How to get a public order for study in college?

The competition for admission to state-funded education is conducted based on the average competitive score, selected specialties, and established admission quotas.

For most technical and vocational and post-secondary education institutions, the automated allocation of applicants is carried out through the National Education Database (NEDB).

For pedagogical, medical, and creative specialties, the results of the required entrance examinations are also taken into account.

Competitive Selection Dates in 2026:

• July 29 – August 2 — for specialties requiring creative training.

• August 16–17 — for pedagogical specialties.

• August 16–17 — for medical specialties based on completion of Grade 9.

• August 18–19 — for medical specialties based on completion of Grade 11, technical and vocational education, or post-secondary education.

• August 23–24 — the main competition for places under the state educational order.

The competition is conducted within the number of places allocated for the respective specialties.

A special competitive allocation procedure applies to certain educational institutions in the fields of culture and sports.

Important: If applicants have equal average competitive scores, additional criteria established by the admission rules are taken into account, including the average grade in the educational qualification document and the applicant's admission quota category.
