Olympiad winners will be blocked from entering universities without exams The Ministry of Education and Science is planning to change the admission rules for school students who achieved high achievements in the Olympics. As Kommersant writes, citing the head of the department, Valery Falkov, they want to leave the right to enter without entrance tests only to the winners. Winners will instead receive 100 points on the Unified State Exam Profile. At the same time, benefits will only be taken into account based on Olympiad results for grades 10-11. The number of Olympiads that grant admission benefits has already been reduced from 83 to 60. Also, the department intends to examine the distribution of paid places in universities.
