A "sixth option" will be opened for applicants
A new opportunity is being created for young people who failed to enter university: starting from the last week of August, applicants will be given the right to choose an additional 6th option based on vacant (empty) places.
"We are opening the opportunity to choose the sixth option wherever there is a vacant place and it matches the set of subjects submitted by the applicant. This practice is planned to start next week," — said Deputy Minister Sardor Rajabov.
News regarding contracts, super-contracts and dormitories
Contract and super-contract prices: Within the framework of financial independence granted to universities, the amounts of paid-contracts and differentiated contracts will now be determined by the higher education institutions themselves.
Immediate attendance of classes: Applicants who want to study on the basis of a super-contract can directly attend classes from the very first days of the academic year without waiting for paperwork.
Dormitory factor: According to the ministry's analysis, young people living in student dormitories master subjects much better compared to those living in rented apartments or their own homes.
Graduate quality index: In the future, open statistics on the expulsion of students will be kept, and the educational efficiency of each HEI will be evaluated through a separate index.
In your opinion, how fair an opportunity do independent determination of super-contract prices by universities and the introduction of the "sixth option" create for applicants?
