For the majority of applicants to have a target direction in a university is a real chance to get higher education for free.
If we analyze the current situation, it is most likely to draw up a similar document in educational institutions of industries such as education, medicine and agriculture, since it is in them that there is a noticeable personnel shortage. Therefore, to receive the target direction to the university of any of these profiles is an opportunity for an applicant to enter. In the future, the state will receive good specialists in the right direction.
The advantages of this method of entry are many.
Firstly, applicants will not have to withstand a tough competition, as with admission to the general stream. Therefore, many of them seek to receive a targeted direction in a medical university, which is very difficult to become a student.
Secondly, the problem of employment after graduation will be solved. This is currently very important.
But be sure to keep in mind that such training is usually provided at the expense of the organization or enterprise. Therefore, if the target direction to the university is received, the student graduated from the educational institution and received a diploma, he must work in the structure for three years, but no less. Such an educational strategy makes an invaluable contribution to the development of problem areas, from the point of view of personnel.
Let us dwell in more detail on how to get the target direction to the university.
At the initial stage, it is recommended to contact the city or district administration with a request to allocate a place. The administration of the school in which the applicant is studying can apply, or he himself can.
But such active actions must be carried out as early as possible. A statement of desire to study in the direction of the municipality must be written no later than winter. The application of the school where the child studied, as well as the organization that will allocate funds for the education of the future student, must be attached to this document.
The local administration collects all applications for the next school year. Then she sends this data to the universities that collaborate with her on the program. Universities determine the number of such places, based on their capabilities and the estimated total number of applicants.
The target direction to the university will be provided for a single specialty in a particular educational institution. The application for admission must be accompanied by a target agreement. It is concluded between the Customer (the enterprise to which the student will return after receiving the diploma), the Contractor (the university that will prepare the specialist) and the applicant.
This document must be read very carefully, because educational institutions do not always want to teach a target student absolutely free. Or there are some nuances with the payment of scholarships and others. Therefore, to begin with, it is very good to study and sign the contract that suits you.
The university is obliged to give confirmation of the availability of target places before the work of the selection committee. Moreover, information should be provided on the number of targeted places for each specialty or direction.
In the future there will be a competition for each place, but only among target-holders.
This issue has its own subtleties. The fact is that every university
independently sets the minimum that will be necessary for the competition. So, in one institution it can be two people per place, and in another - one and a half.
In recent years, there has been a steady decrease in target places. The main reason for this is the increasing demographic pit. Over the next five years, this situation will only worsen.
