"There will be fewer Olympians." The Ministry of education tightens the rules
The situation when all budget places are occupied by the winners of the Olympics is not the norm
Admission campaign-2026 was remembered not only by the competition, but also by problems with the Olympic benefits. The head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov said that the situation when all budget places are occupied by the winners of the Olympiads is “not the norm”. Therefore, the requirements for them will be tightened.
The Minister noted that universities themselves can decide which Olympiads and on which subjects to take into account. But if approached rationally, problems can be avoided now.
The rectors also asked to pay attention to paid tuition and limit the number of universities with which the applicant can simultaneously conclude a contract. In order not to be so: submitted documents to ten places, and then chooses.
