Can applicants scoring below 56.7 enroll under a super-contract?
In the 2026/2027 academic year, applicants scoring less than 56.7 will not be recommended for admission to state higher education institutions. The minimum passing score is a mandatory requirement for enrollment.

In the 2026/2027 academic year, applicants who achieve a score below 56.7 will not be recommended for admission to the bachelor's program at state universities. The minimum passing score is the lowest requirement that must be met for an applicant to be considered under a standard paid contract or a state grant quota. ## Admission with Available Quotas Even if there are available spots in the quota, an applicant who does not meet the established minimum score will not be admitted.

If a contract position for a specific field remains vacant, the applicant who did not gather the minimum required score will not be accepted. ## Key Details and Important Information For instance: 56.7 points — minimum requirement met; 56.6 points — below the minimum threshold; 50 points — below the minimum threshold. ## Guarantee of Admission However, even achieving a score of 56.7 does not guarantee admission to a university. ## Quota for Selected Major The applicant must fall within the quota for their chosen major. ## Possibility of Admission via Super-Contract ## Process and Consequences Applicants who score below the minimum threshold will also not be admitted to a state university under a differentiated paid contract, known as a super-contract. ## Existing Regulations According to current regulations, the opportunity for a super-contract is granted to applicants who score no less than the minimum set by the State Commission but failed to qualify for the main or additional admissions. ## Circumventing Minimum Score Requirement Thus, the super-contract does not serve as a means to bypass the minimum score requirement. ## Options for Applicants with Low Scores ## Process and Consequences Applicants may consider the following options: prepare thoroughly for the next admission cycle and retake the test; explore the admission conditions of licensed private higher education institutions; check available opportunities in vocational education institutions — colleges and technical schools; enroll in short-term vocational training or certification programs.

Admission to a private university is also not automatic.

Each private higher education institution may have its own requirements regarding exams, interviews, contracts, and documentation.
