During a visit to the Siberian Federal University (SFU), Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko discussed the progress of the admissions campaign at SFU and other Russian universities. The event took place as part of the Deputy Prime Minister’s working visit to Krasnoyarsk Krai.
To ensure continuous monitoring and control of the admissions campaign, a dashboard has been deployed on the platform of the Coordination Center of the Government of the Russian Federation. It can be used to track the progress of the admissions campaign in each subject, educational organization, including in individual areas of training and specialties. The panel allows you to identify deviations in the processing of applicants’ applications and promptly respond to them.
“The admissions campaign is an important and responsible period not only for applicants, but for the entire country. The achievement of technological leadership, a national goal set by President Vladimir Putin, depends on the choice of applicants and the quality of their preparation. In total, almost 620 thousand budget places are available for higher education programs this academic year. About 540 thousand applicants have already submitted almost 4 million applications within the framework of competitive groups, of which more than 3 million – through the super service “Online University Admission”, – said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
About 73% of the total number of budget places are allocated to regional universities.
Among the most popular areas are computer science and computing, education and pedagogical sciences, and clinical medicine.
In Krasnoyarsk Krai, applicants have already submitted almost 70 thousand applications to universities within the framework of competitive groups, including more than 61.2 thousand using the super service “Online University Admission”.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted the active participation of the Siberian Federal University in government support measures, including those implemented under the national project “Youth and Children”.
Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov noted that SFU is one of the leading universities in Russia: “Siberian Federal University is developing quite dynamically today. The university is of interest to applicants not only from Krasnoyarsk Krai, but also from neighboring regions. Quite a lot of foreigners come. We carefully preserve the legacy of the Universiade, all the facilities are working, all the facilities are involved. Moreover, we are already forming the next development plans.”
Currently, SFU has about 27 thousand students, 83.4% of whom are full-time students. For the 2025/2026 academic year, Siberian Federal University has allocated more than 5.5 thousand budget places for higher education programs. As part of the current admissions campaign at SFU, applicants have already submitted over 30 thousand applications within competitive groups, including almost 25.5 thousand using the super service “Online University Admission”. Among the most popular areas of training among applicants are computer science and computer engineering; applied geology, mining, oil and gas engineering and geodesy; education and pedagogical sciences; mechanical engineering.
The event was also attended by the Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Dmitry Afanasyev, and Acting Rector of the Siberian Federal University Maxim Rumyantsev.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also assessed the infrastructure of SFU, in particular the classrooms and the urban farming laboratory of the Institute of Gastronomy. This is one of 20 educational institutes that are part of the university structure; it was founded as a joint project of the Siberian Federal University and the Krasnoyarsk restaurant group. The Institute of Gastronomy trains specialists in the restaurant business and hospitality industry.
