Threshold UNT scores for admission to universities of Kazakhstan have been published

The National Testing Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan has published UNT threshold scores for admission to domestic universities for the 2023-2024 academic year. The information is posted on the official website and on the department's social networks.

It is worth noting that the threshold points set by the Ministry have not changed this year. For admission to the areas of "Law" and "Pedagogical Sciences", it is necessary to score at least 75 points, "Health and social security (medicine)" – at least 70 points, "Agriculture and bioresources", "Veterinary Medicine" − at least 60 points; for admission to national universities – at least 65 points, to other universities – at least 50 points. And for each subject you need to score at least 5 points.

In addition, since 2019, within the framework of academic freedom, universities have the right to set their own UNT threshold scores for admission to training both on a paid basis and on a grant.

For the sake of convenience for applicants, the NCT annually publishes the threshold scores of all universities in the country in the general list. This data is also available on the websites of the educational institutions themselves.

"Suppose a graduate wants to become a math teacher. He wants to apply for a grant competition or for a paid ENU department with 80 points scored at the UNT. As you know, the threshold score for "Pedagogical Sciences" is at least 75 points, and for national universities – at least 65 points. It seems that the score scored is enough for admission. However, he learns that the UNT threshold score for this specialty at this university starts with 90 points. Therefore, he needs to look for another university where the threshold scores are below 80. Therefore, before applying for training, applicants should know the threshold scores of universities," said Ruslan Emelbayev, Director of the NCT.

Also, it should be emphasized that the list of universities where the state educational order for the 2023-2024 academic year will be placed will be published later.
