Recently, suspicious advertisements about admission to part-time education from the 2nd-3rd year have sharply increased on social networks, reported lawyer and blogger Khushnudbek Khudoyberdiev. In these advertisements, it became clear that through the services promised by consulting firms, students’ illegal admission to higher courses is being organized.
Lawyer and blogger Khushnudbek Khudoyberdiev, in order to investigate the problem, contacted one of the firms as a client and discovered many interesting details. Firstly, various private firms promise to "admit" you to part-time education from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and even 5th year, with a list of more than 50 specialties. Clients are offered a list of more than 10 private universities — you can choose any. The service fee, depending on the specialty, is from 10 million to 30 million soums, and this is only the firm's “fee”; the university contract is paid separately.
Another serious issue is that firms prepare a fake document in your name as if you are studying at universities in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan or Tajikistan, but they keep this document to themselves and do not show it to the client. Then, with this "paper", supposedly as a "transfer", you are enrolled in a higher course at a private university in Uzbekistan. The university gives you a contract, and if you pay the tuition fee, you easily become a student of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even 5th year.
Lawyer Khudoyberdiev emphasizes that some universities may also be involved in this process, as any reputable university is obliged to check the student's documents. However, due to large payments, some educational institutions are participating in this corrupt scheme.
The most shocking is that the firms do not stop at just placing the student in the university, but also enter the student's data into the Ministry's HEMIS system with a backdated entry. At the same time, they require full payment of the contract from the client.
According to Khudoyberdiev, from the beginning of 2025 to July 3, the data of 41,812 students were entered into HEMIS, of which 25,821 were enrolled in part-time education. Naturally, this raises many questions: where is the control mechanism? Is the fight against corruption real? “How??? Isn’t anyone controlling this???” the lawyer asked.
According to the lawyer, in some private universities, thousands of students were accepted to 3rd and 4th years with "documents". This turns the current situation into an “open crime” — all the corruption is happening in front of everyone, but no real action is being taken.
“What kind of mystery is this, comrades? Like an 'open murder case', a crime is committed in broad daylight, and we all just watch? Interesting… Very interesting…” — the lawyer Khudoyberdiev concluded his post.
This situation once again shows that the issues of transparency and legality in the education system require serious attention. After all, the fate of the youth — the future owners of the country — should not become a commodity.
