Admission to the University
"What are the passing score for this year?" - is one of the most popular questions of applicants to the admission committee.

In addition, the passing grades of the directions and profiles of training differ. Information about the passing scores for the previous year applicants can get from the orders on admission to the first year, which are posted on the website in the archive of the previous year.

This number of points is enough to pass on the budget.
The minimum score is the threshold minimum score that must be achieved for an examination to be considered passed. If the applicant scores less than this value, he/she will not be able to apply to the university.
