70 for specialists, then in 2018-2019 bachelor's degrees will receive 315 thousand places, and specialists - 75 thousand. 208 thousand budget places were allocated to master's programs, which is 3 thousand more than a year earlier.

The largest number of free places on the budget will be received by pedagogical faculties and pedagogical universities, IT areas, agricultural and medical universities. Which specialties will have the fewest budget places? "Nursing", "Weapons and Weapon Systems", "Art Studies", "Theology", "Performing Arts and Literary Creativity".

The Ministry continues to support engineering, paying special attention to IT technologies, mining, production of aviation and rocket and space technology, light industry, nanotechnology and management of technical systems, emphasized Minister of Education and Science Olga Vasilyeva at the investment forum in Sochi.

According to her, 45 thousand people will be accepted into teacher education programs this year.

Peculiarity recent years- interest in agricultural and veterinary specialties. Rector of the Moscow state academy veterinary medicine and biotechnology named after. Skryabin Fedor Vasilevich told RG that school graduates are especially attracted to new areas related to genetics, genomics, and biotechnology.

At the Faculty of Zootechnology and Agribusiness appeared new specialty- nutriogenomics, where the molecular mechanisms of the effect of food on changes in animal genes are studied. The academy has created a laboratory of molecular genetics and genomics of birds, which meets European standards, explained the rector.

A new direction in “commodity research of veterinary and biological drugs” has appeared in the bachelor’s degree, and a module “furriery” is offered. Academy graduates receive knowledge that allows them to work in the field of genetic engineering, creating transgenic organisms with new properties, and monitoring changes in heredity in animals. These are the areas in demand today. As well as research into the creation of immunobiological drugs - vaccines and serums common to humans and animals.

In one of large companies for the sale of fertilizers, pesticides and seeds clarified that they need general agronomists, specialists in the maintenance and repair of equipment, including robots. Salary is discussed with each individual individually. Livestock specialists needed. They are offered 25-30 thousand rubles a month. There are offers, for example, in the Smolensk region, for 70 thousand rubles plus office housing. At the large Bryansk meat processing enterprise, veterinary paramedics and doctors, animal engineers, and feed preparation section engineers are very welcome.
