Alexey Sozinov is still ahead of Ilshat Gafurov, the Ministry of Education is purging lawyers and philologists, and the former IEUP has broken into the top three
The reduction of “humanitarian” budget places did not affect the mindset of yesterday’s schoolchildren: they continue to storm the philological and law faculties. There were 300 fewer graduates in the Republic of Tatarstan than there were free places in institutes. The local Ministry of Education assures that only a few hundred will go abroad to study, and that they will be replaced by applicants from other regions and countries. Where free enrollment will be reduced in 2017 and where applicants are welcomed with open arms - in the BUSINESS Online review.

“THREE BOGATYRS” - KSMU, KFU, KGASU
On June 20, the admissions campaign to all Russian universities started. An interesting detail: according to the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan, 15,479 graduates graduated from the republic’s schools, while 15,806 budget places in institutes were allocated to Tatarstan. It turns out that the republican alma mater does not have enough local applicants to fill even the free quota. Moreover, some graduates either will not enroll or will go to study in Moscow, St. Petersburg, or even abroad.
However, the First Deputy Minister of Education of the Republic of Tatarstan Andrey Pominov assures that few people leave the republic in pursuit of knowledge. “Based on the results of the admissions campaign, we request information from municipalities and receive more or less clear statistics from municipalities, which, based on school surveys, understand how many of their graduates have left somewhere. We cannot obtain such statistics from foreign and federal universities, but we roughly imagine that only a few hundred people are leaving. There is a problem of how to keep our guys who have the highest results in various Olympiads, in the Unified State Exam and who enter leading Moscow or St. Petersburg universities. We use and apply various measures in this direction,” he told a BUSINESS Online correspondent.
At the same time, as Pominov assures, there is a reverse migration of applicants: they will come to study in Tatarstan from other regions and countries. “The general flow goes to the republic. I can say that we have several thousand applicants from abroad ( in 2016— approx. ed.). There are a huge number of applicants from other regions of the Russian Federation,” the official said.

Where exactly do former schoolchildren want to go? To understand the trends in the current admissions campaign, BUSINESS Online analyzed last year’s data, since the 2017 passing scores and competition will not be known until August. Let’s say right away: the statistics we collected include only indicators of the largest universities in the republic, and there is no information about those universities that were not included in our previous analytical reviews (for example, because they ignored BUSINESS Online requests).
| University | Average Unified State Exam score (2016) | Average Unified State Exam score (2015) | Average competition for a place (2016) | Average competition for a place (2015) |

*data provided by universities of the Republic of Tatarstan
Let us add that in the institute environment there are opposing points of view regarding the extent to which such ratings correspond to reality. It’s not very correct to compare average passing scores and the competition, he believes David Kordonchik, Vice-Rector of the Kazan University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (KGASU). From his point of view, since an applicant has the right to apply to five different universities in three areas, many applications for admission turn out to be dummies and only add to the excitement around the university. Rector of Kazan State Medical University (KSMU) Alexey Sozinov believes otherwise: competition and passing grades are integral components in assessing the quality of education: “These factors, of course, characterize both the level of the university and the specialties in demand. Naturally, they are far from the only ones and they cannot be fetishized, but nevertheless these are important factors.”
The results of last year’s campaign demonstrate that the leaders of the Top 10 largest educational institutions in terms of average passing grades and the number of applicants per place maintain their positions. The most “high-quality” school graduates - that is, those who scored the highest scores on the Unified State Exam, as in 2015 - continue to choose KSMU, and the greatest competition remains in KSASU. The Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (KFU) breathes behind the Kazan honey in terms of the quality of applicants. At the same time, Kazan Innovation University (KIU, former IUEP) unexpectedly made it into the Top 3 of the competition.

MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND DENTISTRY ARE IN DEMAND AT KSMU
So, KSMU remains first in terms of the level of applicants, although its average score has decreased by six points, and the competition by two. Could some of the “quality” students migrate to the KFU Institute of Fundamental Medicine, which opened two years ago? After all, the feuds between the two leading universities of the republic have continued since the moment when the rector of KFU Ilshat Gafurov announced the creation of a medical cluster at the university.
Sozinov is sure that it is premature to talk about any changes in applicants entering Kazan honey, and the passing scores and competition fluctuate around the average long-term data. “A little more, a little less - these changes can be significant in small faculties, for example, social work, which has 10 budget places. Of course, there will be variation. And at the medical faculty, fluctuations are only within 2 - 3 percent. It turned out a little less, I agree. But if this is a trend, it will be visible in this year’s admissions campaign,” the rector of KSMU is convinced. “We are in the same segment, and it is clear that there are changes that are associated with the presence of the closest competitor.”
Nevertheless, the total number of Unified State Examination points in the three main school subjects at KSMU still exceeds the KFU indicators. Thus, the highest passing score of an applicant in medical school was 275 in the field of general medicine, while at KFU this figure is 246 points for the same profile. “We have good graduates. There may be fewer of them, but KSMU is among the Top 25 universities in Russia in terms of the quality of applicants,” Sozinov noted. — It makes no sense to talk about the time when there was no Unified State Exam and there was a different system for taking university exams. The volume of tasks related to the demonstration by school graduates of competencies that go beyond the limits of factual knowledge is increasing. And it seems to me that this should be taken for granted and the technological nature of the Unified State Exam should be realized.”

The highest competition at KSMU, as before, remained in the direction of “medical biochemistry” (28.8 people per place) and “dentistry” (15.8), the least popular direction was “social work” (3), despite the fact that The highest passing score is in the field of general medicine.

LEGAL DISCIPLINES AT KFU LOST 31 BUDGET PLACES
KFU is not far behind its main rival. And this is understandable: the number of budget places at the university’s undergraduate level is decreasing, and the cost of training is growing every year. In 2016, the average tuition price at Volga University increased by 6.3%. And this year, as the first vice-rector of KFU said Riyaz Minzaripov, applicants will have to pay at least 102 thousand rubles when studying in the humanities. Something to think about!
| Direction | passing score |
|---|---|
| Teacher education (English and second foreign language) | 279 |
| Oriental and African studies (languages and literatures of Asian and African countries; economics of Asian and African countries; history of Asian and African countries) | 267 |
| Advertising and Public Relations | 263 |
| Software engineering (information systems development technologies) | 260 |
| Teacher Education (French) | 259 |
| Pedagogical education (Russian language and English language) | 259 |
| Jurisprudence | 254 |
| Economy | 252 |
| Philology (foreign philology: English language and literature, translation studies; Spanish language and literature, translation studies) | 251 |
| Medicine | 246 |
| Business Informatics | 246 |

At the same time, the university predicts an increase in the competition and the passing score - the executive secretary of the KFU admissions committee told BUSINESS Online about this Oleg Bodrov. This is a paradoxical statement at first glance, but there is a material basis behind it. “In a number of specialties, there has been a reduction in the number of budget places. This is a unique element of quality selection. As you understand, this will lead to an increase in the USE passing scores of applicants,” notes Bodrov. However, despite its high reputation among applicants, KFU does not disdain PR and continues to conduct active career guidance, our interlocutor said. For this purpose, KFU specialists traveled to cities and districts of the republic, regions of Russia and the CIS countries, actively participating in exhibitions and advertising campaigns.
“The most popular areas are traditionally medicine, economics, international relations, especially their linguistic direction. The Faculty of Law, as well as the Institute of Geology and Oil and Gas Technologies, is in great demand,” Bodrov emphasized. However, there is no sensation in this. From year to year, the announced directions are popular among applicants with high scores, while the admission control figures (ATC) are reduced where the number of budget places is small. For example, the direction of “Oriental and African studies” will be able to accept 13 people for free this year, “advertising and public relations” - 6 applicants, pedagogical education in the profile “French language” received 9 places. The greatest blow to KFU came from philology, which lost 23 budget positions in 2017, retaining only 7, and jurisprudence, where 31 budget positions were sequestered with 29 remaining.
| Direction | Passing score |
|---|---|
| Hydrometeorology (meteorology) | 180 |
| Teacher Education (Chemistry) | 180 |
| Information security (mathematical and software tools for information protection) | 180 |
| Technical Physics | 180 |
| Quality control | 180 |
| Quality management (managing robotic production systems) | 180 |
| Environmental management and water use | 182 |
| Soil science (soil quality management and biotechnology) | 182 |
| Geology (geology and geochemistry of fossil fuels) | 190 |
| Geology (geology) | 191 |
| Mathematics (general profile) | 191 |
| Cartography and geoinformatics (geographic information technologies in economics and management) | 192 |
| Geology (geophysics) | 192 |

But there will not be fewer state employees in the most unpopular areas among KFU applicants, and, for example, the slow-moving “cartography and geoinformatics” received an additional 5 free places, making the total number 25.
“NO NEED TO RECRUIT PEOPLE WITH LOW SCORE, NO NEED TO “VACUUM CLEAN” EVERYONE”
Judging by the competition of 27 people per place, the Kazan State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (KGASU) remains the most popular higher education institution in Tatarstan. Most likely, he will retain his leadership this summer. “In 2017, we expect an increase in competition and average scores due to a reduction in the number of budget places, mainly in the areas of bachelor’s training in the specialties “construction” and “architecture,” say the university’s admissions committee. This year, the alma mater of future architects has greatly reduced the number of budget places - to 613, which is 136 less than last year’s quota. Now the university plans to recruit students through extra-budgetary recruitment. “Applicants understand that by studying at KSASU, they will receive professions that are actually in demand and will be guaranteed employment. Therefore, we believe that the number of people wishing to enroll will not be lower than last year,” the university hopes.
Traditionally, the most popular areas here are “architecture,” “design,” “construction,” “construction of unique buildings and structures,” and “management,” which will be significantly reduced this year. The least popular specialties are “technology of transport processes”, “ground transport and technological complexes”, “technosphere safety”, “design of the architectural environment” and “urban planning”.
The average score of those entering KSASU in 2016 decreased slightly, but the university does not consider it the main indicator, but only the average temperature in the hospital. “You should always want the best. But what schools give us is what we work with. You need to be able to adapt, says the rector of KSASU Rashit Nizamov. — The Unified State Exam still objectively reflects reality and the level of preparation. There’s just no need to recruit people with low Unified State Exam scores, no need to “vacuum clean” everyone.”

THE STATE LEAVES 44 SPOTS IN KNITU-KAI FOR FUTURE TUPOLEVS
Kazan National Research Technical University named after. Tupolev (KNRTU-KAI), according to the average passing score, as a year earlier, was in fourth place. In 2016, it was 71, which is 2.4 points better than the results of the previous year. “This allowed KNRTU-KAI to take 134th place in the ranking of universities with a CCP of more than 300, compared to 151 place in 2015,” noted the executive secretary of the KAI admissions committee Roman Moiseev. According to him, as a rule, the average Unified State Exam score among schoolchildren is growing from year to year, so the university expects the indicator to increase. “Interest in engineering specialties and areas of training continues to grow. This year we expect an increase in the number of applicants compared to 2016,” he added.

The areas with the greatest competition are “aircraft engines”, “standardization and metrology”, “thermal power engineering and thermal engineering”, “nanoengineering”, “mechanical engineering”. “We expect this trend to continue in 2017,” Moiseev hopes. At the same time, he says, demand for specialties usually develops in a sinusoidal manner, that is, interest in areas of training for which there was relatively low competition in the previous year often increases in the next year. “This is due to the fact that the guys want to play it safe and increase their chances of admission,” explained the executive secretary.

Judging by the dynamics of budget places, KAI has no reasons for the increase in competition. Of the most popular areas, “software engineering” was reduced by 5 places (to 25) and, surprisingly, specialized “aircraft engineering” was reduced by 7 places, where 44 places remained. It seems that today the country does not really need new Tupolevs.

ATHLETES GO TO DISTANCE LEARNING
The fifth-sixth positions in terms of the quality of applicants are shared by the Kazan State Institute of Culture (KazGIK) and the Volga Region State Academy of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism (PGAFKSiT). But if the first has a very high competition, 9 people per place, then the second makes efforts to scrape together two for one “vacancy”.
However, the Volga Region Academy of Sports plans that the flow of applicants this year will increase significantly, especially since the university’s admission centers have increased to 618. According to the rector of the academy Yusupa Yakubov, 90% of the university’s students are trained at the expense of the state budget, and now 2,450 students are absorbing knowledge and skills within its walls. As the State Academy of Physical Culture and Culture suggests, by 2020 4 thousand students will study here. According to these plans, the number of budget places is increasing from year to year - there are 23 more compared to last year, and in 2018 the academy plans to increase the team of state employees to 778 - 10% more than this year. Against the backdrop of so many free places, such low competition becomes a completely understandable phenomenon. At the same time, the overall popularity of the 9 directions existing at the university is approximately at the same level.
To attract as many students as possible, PGAFKSiT is actively developing distance learning programs. After all, professional athletes spend most of their time at training camps and competitions, and it happens that in the morning a student listens to a lecture remotely or takes an exam, and in the evening he goes to the start line. At the same time, the demand from professionals is the same as from other students. “We cannot turn a blind eye to a student’s poor performance, even if he is an athlete,” says Yakubov. “We have requirements from the Ministry of Sports that if a student shows poor academic performance throughout the year, then I, as the rector, must sign an expulsion order.”
The most popular destinations in KazGIK, according to its rector Rivkata Yusupova, are “film and television directing”, “design”, “acting” and “tourism”. Well, the fashion for these professions has not gone away for several decades. The least popular fields in the cultural student community are “musical and instrumental art,” “library and information activities,” and “sound engineering of audiovisual arts.” The university did not predict how the passing scores would change this year, but noted that potential migrants to the capital’s VGIK or Moscow Art Theater are attracted by such new areas as “painting,” “monumental and decorative art,” and “animation and computer graphics director.”
“WE EVEN HAD NOBODY TO EXPIRE AFTER THE FIRST SESSION LAST YEAR”
At the Kazan State Energy University, according to the results of last year, the competition for budget places increased almost fourfold, and with it the average Unified State Examination score increased by 2.5 points. This trend at the university is explained by an increase in career guidance events. “I must say, this work is bearing fruit - every year we note an increase in the average passing score by an average of one point,” noted the university press service. In three fundamental subjects (Russian language, mathematics and physics), the average score in Russia grows every year by an average of 10%, the energy university emphasizes, and at KSPEU the “quality” of graduates is growing more intensively than the national average. “We didn’t even have anyone to expel after the first session last year,” boasts the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of KSUE Alexander Leontyev.
“We do not have budget-funded humanities areas, but all technical areas are in great demand,” the university emphasizes. — The first priority is “electric power,” followed by “thermal power.” Typically, 1,500 people apply for more than 300 electricity jobs. In 2016, the direction “applied computer science” appeared and immediately became one of the leaders. A distinctive feature of training students in this area is that with us they gain knowledge in the field of electric power, and after graduation they do not need to explain the basics of the specifics of the activities of an energy enterprise.” According to our interlocutors, the greatest competition in 2016 was observed in such areas of training at KSPEU as “automation of technological processes and production”, “electric power and electrical engineering”, “applied computer science” and “applied mathematics”.
“Kazan Energy University is interested in smart guys staying in Tatarstan,” says the head of the KGEU press center Nikolai von Essen. “That’s why we increase scholarships for students for participating in olympiads or for a high number of points received on the Unified State Exam.” In the first semester, this scholarship can reach 15 thousand rubles, in the next - about 10 thousand rubles.

“CORRUPTION WAS FOUND AND DAMAGED. LIFE AT THE UNIVERSITY IS PUT ON NORMAL RAILS"
Another technical university, KNRTU-KKhTI, somehow got lost in the general mass of commercial and state universities. If the average competition here is approximately at the level of KAI, then the Unified State Examination indicator increased by only 0.4 and stopped at 62.5 points. Perhaps this is due to the large reputational losses of the university against the backdrop of corruption scandals associated with the previous leadership. We would like to remind you that shortly after the guilty verdict, the ex-vice rector of Kazakh Chemical Technology Institute Ildar Abdullin dashed off a good dozen statements describing the technical university as a real whirlpool of corruption and exposing the ex-rector German Dyakonov, a number of vice-rectors, professors and heads of departments. According to the former vice-rector, the university management allegedly gave kickbacks to Gazprom, federal ministries and even stole student scholarships.
The new rector will have to work to restore the reputation of one of the leading technical universities in Kazan. “When another top person comes, of course, something changes,” said the rector of KKhTI Sergey Yushko BUSINESS Online correspondent. — Probably, in all universities there are some manifestations. But now such close attention is paid to our university that, of course, there is no corruption and there never will be. But this should not be a one-time event; there must be constant monitoring. Everything has already been found and neutralized. Life at the university is set on normal lines. You can calmly study and gain knowledge.”

This year the university plans to actively compete for applicants with the highest grades on the Unified State Exam. “The quality of applicants is growing every year. Those who are now entering their first year are better prepared than students of previous years. Of course, there are certain difficulties, but the technological university will fight for 100-point students,” the new rector assured.
This year, applicants will continue to fight for budget places in the areas of “oil and gas engineering” and “chemical technology” - this is where the university has the highest passing score. The competition among future oil workers, for example, last summer amounted to 17 people per place: there were more only in the areas of “thermal power engineering and heating engineering” and “electric power engineering and electrical engineering” - 47 and 55 applications per place, respectively. And the lowest “turnout” occurred in 2016 for “design of light industrial products” and “food products of animal origin.” “But for them, for one budget place, 2.5 and 3 applications were submitted, respectively, which, in my opinion, is a very good indicator,” says the executive secretary of the admission committee of KNRTU-KKhTI Marat Valeev. In general, the average competition for the university exceeded 10 people per place. Let's hope that this year, after the change of rector, this figure will increase even more.

PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT LAGING AWAY
Meanwhile, the two main commercial universities of the republic - Kazan Innovation University named after. Timiryasova (KIU) and the TISBI University of Management, which also have several budget places in their arsenal, received decent results in the ranking of educational institutions of Tatarstan at the end of 2016. The average USE score of a TISBI applicant increased by 7 points, although the competition decreased by 12 people. This year, taking into account the increased number of budget places (+11 this year), the university’s admissions committee expects an even greater influx of applicants. “Judging by the number of calls already received by the admissions committee of our university, the number of applications this year will be no less than last,” they say in the KIU press service. In terms of average competition for a budget place, a commercial university can already compete with KSASU - 19 people per place, although the average score still remains at the same level.
Traditionally, the largest number of people wishing to study came to the fields of economics, law, and management, they say in many universities. “We noticed that in the last two years the interest of applicants in the areas of tourism and linguistics has increased significantly. This is primarily the result of attracting native speakers of foreign languages to the teaching of language disciplines. It is obvious that in 2017 the competition among applicants for these areas will be quite serious,” noted the Kazan Innovation University. Timiryasova.
As before, two universities that are very important for the economy - Kazan State Agrarian University (KSAU) and Kazan Academy of Veterinary Medicine (KSAVM) - cannot boast of achievements. Rector of KSAU Jaudat Faizrakhmanov reported that the average score of its applicants did not change last year and amounted to 60.3. The head of KSAU noted that the university’s classrooms are filled mainly by yesterday’s schoolchildren from rural areas, so the university does not plan to increase tuition prices this year. At KSAVM, the applicant's passing score increased from 50.6 to 60.6, but the competition did not increase - four people per place.
In conclusion, we would like to remind you that many of the university employees surveyed by BUSINESS Online noted once again the increased training of school graduates. Everything suggests that the trend of recent years will continue, which means that passing scores and competition among applicants will increase. Let’s hope that at the same time the quality of training of university graduates will improve.
For admission to the ranks of students in the KFU specialty, passing scores are the main criterion. Upon reaching the threshold level and indicators above, based on the Unified State Examination results, the applicant is enrolled in a budget-funded place. If a school graduate does not reach the established number of points for the budget and submitted documents late, he has the opportunity to become a student of Kazan University, but on a paid basis.
What are the passing scores at KFU in 2017/18? We will talk about this in the article.
Briefly about the founding of Kazan Federal University (KFU)
Federal University in Kazan is one of the oldest higher educational institutions in Russia. Its foundation dates back to 1804, when Russian Emperor Alexander I approved the Charter of the Kazan Imperial University with his signature.
In the 20th century, as the university's educational programs expanded, so did its buildings. Thus, the Faculty of Geology occupied the entire building of the theological seminary that was once located there. In the 50s, the building of the Faculty of Chemistry was built, which was located on Astronomicheskaya Street opposite Geology.
Over the course of 10 years, 1960-70, two educational and laboratory buildings were built on the northern and western sides of the main educational building. In the late 80s, construction began on the UNICS sports complex.
In 2003, before the 200th anniversary of KFU, construction of the eastern wing began, which lasted 1 year. After this, the university acquired its completed appearance, which fully corresponded to the architectural design of the engineer Müfke (early 20th century).
KFU has a huge selection of specialties, which can be trained at the faculties and institutes of the Kazan educational institution. But for admission you need to score a passing grade. At KFU, each faculty has its own starting point level.
Faculty of Law
A law degree from KFU is in great demand in Russian and foreign jurisprudence. Training at the faculty provides the following:
- Professional teaching staff.
- Thanks to cooperation with foreign universities, both students and teachers have the opportunity to undergo internships in their specialty, take part in conferences and forums abroad.
- An exchange program with Russian and foreign educational institutions is provided.
- A broad theoretical course supported by practical exercises.
- Classrooms are equipped with the latest educational technologies.
Education at the faculty offers two directions: bachelor's and master's degrees.
Bachelor's degree- this is 4 years for full-time study and 5 years for part-time students. It is possible to enroll both on a budget basis, after achieving a passing score at KFU, and in a paid department.
In addition to enrolling students with secondary general education, we also accept students with vocational education (secondary or higher). The form of study is part-time, the training period lasts 3 years.
The passing score for the Faculty of Law of KFU for the qualification “Bachelor” for 2017 was 259, when passing exams in Russian language, history and social studies.
It is possible to submit documents to the Faculty of Law to undergo master's studies, which will take the following duration: 2 years for the full-time course and 2.5 for the part-time course.
