Ranking of universities complete list. Monitoring the quality of university admissions. The best ranking universities in Russia

Main conclusions of the monitoring

There are more strong ones: 36% of universities enrolled the majority of excellent students, only 13% - mostly "three" students.

Of the 21 universities in the 5-100 group, 18 enrolled the most honors students.

Every sixth university in Russia has at least one direction in which it has attracted the strongest applicants in the country.

The leading universities of the country are leaders in the quality of admission to budget places enrolled and the most powerful "payers". The reputation effect has worked.

The average score of students from leading technical universities has risen to a record high.
The first positive shifts have been noted in agricultural universities.

The leading regions in terms of the quality of reception by a wide margin from the rest are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tomsk.

The population is ready to pay for quality: an average 16% increase in the price of education did not affect either the demand for paid education or the quality of paid students.

Applicants began to more rationally assess the prospects in the labor market: the paid admission to “Healthcare” and “Informatics and computer technology”, decreased by “Economics” and “Management”.

Distribution of universities by quality of admission

The general conclusion of the study is that positive changes in the quality of work and reputation are consolidated in 2017 Russian universities. The number of universities that enrolled more than half of the “excellent” applicants with USE scores above 70 for one year of study at state-funded places has reached 151, an increase of 16 universities. Today it is 36.2% of Russian universities, compared with 31.7% a year ago. Such well-known technical universities like Moscow aviation institute(National research university) credited to the budget 2648 people. with an average score of 72.8, National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute" (1461 people, average score 71.9), Moscow University of Technology(2388 people, average score 71.5), Kazan National Research Technical University them. A.N. Tupolev (1012 people, average score 71.4). At the same time, the number of universities that enrolled “C” students with scores below 56 for the first year decreased by 12.

Leaders-2017

The composition of the top 10 universities in terms of the quality of budgetary admission has not changed since last year, however, there have been changes in the placement of places in it.

The “five” leaders in terms of the quality of budget admission in 2017 (among universities with a budget enrollment of more than 300 people) included MGIMO (95.6), Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (94.1), NRU HSE - Moscow (93.9), St. Petersburg State University ( 90.7), ITMO University (90.3), pushing aside Moscow State University. Lomonosov. This year, all top 5 universities showed results of 90+, last year there were only 3 such universities.

Another aspect of leadership is the best results in the areas of training. In general, approximately every sixth university has at least one direction, in which - among all the universities offering education in this direction in the Russian Federation - it attracted the strongest applicants and thus ranked 1-3rd in terms of the average score enrolled in this direction. place. Such universities, which are leaders at the national level in at least one of their areas of study, are located in 21 regions: 24 universities in Moscow, 15 in St. Petersburg, 3 universities in Kazan, 2 universities each in Tomsk, Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk. One university with at least one strong field of study in the following regions: Belgorod Region, Voronezh Region, Irkutsk Region, Kaliningrad Region, Krasnodar Territory, Murmansk Region, Orenburg Region, Penza Region, Primorsky Territory, Republic of Bashkortostan, Republic of Dagestan, Sverdlovsk Region, Tambov region, Tula region, Ulyanovsk region.

Of course, there are universities that have attracted the strongest applicants in the country to several areas of training at once - or to all of their areas. According to the results of admission in 2017, three universities demonstrate such 100% leadership: MGIMO, MIPT and NRU HSE-Moscow - in absolutely all areas of training in which they recruited, they took 1-3 places in terms of the average score credited to the budget among all universities offering training in these areas. At ITMO University, 80% of such areas, at St. Petersburg State University - 76%, at Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov - 55% (for details, see the table in the Appendix).

Paid reception

This year, the prices of paid education have increased significantly - by an average of 16%. At the same time, the number of students enrolled in paid places has not decreased, the quality has also remained at the same level. This indicates that the population has a significant potential for solvent demand for higher education. The fact that the average score of paid admission at 22 universities in Russia exceeds 70, and at 46 more - ranges from 65 to 70 - demonstrates that the majority of applicants consciously choose paid education at a priority university and in their priority direction in order to enter budgetary place in another university.

Significantly increased paid admission to medical universities and the direction of "Jurisprudence" and "Informatics and Computer Engineering". Decreased - in the direction of "Economics" and "Management". Almost doubled paid admission to the country's leading pedagogical university MSGU. This shows that the population has become more rational in assessing the prospects for various professions in the labor market.

The composition of universities with the best paid admission, as well as last year, completely coincides with the composition of universities with the best budget admission:

  • Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (83.6 points, 133 people)
  • Moscow State Institute of International Relations (82.1 points, 752 people)
  • National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow (80.6 points, 3795 people)
  • St. Petersburg State University (79.6 points, 1114 people)
  • National Research University Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg (78 points, 805 people)
  • ITMO University (76 points, 420 people)

A group of universities stands out with a very large paid admission. Approximately every second university in this group experienced a significant increase in such enrollment. Among the 10 largest providers of paid education that have enrolled more than 2,000 people in the parent university, only the leader, NRU HSE-Moscow, has a high quality of admission of 80+. Among the other universities of the group, there is not a single one with a quality of 70+. The second result - 68.6 points - has the Russian University of Economics. G.V. Plekhanov, Moscow. Third - St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University. Peter the Great who enrolled 1730 people. with an average score of 68.1.

Background

In 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to create a national ranking of universities. Its task is to show the society and the universities themselves the state of affairs in the university in each direction of its activity.

On November 2, 2016, Viktor Sadovnichy announced the launch of the Moscow International University Ranking "Three Missions of the University".

The founders of the project are the Russian Union of Rectors and the Association of Rating Compilers became the operator, among the founders of which are the research center " Expert RA", VTsIOM and other organizations.

Rating agency "Expert RA"- Russian credit rating agency. Engaged in the assignment of ratings, as well as research and communication activities.

All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, VCIOM(until 1992 - All-Union) - the oldest Russian research organization that regularly conducts sociological and marketing research based on public opinion polls. One of the largest Russian companies in this market. Created in 1987. 100% of the company's shares belong to the state.

Universities in the ranking are evaluated according to 35 indicators, reflecting the three main missions of the university in the modern world:

  • "education",
  • "the science",
  • "university and society".

Moreover, unlike the three currently recognized global world rankings of universities ( THE, QS, ARWU), the largest weight - about 40% - in the new international ranking will be taken by the assessment of the educational mission of higher education institutions.

35 indicators are combined into five groups, each of which has a certain weight in the final assessment:

  • "education" (40%),
  • "science" (30%),
  • "internationalization",
  • "sustainability and development potential",
  • "distance education" - 10% each.

Project 5-100- a state program to support the largest Russian universities. Launched by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia in accordance with the decree of Vladimir Putin dated May 7, 2012 "On measures to implement state policy in the field of education and science."

The goal of the project is to increase the prestige of Russian higher education and bring at least five universities from among the project participants into the top 100 universities of three authoritative world rankings: Quacquarelli Symonds, Times Higher Education and Academic Ranking of World Universities.
