The acceptance of applications for budget places in bachelor's, specialist and basic higher education programs has ended. However, the acceptance of documents for master's and postgraduate programs continues.

"During the admissions campaign, more than 1.3 million applicants have already applied to universities, half of them using the "Online University Admission" service. It is important to note that three out of five in-demand specialties among applicants are engineering. President Vladimir Putin said that by 2030, Russia needs to train at least 2 million specialists in this field – they will be the ones who will ensure Russia's technological leadership in the future," said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Among the five most popular areas of study on a budget basis, three are in the field of “Engineering, Technology and Technical Sciences”.

The admissions campaign started in Russia on June 20. During this time, 1 million 363 thousand applicants applied to more than 11.7 million competitive groups. More than half of applicants used the "Online University Admission" service when submitting documents to universities. Many also used the service to track the status of their submitted application.

67% of applicants chose regional universities. The head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov noted that the super service "Online University Admission" opens up new directions for academic mobility of applicants.

"This is not just a tool for submitting documents online. We see that thanks to the super service, applicants from the regions see a completely different picture of opportunities; they choose not only home universities and universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but also universities in other regions of our country," the minister said.

According to the service "Online University Admission", the top five regions in terms of demand among applicants, in addition to Moscow and St. Petersburg, included universities in the Republic of Tatarstan, Sverdlovsk and Novosibirsk regions. Since 2025, universities in the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions have joined the super service "Online University Admission" for the first time.

Also this year, applicants have the opportunity to submit documents online through "Gosuslugi" for master's and postgraduate programs. Applications for these programs are still being accepted.

The head of the Ministry of Education Sergey Kravtsov spoke about the admission campaign in pedagogical universities. This year, a record number of applications were submitted for teacher training programs.

"This year, as in the past, we see a growing interest of young people in pedagogical fields. This indicates that the profession is becoming more in demand. During the current admissions campaign, according to data as of July 28, a record number of applications were submitted in pedagogical fields to pedagogical universities – 514,193. At the same time, 25% more applications were received for bachelor's and specialist's degree programs in pedagogical fields than according to the results of the admissions campaign of the 2024/2025 academic year – 471,405. I am sure that young specialists will come to schools and continue the best traditions of the national education system. It is gratifying that the direction "Education and Pedagogical Sciences" occupies one of the leading positions in the number of applications submitted for budget places," said Sergey Kravtsov.

Currently, the competition for admission to pedagogical universities is 16 people per place, while last year there were 10 people per place. The leaders in the number of applications are the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A.I. Herzen, Moscow State Pedagogical University and Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University.

36 pedagogical and more than 200 classical universities train personnel for the education system. This year, more than 75 thousand budget places have been allocated for pedagogical programs, of which almost 38 thousand are for universities subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Education.

Dmitry Grigorenko: The government is scaling up a pilot project to optimize document flow

The government is scaling up a pilot project to optimize document flow to federal ministries and departments. It is aimed at reducing the bureaucratic burden in the public administration system and increasing the real efficiency of the state apparatus. This work is being carried out under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Federal ministries and departments, with the support of analysts from the Government Office, have already begun assessing their work processes. Key areas for optimization include reducing redundant documents and reporting, reducing manual data entry and unnecessary actions in IT systems, and eliminating unnecessary approvals and paper copies. Based on the results of the analysis, departments will present specific indicators and checkpoints for restarting their work.

Since the beginning of 2025, such a project has been launched at the Government Office. Today, all of its structural divisions are already participating in it. Clear KPIs for reducing bureaucracy have been established for each of them. They are directly related to the regulatory tasks of the structural division.

In particular, the Government's Protocol Support Department will reduce the number of redundant documents by half (by 3,000 documents) by the end of 2025, and the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism will speed up internal document processing processes on average by half (by 20 days). These changes will affect optimized processes.

"We have consistently achieved 100 percent executive discipline by increasing the speed of work with documents. At the same time, analytics have shown that a significant portion of these documents are redundant. Now our task is not just to speed up approvals and control the execution of tasks, but to increase the real efficiency of the state apparatus. In essence, we are introducing a fundamentally new approach to civil service, and the focus is not on bureaucratic procedures, but on real changes and measurable results," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

All optimization results are recorded on a special dashboard, which reflects key improvements in the work of departments in real time. These include a reduction in manual data entry by half, the cancellation of more than 1.8 thousand redundant documents. In addition, the duration of operational processes was reduced by a total of 244 days.

The project will continue to develop to reduce the administrative burden and improve the quality of work of government agencies.

The expected number of applicants is 75 people. Instruction will be conducted in Kazakh, Russian, and English.

Seven higher education institutions and four scientific organizations located in the Omsk region are participating in the project to create an inter-university campus.

It is planned to create a single ecosystem "kindergarten – school – secondary vocational education/university – enterprise". Such integration will allow schoolchildren to use university laboratories, and students to work at the production sites of companies, solving real cases through internships and joint projects.

The planned area of campus facilities will be 215 thousand square meters. Of these: 5 academic buildings – 30 thousand square meters; technology park – 40 thousand square meters; flagship school – 30 thousand square meters; student dormitories – 40 thousand square meters (7.8 thousand places to stay); apart-hotel – 25 thousand square meters; sports and leisure center – 15 thousand square meters; business center – 25 thousand square meters; events area – 10 thousand square meters.

The campus specializations are determined based on the order of the real sector of the economy, as well as in accordance with the priority areas of scientific and technological development and the list of the most important science-intensive technologies: "Space and intelligent engineering", "ChemBioTech", "Biofortification in the agro-industrial complex", "Construction engineering and energy", "Social well-being of the future", "Digital logistics and supply chain management", "Instrument engineering and radio electronics". Three end-to-end centers are also planned: an additive technology center, a computing center, and a certification center.

The key partners of the project are JSC GC Etalon and PJSC Sberbank of Russia. Industrial partners are the state corporations Rostec, Roscosmos, Rosatom, the United Engine Corporation, JSC Russian Railways, and the Titan Group of Companies.
