Passing score

The column "Passing score" shows the average passing score for one exam (the minimum total passing score divided by the number of exams).

What is it and why is it important?

Enrollment in a university is based on the results of three or four USEs (for each exam, you can score a maximum of 100 points). In addition, some universities (Lomonosov Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, MGIMO) are allowed to take an additional exam in a specialized subject for the chosen specialty. Some specialties also require a professional or creative exam. You can score a maximum of 100 points for each additional exam. When enrolling, individual achievements (portfolio) are also taken into account, such as the final school essay, an excellent certificate, a TRP badge, volunteer activities. A maximum of 10 points can be awarded for an applicant's portfolio.

Passing score for any specialty in a certain university - this is the minimum total score with which the applicant was enrolled during the last admission campaign.

In fact, we know what points you could have entered last year. But, unfortunately, no one knows with what score you can do this or next year... It will depend on how many applicants and with what points apply for this specialty, as well as on how much will be allocated budget places... Nevertheless, knowing the passing scores allows you to estimate your chances of admission with a high degree of probability, so it is worth focusing on them, this is important.

Today we will talk about what universities there are in our city, how much does it cost to study in them and how their specificity will affect the future that you are planning for yourself. We will also touch upon the problem of the so-called ineffective universities.

Earlier, in a review of technical schools, I wrote that, in my opinion, higher education, sometimes inferior to a well-chosen special. But, on the other hand, having the coveted crust has a number of advantages:

• unfortunately, in our country there is still a strong prejudice against people without a "tower", so education "as a tick in a resume" can be useful;
• there are organizations where you are not entitled to enroll if you do not have a higher one, at least some;
• education can be a good start for the future; maybe you decide to write your Ph.D. in retirement - this is where your diploma comes in handy.

Voronezh, as you know, is a city of students. One omniscient Internet resource with the letter "B" told me that 127,000 (!) Students study in the capital of the Black Earth Region at the same time. Of course, a significant part of them are college students, but, all the same, Voronezh students can populate several rayts. Where do they all study, and who do they hope to become? Forward to reconnaissance? Where is the best place in Voronezh?

Study, study and study again: popular universities in the city

There are several dozen universities in Voronezh. They all have their own specifics, let's see what kind of prospects different educational institutions can open to different people.

State. Founded in 1918.
95 specialties.
Phone: 220-85-93.

The unconditional plus of VSU is that no matter what career you choose for yourself, you can start it from the university, well, except for those cases when you feel that a pathologist is sleeping in you or a taxidermist is sleeping. And if it's no joke, then VSU is confidently included in the hundred the best universities Russia, which is very significant.

Voronezh State Medical Academy named after V.I. N.N. Burdenko

State. Founded in 1918.
6 specialties.
Phone 252-03-80.
Address: st. Student, 10.
Faculties and directions:

• medical Faculty;
• Faculty of Pediatrics;
• Faculty of Dentistry;
• Faculty of Pharmacy;
• medical and preventive faculty.

It seems to me that it is not even accepted to speak well about doctors in Russia, and absolutely in vain, it seems to me. The Voronezh Academy has been preparing excellent specialists for many years (naturally, I am talking about those who want to be an excellent specialist). It is not in vain that there are so many foreign students studying here. The institution is very prestigious, but, despite the rumors, I heard from the current doctors that it is quite possible to enter it without bribes and connections.

Voronezh State Pedagogical University

State. Founded in 1931.
Phone 255-57-47.
Address: st. Lenin, 86.
Faculties and directions:

• Faculty of Physics and Mathematics;
• natural-geographical faculty;
• Faculty of Humanities;
• Faculty of Foreign Languages;
• faculty physical culture and life safety;
• psychological and pedagogical faculty;
• Faculty of Arts and Arts Education.

In my time they said: "There is no mind - go to ped." It is difficult to say how justified this statement is, but I faced one of the problems of this university when I was finishing school. The fact is that great amount applicants for whom SKHI and LesTech seem too strange, and VSU and VSTU are too inaccessible, automatically switch their attention to Pedagogical University... Needless to say that they do not strive to be teachers, which means that a significant part of training course goes to shaking the air. Perhaps this is why pedagogical education is not overly quoted, which, of course, will not play any role if you have excellent experience and unique skills.

Voronezh State Agrarian University named after Emperor Peter I

State, founded in 1912.
34 specialties.
Phone: 253-78-74.
Address: st. Michurina, 1, room 177.
Faculties and directions:

• Faculty of Land Management and Cadastres;
• Faculty of Humanities and Law;
• faculty veterinary medicine and livestock technologies;
• Faculty of Technology and Commodity Science;
• Faculty of Accounting and Finance;
• Faculty of Economics and Management.

This university recently celebrated its centenary. Our region with its exclusive chernozems is still in early XIX century was chosen as a research base for the development of agriculture. That is why it is sad that the most popular today is not the agroengineering faculty, but the ubiquitous faculties of law, accounting, economics and management. Of course, Agriculture needs managers, but something tells me that the graduates of the VSAU are in no hurry to leave for the countryside.

Institute of Management, Marketing and Finance

Non-state. Founded in 1991.
Phone: 235-55-19.

st. Karl Marx, 67.
st. Druzhinnikov, 8.
Directions of study:

• management;
• Applied Informatics;
• trading business;
• personnel Management;
• economy;
• economics (master's degree).

The university is more than 20 years old (other state ones are younger). I haven’t heard any bad reviews about it and didn’t find it with a targeted search on the Internet. From myself, I can add that the institute has excellent buildings with excellent sports halls.

International Institute of Computer Technology

Non-state. Founded in 1992.
11 specialties.
Phone 239-00-69.
Address: st. Solnechnaya, 29b.
Faculties and directions:

• Faculty of Information Systems;
• energy faculty;
• Faculty of Economics.

In 2010, the university signed an agreement with the Arcadia University on joint Russian-American training of specialists in several areas. In general, this university is the first that I heard about, that it provides a higher quality education than state universities.

Perhaps that opinion was subjective, but it was expressed to me by a graduate who occupies a very comfortable position in an extensive company that is very careful about the selection of employees.

Universities with a military department

What is a military department? Generally speaking, it is the right of an educational institution to train specialists for the armed forces. From the Internet, I learned that since 2008, graduates of military departments have not been drafted into the army, but they can be invited to military training at the most inopportune moment.

Voronezh State University

I wrote about him at the beginning of the review.

Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies

State. Founded in 1930.
41 specialties.
Phone: 255-28-35.
Address: Revolution Avenue, 19.
Faculties and directions:

• Faculty of Automation of Technological Processes;
• Faculty of Food Machines and Automata;
• Faculty of Ecology and Chemical Technology;
• Faculty of Technology;
• Faculty of Economics.

The university is better known in Voronezh as "Tekhnolozhka" Massively attracts former graduates of colleges who want to continue their education. I heard from my acquaintances, belonging to different generations, a lot of praise for the university, mainly due to a well-structured curriculum. That is, after this university it is quite easy to find a job.

Russian Academy of Justice, Central Branch

State. Founded in 2001.
4 specialties.
Phone: 271-54-15
Voronezh, st. 20th anniversary of October, 95
Faculties and directions:
Faculty of Law.

Academy founder - Supreme Court Russian Federation and the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation - agree, inspires. Here they train specialists for the 3rd branch of government. In general, among my friends working in the field of law, this educational institution considered prestigious and respected.

Voronezh State Technical University

State. Founded in 1955.
79 specialties.
Phone: 246-40-67.

faculties and directions:

• faculty information technologies and computer security;
• Faculty of Engineering and Economics;
• Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering;
• Faculty of Energy and Control Systems;
• Faculty of Radio Engineering and Electronics;
• Faculty of Evening and Distance Learning.

The university, better known in our city as a polytechnic. He is also known high quality education. Many of the current heads of large departments of numerous enterprises in Voronezh graduated from it (yes, there are still many enterprises). I would also like to add that if you are planning to connect your life with the technical sphere, then, of course, the Polytechnic University is an excellent solution, but if you want to go to the humanitarian sphere, then it might be worth choosing a university without the word “technical” in the name.

Voronezh State Forestry Academy

State. Founded in 1930.
31 specialties.
Phone: 253-73-65.
Voronezh, Timiryazeva st., 8.
Faculties and directions:

• forestry faculty;
• automotive faculty;
• timber industry faculty;
• mechanical faculty;
• Faculty of Economics.

The Forestry Academy is a very funny place, in my opinion. A close friend of mine had the privilege of being trained there. I called her a forester, and she called herself a "letekhkolkhoznik". The forest somehow runs through everything learning programs of all faculties, sprouting here and there with violent shoots.

Each student of this university is obliged to learn that forests need to be thinned regularly and even to study the types of felling. Some will be awarded a flight on a corn plant in order to explore the woodlands, and most will certainly pass the time on duty in the arboretum during the New Year holidays in order to save rare varieties of Christmas trees from poachers.

Of course, here you can get a profession, though rare, but in its own way in demand, but so specific that before you go to unite with nature, think about whether you are ready to do this all your life.

The sensational list of ineffective universities

In the past year, many of us have heard the daunting phrase "university inefficiency." Having monitored the Internet, I tried to figure out what it is. It turned out that the effectiveness assessment was carried out to determine whether the university has the potential for development. In this case, factors such as, for example, were taken into account:

• the amount of space per student;
• the number of foreign students;
• university income.

And some other aspects.

Based on the analysis of all this, a conclusion was made about the presence of signs of inefficiency in universities and a diagnosis was made about the need for reorganization. According to the results of this study, 5 useless universities were found in the Voronezh region:

• Borisoglebsk State Pedagogical Institute;
• Voronezh State Forestry Academy;
• Voronezh State agricultural university the name of Emperor Peter I;
• Voronezh State Institute of Physical Culture;
• Voronezh State Pedagogical University.

On the one hand, these are the same universities where they go when there is nowhere else, but, on the other hand, the problem, probably, the problem is that it is not very profitable to work as an agronomist, trainer or teacher in our time, these professions are not taken seriously ...

By the way, the participation of private universities in the monitoring was purely voluntary, otherwise, as it seems to me, the result would have been different. However, the procedure for evaluating the effectiveness itself has caused a lot of criticism and this year will be carried out taking into account regional specificities universities.

This is how our instructive review ends. Finally, I would like to say a few more words about the role that education plays in human life. In order to answer this question, I, of course, turned to the Internet for help and also talked with several “senior comrades” who consider their life to have taken place. I asked: what the "tower" has become for you. The answers were roughly as follows:

• work is not all life, but simply a non-repugnant source of income;
• education should help work, that is, "making" money;
• it is better to get some trivial, but demanded specialty and have a stable income and allow yourself any kind of rest and lifestyle, than constantly survive with a specialty "to your liking";
• if at 25 it will be easy for you to work “for an idea”, then by 40 you will already want comfort;
• If you are afraid, following these tips, to become an office plankton, then you are probably just in the wrong office and not spending your weekend like that.

Well, this point of view also has a right to life. It is not for nothing that it originated simultaneously in several people at once.

What do you think: education and future profession- for money or for the soul? Is it possible to choose two in one and, if you have to choose, what will you put at the forefront. Be sure to write. Let's have a discussion? It would be especially interesting to know how your views changed as you got older. I'm waiting!
