Novosibirsk State University sums up the interim results of the 2025 admission campaign. At the priority and main stages, 1,333 people were admitted to budget places for bachelor's and specialist's degrees, including places of separate, special and target quotas, this year, of which 116 people are winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian Olympiad and Olympiads from the list of the Russian Society of Schoolchildren. The geography of those admitted includes 64 regions of Russia, the share of out-of-town applicants is more than 70%.
This year, the number of applications for all bachelor's and specialist's degree programs exceeded 23 thousand, which is 17% more than in 2024. Also, the number of applicants who applied for admission to NSU increased by almost 7% and amounted to more than 8,200 people. The average score for the budget for the main competition remained at the 2024 level – about 85.
At the stage of priority enrollment within a separate quota (children of SVO participants) in 2025, the number of students increased threefold and amounted to 93 people from 21 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, including 29 people without entrance examinations. Within the special quota, 40 people were enrolled, of which 10 were orphans and children left without parental care, and 30 were disabled. Within the targeted admission, 20 people were enrolled, most of them in the direction of "General Medicine".
Schoolchildren from all over Russia entered NSU, and the geography of applicants expanded: if in 2024, students represented 58 regions, then this year – 64. The top 5 regions include Novosibirsk Oblast (40%), Altai Krai and the Altai Republic (9%), Kemerovo Oblast (9%), Irkutsk Oblast and Zabaykalsky Krai (6.5%), Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk Oblasts (4%). The largest number of out-of-town applicants is in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Physics and Mechanics and Mathematics Faculties – more than 75%.
An innovation, compared to 2024, is the development of programs by the university with the support of industrial partners.
— This year we launched several new promising areas. For example, a new bachelor's degree program "Applied Artificial Intelligence" to train top specialists in the field of AI, which is being implemented with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation and the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation. The anchor partner of the program is the multidisciplinary IT holding T1. More than 300 applications for 150 places with tuition fees were submitted for the program. Also, for the first time, recruitment took place for new programs of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU: "Medical Cybernetics" (specialist) and "Industrial Pharmacy" (master's degree). These are network educational programs, implemented jointly with the Engineering School of Moscow State University, the industrial partners are the companies "Generium" and "Pharmstandard". New medical areas will be developed on the basis of the infrastructure of the NSU campus under construction, — said the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.
If we talk about the most popular areas, then traditionally there is high competition in areas with a small number of budget places. This year, the top 5 included "Jurisprudence" (67 people per place), "Linguistics" (44 people per place), "Business Informatics" (42 people per place), "Sociology" (34 people per place), "Informatics and Computer Science. Computer Science and Systems Engineering" (33 people per place).
— We are seeing an increase in interest in engineering and IT specialties. Thus, the following areas showed the greatest increase in the number of applications, compared to 2024: "Informatics and Computer Engineering", "Mathematics and Mechanics", "Mathematics and Computer Science", "Applied Mathematics and Physics". The last of the above-mentioned programs is relatively new: we launched it only last year, this year we doubled the recruitment, and the area turned out to be very popular: the competition was 31 people per place. Also this year we are seeing a positive trend — interest in the "Physics. Fundamental Research" area has grown: both the number of applications and the average passing score have increased, — added Mikhail Fedoruk.
Every year, digital channels of interaction with applicants are becoming increasingly popular: this year, more than 80% of schoolchildren submitted applications through the State Services portal.
