Target set in HSE. Sberbank and the Higher School of Economics announce admission to the Finance

The full name of the educational institution is the National Research University " graduate School Economics”, abbreviated NRU HSE. Unofficial name - the result of a student folk art- "Tower".

This university is in the top 5 best universities country and is rightly considered the most progressive and prestigious among the metropolitan institutions.

General information about the Higher School of Economics

The university operates on a budget commercial basis: the institution receives state subsidies, income from its own scientific projects, contract students and from third party sponsors and organizations. Such multi-channel injections into the university budget enable the institution's management to constantly improve the material and technical base of the HSE and the very quality of education.

There are 128 research centers, 36 scientific and design laboratories, 32 international laboratories under the guidance of foreign researchers on the basis of the Higher School of Economics. HSE conducts the most intensive program among Moscow universities international activities, cooperates with 298 foreign partners, has 41 double degree programs with foreign universities.

It is noteworthy that from the very day of its foundation, the institution has been headed by a permanent rector - Ya. I. Kuzminov.

“We study not for school, but for life” is the motto of the Higher School of Economics.

History of University

The Higher School of Economics cannot boast of a turbulent history. The first brick of this European-oriented university was not laid by Peter I himself, and its corridors were not trampled by Lomonosov or Nietzsche.

This is a relatively young, but very intensively developing, progressive university. If educational institutions were identified with cities, then HSE would be Singapore or Hong Kong.

So, the school was opened for students with November 17, 1992. Already in 2009, this university received the title of National Research University on a competitive basis.

Faculty of Law. We can safely say that this faculty trains the best lawyers of Russian modernity. This is not unreasonable, because the university itself was created not without the participation of the administrative and ruling elite. It is important to note that students are taught material with a huge emphasis on practice. Invite experts from public institutions, practicing lawyers, etc.

Faculty humanities . This faculty cannot be called profile for the HSE, experts also note that the humanities are trained here with the understanding that their specialization is a priori inferior to the affairs of computer scientists or economists. But the faculty has the strongest school of foreign languages. Also, most of the lectures are public and optional for students of other specialties. Every student who wants to expand their horizons can come to cultural studies, philosophy and additional courses of foreign languages.

Faculty of Communications, Media and Design. This faculty is the patrimony of female students, there are even fewer males here than in the Pedagogical Institute. Apparently, the laurels of Anna Wintour or Carrie Bradshaw haunt the fair sex more. But seriously, the faculty trains not only journalists, but rather full-fledged specialists for media communications with an emphasis on working in the Internet environment, PR companies, and design institutions.

Faculty of Economic Sciences- the most specialized and largest faculty. Student reviews about economics and statistics at the HSE as a field of study sound rather ambiguous. Allegedly, the academic load among students is on the verge of unbearable. But the cooperation with the world's transnational corporations and universities, which is available at this faculty, gives students access to unique knowledge and the possibility of unlimited development and successful employment anywhere in the world. The future Henry Fords and Adam Smiths are produced here. Let's lower our eyes to the fact that the notorious S. Mavrodi successfully unlearned here.

International Institute of Economics and Finance (ICEF)

This faculty should definitely be discussed separately. This is a diamond among pearls. A unique educational institution in the CIS. To create it back in 1997, the Higher School of Economics and the London School of Economics (one of the top three economic education in the world) joined forces. And it turned out such a grandiose brainchild. Graduates of the institute receive both candy and ice cream - a diploma from the Higher School of Economics and a diploma from the London School of Economics.

The competition is merciless, and the load on the faculty is impressive. From the very first school day All training is conducted in English. Budget seats for winners only All-Russian Olympiad. rave reviews about international relations at the HSE only fuel the interest of the public in this university. Students spend a third of the course in London, absorbing all the practical knowledge that experience can give such education. The excitement around admission to this faculty is huge, even the tuition fee of 600 thousand rubles a year does not stop applicants.

If you don’t have the courage and finances to study at ICEF, you can get a bachelor’s degree at another faculty, and enter the master’s program under a double degree program. HSE has 40 such programs.

Features of studying at the HSE

Exists a large number of educational features at the Higher School of Economics. Student reviews note that studying at this university is completely different from standard education in our country. But this is easy to explain - the university eagerly absorbs the experience of successful world educational institutions. And if you pay attention to the success of HSE graduates, then other national universities would also do well to expand their views on teaching and not turn away from successful world experience.

The Higher School of Economics became one of the first national universities who switched to the 4 + 2 training program (bachelor's, master's). Academic year It is divided not into semesters, but into modules, there are four of them, at the end of each student is waiting for certification. The sum of the module grades determines the annual grade.

The grading system is ten-point, in the European manner.

In building tactics educational process a focus on success. Students are immediately prepared to be confident, competitive and highly motivated. The university has a rating system. HSE students' comments about these very ratings are full of diabolical emoticons, but even dissatisfied, tired students admit that nothing motivates as much as this very rating risk.

So what's the deal? Yes, everything is simple. Contractors with a high rating receive discounts or are transferred to the budget. State employees with a high rating keep their scholarships, those with an average rating lose their scholarships, and those with a low rating are transferred to a contract. This encourages students to be active, learn non-stop, get used to the conditions of a highly competitive environment.

An item like " Physical Culture, the university does not. There is gym, various sections, courses, etc. Please develop, take care of your health and physical condition. But this is a matter of choice.

Positive feedback from students about HSE

Only the opinion of children can be more subjective than the opinions of students. Often, HSE student reviews are based on personal success or failure in the learning process. But quite a few young people dare to state their opinion about HSE objectively and rationally.

A huge plus for the university - for this circumstance alone, it needs to erect a monument in the form of a happy student - there is practically no corruption at the HSE. This is noted by most students. Whether the reason is the intensive financing of the activities of the university by sponsors, or loyalty to the principles of "European transparency", but students agree that getting a diploma only with knowledge is very real here.

The quality of knowledge, lectures and teacher training varies across faculties. If we analyze the reviews about the HSE in Moscow, then students agree that the quality of teaching in the humanities and political science is a little behind.

Not a single review describes the quality of education as eloquently as the statistics of employment by profile after graduation from this university: 94% of graduates found suitable job. This is despite the fact that 48% warmed up a warm corporate place even before receiving a diploma. Leading companies send their recruits to prestigious universities to look for valuable talent while they are still on the student bench.

What are the negative aspects of studying at the HSE most often indicated by students in their reviews?

Most of all, students complain about the workload and the need to gain knowledge in a permanently competitive environment. It is endless to talk about whether it is possible to push students who were children yesterday with their foreheads together. But the leadership of the HSE has made a choice and is not going to cancel the rating system.

Also, students are indignant about the Anti-Plagiarism system. There is a university program that checks every work. In the text, only 20% of quoting with an exact indication of the source is allowed. Everything else is the author's personal judgments, conclusions, etc. Naturally, this greatly increases the time for preparing essays and term papers for students.

Dormitories of the Higher School of Economics

The HSE buildings are scattered around the city, as are the dormitories. Today, the Higher School of Economics has 9 dormitories. Reviews about HSE dormitories are mostly positive, but utterly ironic. All the humor lies in the fact that they are located in the Moscow region, and the road from the place of residence to the educational building is an inexhaustible ground for student jokes. If we discard this inconvenience, then the rest of the HSE dormitories are made “for people”. They are apartment type, they have all the amenities. In Moscow, it is cheaper and closer, but it is only suitable for residents who are unpretentious in terms of comfort.

All hostels have wireless free Internet with access at any time of the day.

The atmosphere in the hostel is upbeat, productive and motivating. The HSE did an elementary and ingenious thing, they paid tribute to the desire of every person for everyday comfort. They made modern classrooms and hostels for students, and they do not care how to accumulate water in basins, wash their hair over the sink, etc. But they care about acquiring knowledge and self-development.

Master's at HSE: student reviews, master's programs

Documents in accepts in in electronic format. After the approval of the electronic application, the originals can be brought to the selection committee or sent by mail.

All applicants pass a competition in the form of entrance exams (most often economics + English language+ mathematics, but the disciplines vary depending on the faculty).

The order for enrollment is issued somewhere in the middle of August, two weeks before the start of lectures.

Master's programs at HSE look very attractive. Almost all of them are bilateral and enable students to obtain double degrees and get a unique learning experience at HSE. Today, the HSE cooperates with the Humboldt Universities in Berlin, the Pantheon-Sorbonne in Paris, Mason in New York, with 10 universities in Britain, including the London School political science, as well as higher institutions in Canada, USA, Luxembourg, Finland, etc.

Training in the target area is always free higher education with a job guarantee for several years after graduation.

For those applicants who want to study on a budgetary basis and subsequently work in their specialty, obtaining such a direction is cherished dream, a ticket to the future, the road to career prospects.

Who is entitled to issue target direction, how an applicant to a university can get it, what could be the grounds for refusing to extradite - we will consider all these issues in this article.

Study with job security

The scheme of targeted training has been familiar in Russia for a long time. Earlier, in Soviet time, all universities distributed graduates to different regions of the country, where the newly minted specialist was supposed to start his career. At present, there is no mandatory distribution, but the state remains interested in ensuring that the shortage of personnel is filled evenly in the country.

Against the backdrop of hundreds of thousands of certified lawyers, economists and managers, many applicants do not find such professions as a veterinarian, ecologist, historian to be quite prestigious - the problem of finding employment in their specialty remains quite acute. Many have a calling, but due to low salaries they do not become teachers or doctors.

Training in targeted areas to a certain extent solves the problem of personnel: its essence is that the state or a private enterprise pays for the student's education. After graduation, a young specialist is obliged to find a job in the organization from which he received a recommendation and work in it for 3-5 years.

If the graduate refuses to "work off", he will have to return the entire amount spent on his vocational training.

Getting an education in this way can be called privileged, since it is easier to enter the desired faculty - the passing score according to the results of the USE is lower. In rare cases (if we are talking about a popular specialty), the requirements for contestants can be quite strict. One referral is issued to only one specific person, it is impossible to transfer it to another applicant, it is forbidden to use it for admission to several universities.

Targeted admission implies training on the basis of agreements drawn up between a representative of a higher educational institution and:

a federal state body (for example, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, the Main Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation);
a public authority of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (for example, with a municipal authority of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation on the allocation of targeted places for training at medical universities);
public municipal institution(direction from school, gymnasium to pedagogical universities);
a state-owned company or an enterprise where there is a share of state funds in the authorized capital (Rosneft, Gazprom);
a commercial enterprise that has the means to pay for the education of its future workforce.

Basically, referrals are received from the state: these can be law enforcement agencies (the prosecutor's office), medical institutions, educational institutions that count on the interest of young graduate teachers, etc. Large enterprises can also pay for student education. The procedure for obtaining the opportunity to study at the expense of a state or other organization is different in each specific case, since general provisions are adjusted taking into account the profile of the chosen specialty and the rules of the educational institution.

By the way, the legislation on education allows targeted admission to education for those who graduated from school not in the current year, but earlier. For such citizens, in addition to the list required documents you need to provide data on work or study for the period from the moment of receiving secondary education to admission.

Institute of the Prosecutor's Office

In the last twenty years, the prosecutor's office has been actively using recruitment through targeted referrals. Replenishing the ranks of prosecutors is not so easy - you need to go through a series special tests and meet certain requirements that apply to civil servants. In addition, work in law enforcement agencies implies resistance to stress, dedication to one's work, high moral principles and excellent knowledge of the Russian language, history, etc. If you meet the listed criteria, you can get a referral to study at a university from the prosecutor's office.

To do this, you need to contact the prosecutor's office of the region or a specialized department (transport, environmental protection) and, within the period indicated on the official website (usually until June 20, 2016, in which it is planned to enter the institute), apply for a referral.

The following documents must be submitted with the application:

certificate (if it has not yet been received, then an extract on academic performance for the first half of the year);
his consent to work in the prosecutor's office;
autobiography, personal sheet on personnel records;
a copy of the passport (all completed pages are copied);
characteristics from the school or lyceum;
a copy of the military ID;
medical certificate (form 086).

Additionally, it is necessary to undergo psychological diagnostics (testing) for suitability for the profession.

After consideration, the documents are sent to the Main Directorate of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, where the number of places allocated for study is determined.

If there are enough places, a written referral is issued at the personnel department of the regional prosecutor's office.

Refusal to extradite can be a variety of circumstances. So, the presence of a criminal record of the candidate, as well as close relatives, will not allow him to become an employee of this department. Besides, psychological features nature, identified during testing, can also become an obstacle to employment.

When resolving the issue of targeted admission, the state of health of the future prosecutor's worker will be taken into account - there is a list that indicates the types of diseases that exclude the possibility of employment in state bodies (for example, serious illnesses nervous system, visual disability, cancer, etc.).

If you have passed the tests and everything is in order with your health, you will be given a referral, which is taught only at the Faculty of the Institute of the Prosecutor’s Office in full-time. This faculty is not available in all legal schools. There are several such universities in the country - in Saratov, Yekaterinburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg. Practice shows that the direction is given to the nearest university, as well as to its branches, which are in many cities.

Even with the cherished document on budgetary education in hand, no one canceled excellent knowledge upon admission:

The exam should be with high rates in history, Russian language and literature.
The average acceptance score is slightly lower than for regular applicants, but it must also be overcome. Otherwise, enrollment is out of the question, even if you are a “target”. Typically, the average score in the three disciplines for applicants on a targeted basis is 230.
If several applicants scored the same number of points, then the issue of enrollment is decided on the basis of additional information:
- the presence of a gold (silver) medal,
- diplomas,
- victories in olympiads, etc.

After graduation, the graduate, according to the contract, one of the copies of which is kept in the personnel department, is obliged to find a job in the prosecutor's office from where he was sent. In some cases, in agreement with the employer (represented by the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation), you can stay to work in another region. If it so happened that for some reason a graduate cannot become an employee of the prosecutor's office or has worked in a position for less than five years, he will be charged the cost of training in full.

Medical Universities

Targeted training of future doctors is regulated by the adopted resolutions federal level: the state is especially interested in qualified personnel in the medical field; large sums from the country's budget.

To issue targeted referrals to a medical university, a decision is required by a special commission of the municipal authority of the region. Careful monitoring of the labor market is carried out, conclusions are drawn about the lack of specialists of a certain category in numerical terms.

An applicant who wants to receive a targeted referral to study in a medical specialty must submit a certificate of completed secondary education to the municipal authority, as well as score the required number of "passing" points. In addition, targeted training can be trained only for those who receive higher free education for the first time.

It is important to know the period when applications for referrals are accepted - if you miss the deadline, new opportunity presented only next year. Information of this kind can be obtained from the website of the municipality or directly from the medical school. So, in 2016, the application could be submitted as early as March, the last possible deadline for filing was June 10.

In an educational institution, you can find out what documents you need to submit in order for the application to be accepted for consideration. Mainly:

an application for the issuance of a target direction - drawn up according to the approved form, the form can be obtained from the Ministry of Education, the municipality or the university;
a photocopy of a civil passport (sheets with the full name of the applicant and registration);
all kinds of diplomas, documents confirming participation in olympiads, competitions, etc.

After receiving applications, a list is formed from which the best students according to the results of the exam, they will be enrolled in the first year.

Become a teacher in the direction

How to get a targeted direction to a pedagogical university? Directly at the university, you can find out the list of those schools and lyceums with which contracts have been concluded. After that, you need to pass an interview with the director of the selected school, bring to his attention the desire to work in this particular institution. If your candidacy is approved, you will easily receive a referral.

Institutes and universities of the pedagogical profile are quite willing to accept for training those who will then be guaranteed to be employed in schools - after all, in this way the problem of a shortage of teachers is solved. They are especially loyal to those who wish to work as a teacher in remote areas, villages, towns. There are few such applicants, so it is not difficult for them to pass the competition.

In some universities of Moscow, places are specially created for the target recruitment of only graduates of the capital.

For example, in Moscow Pedagogical University more than 100 places are allocated for graduates of schools in the city of Moscow and the Moscow region. This institution has long been practicing training in the direction of the district education departments of Moscow, while the applicant can participate simultaneously in the general competition. After graduation, the young teacher will work in one of the schools of the district, from which he received a preferential opportunity for free education.

How to find an employer

Contact the university

To find the company that will pay for your studies, you need to contact the university directly, since there may be lists of those enterprises with which there are contractual relations for the target enrollment of students.

For example, one can become a “target target” for training at the Moscow University of Communications through Russian Railways, Moscow Metro.
RUDN University annually creates places for training future employees of Mosenergo, Gidrospetsproekt.

Contact the Ministry of Education

You can also apply through the school management or yourself to the municipality of the region, where you can find out from which employers applications for the conclusion of a targeted contract were received. Such information can be reported in the Ministry of Education of the region, as well as directly at the selected university. deal with the solution this issue needed from the winter, on the eve of the year of receipt.

You can also find a company yourself - it's no secret that large enterprises are also in dire need of specialists who are ready to pay for their studies.

What to do when an employer is found

If your application was answered and the issue was resolved positively, then you will need to bring a tripartite agreement to the selection committee of the selected educational institution, which will indicate the data of your future employer and the number of years during which you will be required to work. A careful reading of the contract will help to avoid unpleasant surprises in the form of strict conditions of payment or working off (for example, there were cases where the contract on the target direction from the enterprise indicated both 10 and 12 years of compulsory work).

In addition, you should carefully study the clauses of the agreement on the rights of the applicant:

will he be given social support(scholarship, medical care),
how it is proposed to resolve the issue of providing housing (whether a hostel will be provided).
Pay attention to the date of appearance after graduation - in practice, there were cases when, on the appointed date, a graduate, due to forgetfulness, did not appear at the organization for employment, which subsequently became the reason for a lawsuit on the recovery of expenses for his education.

The contract must also indicate valid reasons for the graduate's failure to fulfill the obligation to find employment: his disability or the disability of relatives (one of the parents, spouse, child), special circumstances(liquidation, bankruptcy of an enterprise, etc.).

SU-HSE Vice-Rector Grigory Kantorovich about the target enrollment in universities

One of the complaints about the admission campaigns of recent years is a significant number of target recipients and beneficiaries, because of which it is impossible to “break through” to budget places. In an interview with RIA Novosti, HSE Vice-Rector Grigory Kantorovich tells how the targeted recruitment to universities is going.

- Grigory Gelmutovich, in Soviet times, the target recruitment was quite common, but now? How many applicants do this? Who sends them where?

The Ministry of Education and Science “allocates” no more than 20% of the total number of budget places university. But surely there are violators of this requirement. In general, across the country, the target enrollment is much smaller.

State and local government bodies can send applicants to study at universities according to the target set. This is a pretty strong limitation. So, we at the HSE were approached with a request for a target recruitment from the Accounts Chamber. We refused - precisely on the grounds that the Accounts Chamber is not a body government controlled. We can accept for training, for example, by order of the government of the Russian Federation, State Duma, regional administrations.

The very norm of the target set is widely used by branch universities. For example, Moscow State University of Communications has always had a large target set.

- Is there a competition among target beneficiaries? How are they enrolled?

The mechanism is the following. First, let's say, the administration of the region applies to the university with an official proposal-request to allocate places for the target set. This appeal is considered by the Academic Council of the university. If he agrees to accept applicants, then an agreement is concluded, which indicates the number of places for the target recruitment per group of specialties.

By the beginning of the admission campaign, the organization must send a list of applicants for the target recruitment to the university. Moreover, there should be more of them than the number of budget places, so that a separate competition can be organized among them. According to the admission rules, it should be at least 1.2 people per seat. The norm, of course, is ridiculous, because according to the results of the Unified State Examination, it is now easy to understand who passes through this competition. In fact, the organization can pre-form a list of those who will be enrolled in the university.

- After graduation, are graduates obliged to work in the organization that sent them to study?

As a rule, in a request to a university, the organization writes that it needs specialists, guarantees them employment, and even obliges them to return to the region. But, as lawyers say, all this is “legally void.” We do not have serfdom - a person cannot be "secured" to a workplace. Under the Labor Code, this is easy to challenge.

Those who send applicants, I think, understand this, but they are unlikely to care. Over the years of training, the target audience will already change the composition of the administration, and who plans to recruit specialists for several years ahead?

- Does the university have a financial interest in enrolling targeted students? Or financial burden?

There is neither one nor the other. Under the target set, budget places are allocated.

There is another form when an organization sends a person to study on a commercial basis. There is no separate set. An applicant must score enough points to be enrolled in a paid department, after which a tripartite agreement is drawn up - between the applicant and his parents, the university and the organization that pays for the education.

- It is known that weak applicants enter the target set - otherwise they would have submitted documents on a general basis. But it turns out that the university may abandon the practice of targeted recruitment if it does not want to lower the bar for admission ...

Yes maybe. But only a leading university. The rest will only be glad that they are sent applicants. In the context of a demographic decline, educational institutions are not getting enough applicants even for state-funded places, so they take the weak ones as well. For many universities, the target enrollment is a guaranteed contingent of students.

At SU-HSE, the target enrollment is limited, and we do not plan to expand it. AT last years we work only at the request of the government of the Russian Federation, for which we allocate 40 state-funded places every year, although in reality the enrollment is even less ... And also with the Republic of Buryatia. There was a request from its head, Vyacheslav Nagovitsyn: we need personnel, we need to raise the region ... But only four people were sent to us from there.

- Is there any certainty that after graduating from the SU-HSE they will return to their home - or will they remain in Moscow?

They will return if they are offered a job and a good salary. Everyone understands that salaries are higher in Moscow, and life is more expensive.

It would seem that the target set is a good norm. In the West, a job guarantee is a strong trump card on the part of the employer, because finding a job is not so easy. But because of the difference in salaries in large cities and regions, this norm does not work in our country. Therefore, I personally see no reason to keep it.

target set- a vestige of the past. AT Soviet years, with mandatory distribution, this rule worked. Now, if you refuse it, I believe, nothing terrible will happen.

Its features, advantages, disadvantages.

When preparing for admission to a university, it is customary to consider different variants. One of them is admission within the framework of the so-called target set. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the applicant comes to the university not only with USE results, but also with the appropriate referral from any region or institution. At the same time, in case of successful completion of the competition, he is enrolled in the specialty he has chosen, studies there, and after graduation goes to work in the place from which he was sent.

Everything seems to be clear and understandable. However, the target recruitment system is much more complex than it might seem at first glance. It is fraught with a lot of nuances that would not hurt to know the future applicant. Let's stop only on some of them.

Take, for example, the fact that de facto there are two variants of the target set. One of them is carried out under agreements concluded with executive authorities. The other is under agreements with enterprises and organizations, as well as within the framework of state programs related to the development of the military-industrial complex. And although the second option is not formally considered a target, it is nevertheless equated to it and has become widespread.

Another feature of the target enrollment is that in sectoral universities, where the founder is the relevant ministry (department), the number of budget places allocated for it, as a rule, is greater than in universities directly subordinate to the Ministry of Education and Science. Moreover, in practice, it often exceeds the established standards, according to which the share of target recipients cannot be more than 15% of the target admission figures. And this state of affairs is considered quite acceptable, if, of course, the size of the target set is previously agreed with the founder.

Future target users should also take into account the fact that agreements between universities and customers (executive authorities, departments, enterprises, organizations) are usually concluded in April - May, because it is by this time that all issues with funding, lists of applicants and the number of places allocated to them for training are settled.

Another intriguing moment. It concerns the possibility of refusing to provide targeted places. Such cases are common. The university is not rubber and it is not obliged to satisfy the interests of all who turned to it with a request. Here, the historically established practice of interaction between the university and those structures that previously cooperated with it and with which contracts have already been concluded for the training of future specialists is very important.

It is also important to know the fact that cooperation with the university is carried out not in general, but in quite specific areas of training. That is, for example, one customer is interested in training specialists in computer security, and another in security automated systems. That is why the future target audience needs to have an idea not only about the university's partners in the target set, but also about the specifics of their requests addressed to the university.

At the same time, one should also take into account the fact that the needs for targeted specialists can be formed in two ways - either descend by subordination from above, or be formed from below, in accordance with the needs of specific enterprises and organizations. A striking example the first case - medical universities, where the main parameters of the target set are set by the Ministry of Health. The second one is more characteristic of technical universities that have close ties with partner enterprises, which are employers in the future.

Why is the target set interesting for everyone? If we take universities, then its benefits are quite obvious - the target enrollment is actually a guaranteed filling of state-funded places, regardless of the demographic situation or any other unpleasant circumstances. At the same time, for the most popular universities that do not experience problems with applicants, this issue is less relevant than the others, which is why the number of places allocated to target students is incomparably less than in others.

Applicants themselves are no less interested in the target recruitment. It is understandable - the target direction allows you to close many questions at once. Firstly, its presence significantly facilitates the admission process itself, because this group entrants goes a separate competition, which is significantly lower than usual, and is credited in the first place. Secondly, the target area allows you not to think too much about employment after graduation, because the future place of work has already been initially determined. It is also important that target students often have certain advantages over other students. In particular, we can talk about first-priority accommodation in a hostel, which is especially important for students from other cities, or additional scholarships at the expense of future employers.

There is a target set and the reverse side of the coin. We are talking about the obligations that are imposed on graduates. The main one is the almost complete lack of choice of a job after graduation. According to the established procedure, the target is obliged to find a job in the organization that sent him to study, and work there for at least 3 years. In case of non-compliance with this norm, the employer has the right to apply to the court and through it to recover training costs from the violator.

If all this does not bother you - good luck. The target set is not such an unsolvable problem as it might seem at first glance.
