In Crimea, special conditions for admission to universities have been introduced for children of SVO participants and residents of new regions
This year, children of participants in a special military operation will enter universities in a special order and according to a quota for budget places. For applicants from new regions - Zaporozhye, Kherson regions and the Donbass republics - the admission procedure has also changed.
Alexey Gusev, the executive secretary of the admissions committee at Vernadsky Kazan Federal University, announced this on Radio Crimea, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“This introductory campaign has special features for children from new regions and from families where fathers are fulfilling their duty in a special military operation.
This year, a separate preferential category for children of SVO participants has been established. Such children are allocated to a separate group, separate competitions are held for them, and a separate quota is determined. Students can apply on the basis of Unified State Examination results without internal university exams.
Children of deceased servicemen are enrolled without exams, that is, essentially, without competition. This right is reserved for them.
As for children from new regions, admission requirements have been set for them this year. Previously, children were admitted within the quota established by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. This year they are admitted under general conditions, but taking into account the peculiarities of the school curriculum, and they could not, as expected, study the Russian language, Russian history, literature, social studies. Those who graduate from school in 2021-2023 are given the right to take exams at the university, and undergo an interview on the above subjects.
Also, it is not mandatory for them to pass the Unified State Exam. That is, the Unified State Exam is a right, but not an obligation for admission.”
All admission rules, according to Gusev, are posted on the website of any university, including the Crimean Federal University. Among other things, this year the procedure for submitting an application for admission to a university has been changed.
“If previously each applicant could apply to five universities and in each could choose from two to ten specialties, now the number of specialties is limited to five, and all of them must be indicated in the application in order of priority,” the KFU teacher emphasized. – By and large, this system is more convenient for professionally oriented applicants who understand exactly where they want to go, and do not act on the principle just to get in.
We will be able to assess the degree of convenience of the new system only after going through all the stages of the admissions campaign, but we, as a university, are interested in applicants who enroll where they want, and not where they will take them.”
