Individual achievements when entering a university for many applicants become a chance for free education. Today we will analyze the basic rules according to which higher education institutions accept freshmen. So, let's look at this issue in more detail.
How to validate your achievements
There is a certain procedure for taking into account the individual achievements of applicants, according to which all universities and institutions of our country work. Applicants can count on additional points if they provide documentary evidence in the form of diplomas, certificates, certificates.
Admission rules provide for the accrual, if other criteria are equal, of additional points to those applicants who have their own achievements. They are summed up with the achievements that were demonstrated by high school students at the unified state exam.
Admission to Bachelor's degree
Individual achievements when entering a university for undergraduate programs are taken into account in the following areas:
- winner statusor the champion of the Olympic Games, the world, Europe in sports disciplines, a certificate of passing the TRP standards, certificates of the established form;
- certificate of completion of secondary general education with honors (gold or silver medal);
- Vocational Honors Diploma;
- volunteer (voluntary) activities;
- diploma of the absolute winner of certain olympiads, creative competitions, conferences, sporting events held by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation;
- grade for the final essay, which is a condition for the admission of a graduate to pass the exam in the program of general secondary education.
Additional points for individual achievements when enrolling in undergraduate programs cannot exceed 10 in total. Domestic academies and universities can independently change individual achievements when entering a university, taking into account the specifics of the educational process.
Olympics and intellectual contests
Depending on the direction, universities and institutes, at their discretion, count individual achievements when entering a university. For example, when applying to ITMO University in St. Petersburg, applicants receive the following achievements:
- for a diploma of the winner or prize-winner of the ITMO University multidisciplinary Olympiad in mathematics, social studies, Russian or a foreign language, physics, chemistry;
- for the diploma of the winner or prize-winner of the international conference “World of Science. Nanotechnology”;
- for winning the school section of the Congress of Young Scientists held by ITMO University;
- for a diploma of a prize-winner or winner of the competition "ITMOgrad", "The Golden Thousand of the World";
- for providing a portfolio of achievements;
- for the certificate of the winner or the winner of the International Marketing Contest “BigGame by Marketoruim. Junior section.”
Accounting for individual achievements when entering universities is regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of 2014. According to the numerous changes that were published in April 2015 by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, any higher educational institution has the legal right to change the procedure for recording the personal achievements of applicants.
Informing about the registration of additional achievements of applicants
Admission rules oblige each secondary and higher education institution to inform applicants in advance of the number of points they can receive for personal achievements. Such information allows high school students to calculate in advance their chances of enrolling in a university (academy) in the chosen field of study.
Number of points awarded
We examined what individual achievements are taken into account in universities when applicants submit documents for enrollment. Now let's dwell on the maximum number of points that applicants can count on.
According to the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the total number of points for individual achievements should not exceed ten points. In addition, up to 10 points can be obtained for the qualitative performance of the final essay in the eleventh grade. Documents confirming individual achievements must be submitted along with the package of documents. Representatives of the admissions committee carefully study all the diplomas and certificates that the applicant brings, sum up the points, enter them into the final protocol.
Documents for verification
This year, graduates of general education institutions had the opportunity to add at least ten points to the results that were demonstrated in the final exams. This significantly increased the chances of children to receive free education in their chosenhigher educational institutions. Many of them tried to seize every opportunity to make their dream come true.
Compared to last year, for creative, intellectual and sports individual achievements, the number of points was reduced from 20 to 10. This step was motivated by representatives of the Ministry of Education by the fact that high school students spend too much of their free time to get additional points forgetting about the full preparation for the unified state exam.
Ways to get extra bonuses
Students in grades 10-11 are trying to use all possible chances to enter the university or academy of their choice after graduation. For example, you can take part in one of the subject Olympiads, the list of which is annually approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. For children who are studying in the eleventh grade, it will be useful and interesting to participate in intellectual and creative competitions, sports days, and physical education events. At the same time, only those victories of the graduate that were achieved in the 11th grade are taken into account. If a teenager has successfully participated in several subject Olympiads at once, the one that is the most "weighty" in terms of level is selected for additional points.
In order for an applicant to have a chance to rise in the ranked list with an equal number of points, a gold or silver medal will help him. For example, for those guys whohave chosen sports educational institutions for their further education, the presence of a gold TRP badge will be a great bonus.
Often these few points, which you can earn even while studying at school, will be a lifesaver for enrolling in a prestigious university on a budgetary basis. Universities and academies make an independent decision about what achievements, in what quantity, to add additional points to applicants.
Useful Facts
For example, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology has included in the list documents confirming that an applicant has graduated from an art school or a music school. Depending on the university, for the same achievements, you can expect to receive a different number of points. The reason for such discrepancies is in the exclusive right, which the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation has endowed with its order to domestic universities and academies. Universities are not required to add any additional points for the individual achievements of their potential students.
When choosing an educational institution, the applicant must carefully study the information presented at the university stand. This will allow him to score the maximum number of points to increase his chances of success. It is important for the 11th grade to collect the maximum amount of "evidence" of your creative and intellectual activity.
Conclusion
