What innovations have appeared in the UNT process in 2021?

This year, the Ministry of Education and Science has developed new rules for conducting the UNT.

Only the number of subjects, questions, and testing time will remain the same. The deputy head of the Department of Education of the Almaty region told about this in more detail on the information platform "JETISÝ MEDIA".

According to Aizhan Admabekova, the testing is conducted in electronic format for the first time. This will ensure the transparency and openness of the UNT procedure.

"The UNT in electronic format will be organized on the principle of "one test subject – one computer – one camera". In addition to the front-facing camera, which will broadcast what is happening in the audience, another camera will be installed above each table. A state-of-the-art proctoring and video surveillance system will be provided, as well as Face ID digital identification to exclude fake persons at the UNT.

Compliance with the rules will be monitored by a special computer program that automatically detects the facts of the use of prohibited items, " the speaker shared.

If during the UNT it is found that the applicant used someone else's help or used smartphones, cheat sheets, the testing will be automatically terminated, and the results will be canceled.

"Additional monitoring of the testing process will be carried out by the situation center. Representatives of the special monitoring group of the Anti - Corruption Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the project office "Adaldyk Alany" will also be involved in the UNT to ensure openness and objectivity, " Aizhan Adambekova said.

It should be emphasized that for the first time applicants for a state educational grant can pass the UNT twice. For example, if the applicant passed the test in April, you can retake it again in a few days, either in May or in June. To participate in the competition for a state educational grant, an applicant can present a certificate with the best result.

The test is given 4 hours, while applicants for the UNT can score a maximum of 140 points.

In total, in 2021, there are about 18 thousand graduates of 11 classes in the Almaty region. Of these, the UNT is planned to pass more than 14 thousand.
