The main results of the admission campaign of 2021, ratings of specialties and institutions of higher education.

“Despite the adaptive quarantine in force in Ukraine, the admission campaign took place in the usual time in a calm mode. This was facilitated not only by the organization of the high-level admission process by higher education institutions but also by the fact that this year the opportunities for submitting applications in electronic form were expanded. You can not only come in person to the admissions committee of the institution but also submit the relevant documents by e-mail with the imposition of the entrant’s CEP.
