The Ministry of Education and Science proposed introducing a new procedure for taking into account high USE results

Brief retelling from RIA II

From 2027, applicants to Russian universities will be able to receive from 15 to 25 additional points for high Unified State Examination results in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and biology, which were not used for admission.

Additional points are awarded only for subjects directly related to the future specialty and depend on the Unified State Examination result.

The initiative aims to strengthen the fundamental training of future engineers and will be part of the updated admission rules for the 2027/28 academic year.

MOSCOW, October 9 - RIA Novosti. Applicants to Russian universities from 2027, according to the draft order of the Ministry of Education and Science, will be able to receive from 15 to 25 additional points for high Unified State Examination results in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and biology, which were not used for admission to the university, the press service of the ministry told RIA Novosti.

“Today, a graduate who has passed beyond the required level, for example, in physics or chemistry, cannot receive points for this. The new norm changes the situation: at the request of the applicant, additional points will be awarded for the Unified State Examination result, which he passed, but does not use when calculating the amount of competitive points,” the message says.

The department noted that this measure applies to areas in the field of mathematical, natural science and engineering education and takes into account results beyond the required ones. The fourth entrance exam is not introduced: the applicant himself decides whether to take an additional subject. In this case, additional points are awarded only for subjects directly related to the future specialty: mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and biology.

The number of additional points depends on the result: 60-74 Unified State Examination points will add 15 points to the applicant, 75-89 points - 20 points, and 90-100 points - 25 points.

“If adopted, the initiative will become part of the updated admission rules for the 2027/28 academic year, which, in particular, are aimed at strengthening the fundamental training of future engineers,” the ministry emphasized.
