Individual achievements upon admission to the university for many applicants become a chance for free tuition. Today we will analyze the basic rules according to which higher education institutions accept freshmen. So, we will consider this question in more detail.
How to confirm your achievements
There is a certain procedure for accounting for the individual achievements of applicants, according to which all the universities and institutions of our country work. Applicants can count on additional points if they provide documentary evidence in the form of diplomas, certificates, certificates.
Admission rules imply the accrual, if other criteria are equal, of additional points to those applicants who have their own achievements. They are summed up with those achievements that were demonstrated by high school students in a single state exam.

Olympics and intellectual competitions
Universities and institutes, at their discretion, count individual achievements upon admission to the university, depending on the direction. For example, when applying to ITMO University in St. Petersburg, the following achievements are counted for applicants:
- points for sports achievements accrue for the presence of the golden badge of the TRP;
certificate of a special sample (with honors) about the completion of secondary general education; - for the status of champion or winner of various sports games, European champion, world championship;

Accounting for individual achievements upon admission to universities is regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of 2014. According to the many changes that were published in April 2015 by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, any higher education institution has a legal right to change the accounting for personal achievements of applicants.
Informing about the registration of additional achievements of applicants
Admission rules oblige each educational institution of middle and senior level to inform the applicants in advance about the number of points that they can receive for personal achievements. Such information allows high school students to calculate in advance their chances of enrolling in a university (academy) in the chosen field of study.
The number of points awarded
We examined what individual achievements are taken into account at universities when applicants submit documents for admission. Now let’s dwell on the maximum number of points that applicants can count on.
According to the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the total number of points for individual achievements should not exceed ten points. In addition, up to 10 points can be obtained for the quality performance of the final essay in the eleventh grade. Documents confirming individual achievements must be submitted with the package of documents. Representatives of the selection committee carefully study all the diplomas and certificates that the entrant brings, summarize the points, put them in the final protocol.
Documents for confirmation
This year, graduates of educational institutions had the opportunity to add at least ten points to the results that were demonstrated at the final exams. This significantly increased the chances of children to get free education in their chosen higher education institutions. Many of them tried to grab at every opportunity to make their dream a reality.
Compared to the previous year, the number of points for creative, intellectual and sporting individual achievements was reduced from 20 to 10. This step was motivated by representatives of the Ministry of Education in that high school students spend too much of their free time to get extra points, completely forgetting about the full preparation for unified state exam.
Ways to get extra bonuses
Pupils of grades 10-11 try to use all possible chances to enter the university or academy of their choice after graduation. For example, you can take part in one of the subject Olympiads, a list of which is annually approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. For children who are studying in the eleventh grade, participation in intellectual and creative competitions, sports and athletics competitions, and physical education events will be useful and interesting. In this case, only those graduate victories that were achieved in 11th grade are taken into account. If a teenager successfully participated in several subject Olympiads at once, the one that is the most “significant” in level is selected to accrue additional points.
So that with an equal number of points the applicant had a chance to go up in the ranked list, a gold or silver medal will help him. For example, for those children who have chosen sports schools for their subsequent studies, the presence of the golden badge of the TRP will be an excellent bonus.
Often these few points, which can be earned while still at school, will be a lifesaver for enrolling in a prestigious university on a budgetary basis. Universities and academies make an independent decision on what achievements, in what quantity to add additional points to applicants.
Useful Facts
For example, MIPT included in the list documents confirming the graduation of an art school or music school by an applicant. Depending on the university, for the same achievements, you can count on getting a different number of points. The reason for such discrepancies in exclusive law, which the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation gave its order to domestic universities and academies. Universities are not required to add any additional points for the individual achievements of their potential students.
When choosing an educational institution, the applicant must carefully study the information presented at the university stand. This will allow him to score the maximum number of points in order to increase his chances of success. It is important for the 11th grade to collect the maximum amount of "evidence" of their creative and intellectual activities.
