Nizhny Novgorod is a city with a population of more than a million people, the administrative center of the Volga Federal District and the Nizhny Novgorod Region. Nizhny Novgorod is an important industrial, cultural and economic center of Russia. There are also educational institutions and a major transport hub located here. Applicants from other cities and towns come to study in a large city of the Russian Federation. The famous Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N.I. operates here. Lobachevsky.
The Volga State Academy of Water Transport, which is recognized as the country's largest university producing water transport engineers, is in great demand among students.
Nizhny Novgorod is home to one of the oldest and largest pedagogical universities in the Russian Federation - Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University. It includes 9 faculties, 66 departments and educates more than 12,000 students.
In Nizhny Novgorod there are 4 academies, 6 universities, more than 5 institutes, and a conservatory. In total, more than 50 higher educational institutions and branches of other universities operate in the city. The first higher education institution was opened back in 1911.
Universities in Nizhny Novgorod train their students in a variety of areas. It is worth noting that Nizhny Novgorod is known throughout the world as a center of radiophysics. The Luxembourg-Gorky effect was named after this stunning city. The city is home to the country's largest production and scientific radar center - JSC FSPC NNIIRT. Not many people know that Nizhny Novgorod conducts research in laser physics, plasma physics, hydrodynamics, organometallic chemistry, etc.
The leadership of the Nizhny Novgorod region has always strived to increase the number of budget places in state universities in the region every year. This season is no exception: in 2017, according to the so-called green wave, the number of places for applicants was 130 more than last year, amounting to 7,307 places. The passing scores required for admission to the leading higher education institutions in the region, speaking on average, have decreased slightly, which is good news. Naturally, universities will give preference to those applicants who scored the most points on the Unified State Exam, as well as to those who have any other achievements or preferences, for example, winners of regional and city Olympiads or some sports competitions. In any case, the procedure for enrolling such applicants is regulated by the internal policies of the universities themselves, which is often impossible to influence at the federal level. Many of the Nizhny Novgorod universities offer additional courses, the graduates of which can enter the budget for easier programs if they show a certificate with the highest grades.
Preferential categories eligible to enter the “budget”
Let us immediately note that it is quite difficult to enroll in a budget-funded place at any of the universities in Nizhny Novgorod, despite the seemingly sufficient number of such places. However, this year there will be almost twice as many applicants. And here it should be taken into account that preference for admission to the budget department will traditionally be given to those who have the right to this, that is, beneficiaries. There are these categories:
- Disabled people of all groups and orphans – if we are talking about children.
- Children who have grown up or are growing up without parental care.
- Military personnel (or those who have already served, retired military, reserve officers, etc.) of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (including those who serve (served) under a contract).
- Disabled people of the first and second groups - if their capabilities allow them to undergo training.
- Persons under the age of 20 who have only one parent - a disabled person of the first group, as well as families if the total income is below the current subsistence level.
If you belong to one of the above categories, then your chances of entering any Nizhny Novgorod higher education institutions, as they say, on a budget, are quite high and real.
But if you don’t, then remember that in order to enroll in the budget department “on the green wave” you will have to compete with just such beneficiaries.
Where can you enroll in a budget department in Nizhny Novgorod?
In general, if we talk about the types of training in higher educational institutions in Nizhny Novgorod, then, as throughout the Russian Federation, there is the possibility of full-time (or full-time) education, combined part-time (or evening) education, and exclusively correspondence education. You need to understand that in the last two cases, the chances of getting into a budget-funded place practically tend to zero: in order for students to study on a budget, the vast majority of universities stipulate only full-time and full-time education. We should also separately highlight a case that stands apart: this is when a student works and at the same time studies, say, in an evening course, and the employer (and maybe the regional budget, for example, in rare cases) pays in full or in part for this training - such training is not is considered “budgetary”; it is simply not paid for from the student’s own pocket.
In Nizhny Novgorod at this time there are more than fifty different higher educational institutions, both independent and operating in the form of branches of Russian universities from other regions. Those of them that make it possible to enroll in a budget department can be fundamentally divided into three types, as, indeed, are universities throughout the rest of the Russian Federation:
- universities (wide-profile, comprehensive universities, with a large number of internal structures in them, covering all areas of activity). There are exactly six universities in Nizhny Novgorod;
- academies (specialized universities that train specialists of an extremely high level of qualification, but only in one particular field of knowledge). There are currently four such establishments in Nizhny Novgorod;
- institutes (the most common type of higher educational institutions, the graduates of which, as a rule, belong to a fairly narrow field of focus). Now Nizhny Novgorod has five universities of this type.
It should also be noted that in Nizhny Novgorod there is also a conservatory (Nizhny Novgorod State Conservatory named after M. I. Glinka), which is also ranked among the universities of the highest degree of accreditation and offers its own quota of budget places for applicants (183 places as of 2017, minimum passing score – 71). The duration of study at budgetary departments of Nizhny Novgorod higher educational institutions can range from four to six years.
Nizhny Novgorod universities that accept state employees
Finally, we come to the most important thing - specifics. So, universities in Nizhny Novgorod with budget places, the list of them is quite impressive.
Let's start with universities. The passing score in them, as a rule, is fixed initially, the number of budget places in percentage terms is the largest.
NNGASU, or Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. Specialties in the field of architecture and design, according to sociological surveys, are among the most in-demand professions in Nizhny Novgorod at the moment. For this reason, the passing score on the Unified State Exam for entry into this university is quite high - exactly 100. True, there are quite a lot of budget places: 737.
NGLU, or Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University named after. N. A. Dobrolyubova. The passing score is high - 211. The number of places in the budget department is 155. A good university that graduates students in the humanities.
NSU or Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky. One of the main universities in Nizhny Novgorod and the region, therefore the number of budget places offered is maximum - as many as 1411. The low passing score is also pleasing - 72. At one time, this university became the first university in the Nizhny Novgorod region (1916). Now it is consistently included in the rankings of the ten best universities in the Russian Federation.
NSTU, or Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after. R. E. Alekseeva. It is included in the top hundred best universities in Russia. The university specializes in graduating technical professionals for science and industry. In order to enter the “budget” (there are 1,258 places available this year), you need to score at least 118 points on the Unified State Examination.
VGUVT, or Volga State University of Water Transport. The passing score this year is encouraging: 96. The number of state employees that the university is generous with is 585 people, which, in general, is not bad.
NSPU, or Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University named after. Kozma Minin. Pedagogical University in the classical sense; This season, 616 places have been allocated to “state employees,” but what the passing score will be is still unknown: everything will depend solely on the number of applicants.
Nizhny Novgorod academies cannot always give a passing grade, and they allocate much fewer places to state employees than universities. But graduates leave academies as true professionals in their highly specialized field and have a good chance of getting a good job. Below are presented only those academies that provide “budget” places.
Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The institution is quite rated, so the entrance score is unexpectedly extremely high - 300. The number of places provided for “budget” students is 348.
Nizhny Novgorod State Agricultural Academy (NSAHA). It is distinguished by its low passing score (100), and also by the fact that it is the largest agricultural university in the Volga Federal District. It welcomes “state employees” by allocating 685 places to them in 2017.
The institutes of Nizhny Novgorod are the least favored by applicants wishing to enroll in budgetary departments. In general, at the beginning of 2017 there was only one institute.
Nizhny Novgorod State Engineering and Economic Institute (NGIEI). It’s a young university, but there is an “allocation” for “state employees”: 395 people. The passing score at which an applicant becomes a student is quite acceptable - 95. The institute has a branch, also called an “institute,” namely the Institute of Food Technology and Design.
As for the branches of Russian higher educational institutions located in Nizhny Novgorod, then, firstly, information about the number of “state employees” is accepted by the management of the main university, and not its branch, so this kind of information is difficult to access and is always inaccurate. The passing score is also only given approximately. We are talking about educational institutions, for example, the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation.
