To enter a state higher education institution, applicants must take an external test. However, private institutions do not have this requirement. Therefore, all that is required of a student is the desire to study and find their calling.

How to enter the university without the NMT?
Instead of the results of the multi-test, the admissions committee of our university takes into account school education and conducts an interview with the applicant regarding their educational experience and prospects. Independent testing is mandatory for state institutions. Due to the large number of applicants, they are unable to test the competence of each student individually and use a universal measure — the NMT/ZNO, while we allocate time for each student and determine their level of knowledge individually.
