To enroll in the program, applicants must have a minimum GPA of 4.0, be prepared to learn new skills, and be willing to undertake internships in regions where Gazprom Neft subsidiaries operate.
Each year, no more than 15 students are admitted to the program, each of whom undergoes a multi-stage selection process.
