They write that the academy is one of the most corrupt universities. They also point out that some students do not study, but at the same time receive diplomas with good grades. The actions of Rosobrnadzor serve as confirmation of the reliability of some negative reviews (several branches were found to be ineffective after inspections).
To enter a given state university (its branches) or not is a personal matter for each applicant. Some students like the Presidential Academy. It is also worth remembering that teachers have no right to force students to learn disciplines and study additional literature.
