Russia keeps EGE minimum scores unchanged for 2027/2028 university admissions

Russia's proposal to maintain unchanged EGE minimum scores affects university admission eligibility for all applicants to state-sector universities in 2027/2028, establishing predictable academic entry thresholds across ten subjects. The decision occurs alongside separate policy shifts: increased state-funded places for competition olympiad winners and a reduction in university olympiads offering admission advantages (from 83 in 2026 to a lower number in 2027), signaling potential rebalancing of merit-based admission pathways. These changes directly impact student qualification standards, placement competition, and institutional capacity allocation during the admissions cycle beginning June 1, 2027.
