    Hello! And if such a situation arises with our classmate: he probably goes to the first wave at the Moscow Aviation Institute and gives consent. Enrollment takes place on August 3. Then he finds out that he is entering the second wave at a higher priority university. Can he pick up his diploma on August 6 and give it to another university? Will he have time to do this on August 6 before 18.00?

    Hello!
    You will be able to pick it up in time if you arrive during the opening hours of the admissions office. Whether we will have time to transfer to another university is not up to us.

    30.07.17 Tatiana-> Sergey Krylov

    Hello! We applied for “applied mechanics” with 199 points. Please tell me:
    1. What are the chances of getting a hostel?
    2. Could there be a shortage in the first wave if at the moment 12 consents have been submitted for enrollment in 32 places? What was the situation in 2016?
    3. We plan to bring consent to the second wave. Will we have a chance to pass, because, probably, those who did not pass to Baumanka will come running to the second wave and the passing score may increase?
    Thank you.

    Hello!
    1. It is better to find out about this directly from the admissions committee of the mega-destination.
    2. Theoretically, of course it can. 1st wave points 2016 http://mai.ru/priem/bachelor/exams/pastyears.php
    3. Any scenario is possible, but if you need a hostel, then, most likely, by the second wave there will simply be no space there. Why hold places for applicants for whom we are not a priority.

    30.07.17 Tatiana-> Sergey Krylov

    2. Sergey,
    Thank you very much for your competent answer to my 4 previous questions.
    Please also clarify:
    1. When submitting original documents and consent to enroll in a budget competition, is it possible to simultaneously submit copies of documents for the competition with tuition fees?
    2. Is it possible to apply for paid training only for those specialties that were previously selected according to the budget?

    29.07.17 Nikolay-> Sergey Krylov

    Hello, with 218 points can I get a bachelor's degree in aviation engineering? and what to do if in the ranked lists you were indicated in the column “consent to enrollment without a dormitory” I do not agree, although the admissions committee indicated that I agree

    Hello!
    Contact the admissions office of your mega-direction.

    28.07.17 Alexander-> Sergey Krylov

    Hello! When I submitted documents to the admissions committee, they misunderstood me and noted that I agreed to be admitted without a dormitory. But I need a hostel. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hello!
    Contact the admissions office of your mega-direction, unless, of course, you are a resident of Moscow or the near Moscow region.

    28.07.17 Semyon Kubyshkin-> Sergey Krylov

    Sergey Sergeevich, good afternoon! Tell me, will it be clear before the order is issued whether the applicant will be provided with a hostel? Or a situation may arise that you pass based on points, bring the originals and consent, and then on August 3 it turns out that you didn’t pass, because... Did you check the box "I do not agree to enroll without a hostel"? Thank you.

    If the score is close to the pass mark for the hostel, then such a situation may arise. Everything will become clear on August 1st after 18-00. It’s better to check the situation with the admissions committee of your mega-direction.

    28.07.17 Lily-> Sergey Krylov

    If you take away the original certificate and withdraw your consent to enrollment, can you then resubmit the original certificate and agree to enrollment (for example, to participate in the second wave)?

    If you pick up the original and withdraw your consent to enrollment before the end of the deadline for submitting originals for the 1st wave, then yes.

    28.07.17 Valery-> Sergey Krylov

    Dear Sergey,
    Please answer my questions regarding admission to MAI:
    1. When submitting original documents after July 27, is it possible to change the priority specialty from the 3 previously selected?
    2. If, based on the results of the 1st or 2nd stage of the budget competition, you understand that there are not enough points, for budget admission, is it possible to re-issue the application from a budget to a paid one?
    3. How is the competition for paid enrollment carried out - also in stages, or after the deadline for submitting applications is the overall result summed up for the entire list? Are Unified State Exam points taken into account in the same way as in the budget competition?
    4. Is the hostel provided to students on a paid basis?

    Higher education provides an opportunity to get a decent job. This is explained to schoolchildren long before the time comes for them to decide how their future life should develop. Therefore, many applicants are extremely responsible about where to continue their studies. Such future students carefully research information about their future university. This article is intended to make this process somewhat easier. It will describe the Moscow Aviation Institute (departments, faculties, admission conditions). This information will allow you to make an informed decision: is it worth choosing the educational institution in question?

    About the university

    Over the years of its existence, MAI has grown from a small aeromechanical school to one of the largest national research universities. Today, 1,800 experienced, competent teachers teach more than 20,000 future specialists at 12 faculties in 42 areas of training. Graduates of the institute in question are extremely in demand. Thus, employment for students is guaranteed.

    Positive reviews

    Is it worth going to MAI? Reviews and people's opinions vary. Often in the most dramatic way. However, the majority of responses are positive. Students and graduates talk about competent, experienced teachers and high-quality knowledge received at the university. Many share that they were able to get a good job after completing their studies. Most graduates do not regret the years they spent at this institute.

    Negative reviews

    However, not everyone speaks with such tenderness and gratitude about studying at MAI. Some claim that many teachers do not provide knowledge properly. Such students talk about constant tardiness of professors, lack of meaningful classes, problems with the admissions committee, and lack of up-to-date educational materials.

    It is not easy to choose which responses to believe. Most likely, they all partly have a certain basis. As a rule, it all depends on the specific people with whom you will have to collaborate. Conscientious teachers will provide quality knowledge, others will waste your time.

    passing score

    Applicants must take into account many nuances. So, what else is important to know for those who are planning to enter MAI on their own this year? Reviews recommend paying attention to what passing scores the educational institution has set for the Unified State Examination results. They are relevant both for those who plan to enroll in a budget-funded place, and for those who have chosen the option of paid education.

    Thus, the minimum score in computer science (or information and communication technologies), as well as in social studies, is 50, in Russian - 48, in mathematics - 39, in physics, foreign language, history and geography - 40.

    Reviews recommend that every applicant be sure to take these requirements into account when applying to MAI. This will help you objectively assess your chances.

    Areas of training

    Before choosing a specialty for which you will apply to the Moscow Aviation Institute, reviews recommend that you familiarize yourself with the list of exams required to pass.

    So, there are several blocks of subjects, test results for which should be provided upon admission. First block: Russian language, physics, mathematics. These disciplines are relevant for the following areas of study: applied mathematics and computer science, fundamental computer science and information technology, physics, computer science and information systems and technologies, radio engineering, instrument engineering, biotechnical systems and technologies, laser technology and laser technologies, electrical power engineering and electrical engineering, applied mechanics, automation of technological processes and production, technosphere safety, metallurgy, standardization and metrology, motion control systems and navigation, missile systems and astronautics, aircraft engines, aircraft construction, control of technical systems, innovation, nanotechnology and microsystem technology.

    The second block of disciplines: mathematics, history, Russian language. It is relevant for those who plan to study as a linguist.

    Third block: Russian language, computer science and These exams will have to be passed by those who intend to enroll in the following areas of training: applied mathematics, applied computer science, software engineering, information security, information technology and communication systems, design and technology of electronic means, quality management, system analysis and management.

    Mathematics, Russian language and geography will have to be taken by those who want to study ecology and environmental management.

    In turn, social studies, Russian language and mathematics will be needed for those who want to continue their studies in the following specialties: economics, personnel management, management, business informatics, advertising and public relations, organization of work with youth, service.

    This information will help you reconsider your plans and evaluate your options.

    Faculties

    The main thing you need to decide on in advance is this. To do this, it is important to carefully study the list of available faculties at a given institute. These include the following:

    • "Radiovtuz".
    • "Aviation technology".
    • "Foreign languages".
    • "Aircraft engines".
    • "Aerospace".
    • "Applied mathematics and physics".
    • "Radio electronics of aircraft".
    • "Applied mechanics".
    • "Control systems, computer science and electrical power engineering."
    • "Social Engineering".
    • "Robotics and intelligent systems."
    • "Pre-university preparation".

    The Moscow Military Aviation Institute is also quite popular among applicants. It is important to carefully familiarize yourself with all the features of the chosen specialty before submitting documents. This will facilitate the process of adaptation to new conditions during training.

    Special rights and benefits for applicants

    Some applicants have the right to enter the Moscow Aviation Institute without any entrance exams. Student reviews report that this happens quite often. Among these applicants:

    • Those who participated in the All-Russian Olympiad or won it.
    • Those who participated in the All-Ukrainian Olympiad or won it.

    Others can study at the expense of budget funds within a certain quota. Disabled people can take advantage of this opportunity; orphans; those who were left without parental care; combat veterans.

    The higher education institution in question may change some conditions at its discretion. Therefore, it is recommended to check regularly for current requirements.

    How are individual achievements taken into account?

    As reviews from 2016 report about MAI, when applying for training, they can declare their special achievements, which will certainly be taken into account when enrolling. Points are awarded for significant results (from 1 to 10).

    The following individual achievements play a role:

    • Sports victories (world champion, European champion, medalist or champion of the Olympic, Deaflympic and Paralympic games).
    • Certificate of secondary general education (with honors or with the condition of receiving a silver or gold medal).
    • Status of laureate, prize-winner, winner of Olympiads corresponding to the chosen specialty).
    • Diploma of higher education (with honors).
    • Diploma of secondary vocational education (with honors).

      A maximum of 10 points can be awarded.

    Admission of foreigners

    Can foreign citizens become MAI students? Student feedback shows that they can. However, this group of applicants has its own special admission conditions.

    For example, such citizens can study at the Moscow Aviation Institute (reviews about the training of foreigners confirm this fact) both through financial support from the budget and through funding, the source of which is any legal entity or individual. In the second case, as is usually the case, a contract for the provision of services is concluded.

    In the higher educational institution in question, there is a strictly defined quota for the education of foreigners, which is established in accordance with current legislation. It may vary depending on the chosen specialty, as well as over time. Otherwise, foreign applicants are treated in the same way as Russian ones.

    Such applicants are not required to take a Russian language exam for admission. For neither, the list of mandatory examination disciplines is adjusted in a certain way.

    There is a certain quota of foreign citizens who can study in those specialties whose educational programs involve the disclosure of information that relates to state secrets. This mechanism is governed by relevant law.

    The need for a medical examination

    A number of specialties require the provision of some additional documents. We are talking about results in accordance with the requirements based on the current legislation of the Russian Federation. This condition applies to the following specialties:

    • "Radio-electronic systems and complexes."
    • "Testing of aircraft".
    • "Electrical power engineering and electrical engineering".

    Take this into account if you plan to enroll in one of these specialties at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Feedback from students confirms that knowledge of this kind of features greatly facilitates the process. Parents of applicants are encouraged to monitor how their child prepares the necessary documents.

    Features of document acceptance

    What do you need to prepare before entering MAI? Reviews recommend studying this point in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises during the document submission process. So what do you need to know?

    Along with the application for admission to this higher education institution, you must provide:

    • Any document that allows you to identify the applicant.
    • Two photographs (black and white) four by six centimeters in size.
    • Original document confirming previous education (a photocopy would also be appropriate).
    • If an applicant has any special rights upon admission, additional documents confirming this fact must be provided.

    If a potential student considers it necessary to present something else to the admissions committee, he has the right to do so.

    Conclusion

    The Moscow Aviation Institute is an educational institution that has provided many thousands of students with high-quality knowledge and the opportunity to get a well-paid, prestigious job.

    Be extremely careful when choosing a university and specialty. This choice will have a significant impact on the rest of your life. Take it seriously. And then the coming years of study will bring you only the most positive emotions.
