Nearly 80% of university applicants submitted their applications through Gosuslugi.

      Russian universities have finished publishing most of the orders on enrollment to bachelor's, specialist and basic higher education programs. According to the Ministry of Digital Development, 79% of all applicants (more than 1.1 million people) used the Gosuslugi portal for this.

In total, more than 3.3 million applications were processed on Gosuslugi, about 650 thousand consents to enrollment were sent, and more than 400 thousand admission notifications were issued.

      Traditionally, the most in-demand field for state-funded places via Gosuslugi was information technology. Other popular groups of specialties included economics and management, education and pedagogical sciences, mechanical engineering, and clinical medicine.

      As for modes of study, 74.7% of applicants chose full-time, 16.3% chose part-time, and 9% chose combined full- and part-time study.
