Dear applicants!

Targeted training in the interests of the Moscow Region (Departments of Education, administrations of municipalities, institutions of the educational system, etc.) is guaranteed career opportunities and solving significant problems for the region.

Admission to targeted training is carried out in the presence of a contract on targeted training concluded between the applicant and the customer of targeted training, in accordance with the regulation on targeted training and the standard form of the contract on targeted training established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

In the long term, this is guaranteed employment in an interesting job with a stable salary and a guaranteed social package.

For targeted training, a separate quota is allocated for each area of ​​training (specialty). The number of places for admission to study within the target quota is posted on the website of the Admissions Committee no later than June 1, 2019.

Practice has shown that few students understand what constitutes targeted admission at universities. Hence the problem: people do not fully understand who, how and where can use it?

Let's figure out together what constitutes a targeted direction to a university, what are the admission rules and where you can use this service.

There are target places in almost every university. And at the largest universities, the competition for these places is huge.

What is Targeted Learning: Advantages and Disadvantages

Before looking for how and where to teach a target area (in Moscow or other large cities), you need to figure out if you have the right to do so.

Target admission is admission to a university on a budgetary basis in the direction of a state enterprise or department.

If you are going to enter the university in the direction from the enterprise, it is worth thinking a few times. After all, this imposes obligations on the future student to work at this enterprise for the period specified in the contract.

If you receive a targeted referral to universities in Moscow or other cities from government agencies, then you will have to work out according to the state distribution system.

Despite such difficult and seemingly burdensome conditions, there are advantages in the target direction:

  • free education;
  • guaranteed employment after graduation;
  • lower competition for those who enter the target area;
  • the period of enrollment of "targeted recipients" passes before the main competition. This means that if you fail to enter, you can participate in the competition along with the rest on general terms;
  • an extended social package (scholarship, dormitory, travel expenses and further by agreement), because, as a rule, the future employer provides the “target” student;
  • often - all possible assistance in collecting the necessary material (for example, when writing a term paper, diploma) from the employer.

But there is only one lack of targeted directions to the university in 2018 and 2019, but which one: mandatory work for a certain period of time with a future employer . And there is almost no way to get away from this, even if during your studies you suddenly realized that you made a mistake with the direction and do not want to continue studying in the chosen course at all.

If you decide to go against the system, you will have to reimburse those who gave you the target referral for the funds spent on your education. It often happens that not only the cost of education has to be reimbursed, but also the very additional social package, and sometimes even moral damage. So the total amount can be increased by 2-3 times.


There are organizations that provide their employees with a more convenient work schedule during their studies.

Where can I get a targeted referral to a university / institute

How to find such a “sweet” organization that will be ready to take all the expenses on itself, and then it would not be so difficult for you to work out? You will be interested to know that in 2018, not only organizations, but also universities (often in Moscow) provide targeted directions. It remains only to find out which ones.

So, here are a few nuances that it will be useful for you to know:

  • find out with which organizations / enterprises there is an agreement on targeted admission at the university where you are going to enter. Usually such information is contained on the website of the university. For example, MAI, MSTU im. N.E. Bauman, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology;
  • find out if the appropriate government agency in your area can give you a referral to the university of interest (for example, if you are going to a medical school, ask for a referral from the Department of Health in your region);
  • if you do not know how to find a future employer, seek advice from local authorities (city administration). Often they have free access to information about which organizations applied for the selected university in order to conclude a target agreement;
  • consider whether you can get a targeted referral directly from the organization that interests you as a future employer. It is enough to “scrub” the leading companies and, during a personal visit, find out if they want to get an excellent young specialist, having now provided a targeted direction;
MIIT has an agreement on targeted cooperation with the Moscow Metro and Russian Railways, after RUDN, the target workers go to Gidrospetsproekt and Mosenergo. And by the way, Gazprom also cooperates with many top universities.

How to take a target direction to a university: step by step instructions

When should this be done? The earlier the better. Try to start collecting the necessary information at least six months before graduation.

And here is an approximate algorithm of actions:

  1. Choose a direction that interests you.
  2. Look for an organization that will pay for your education (unless, of course, you are). It can be either a company or a government agency.
  3. Collect a package of necessary documents.
  4. Conclude a target agreement with a future employer (do not forget to discuss additional "goodies" in the form of a travel card, medical insurance, hostel, etc.).
  5. Take the documents for submission to the university, attach a copy of the target agreement to them.
One student can receive only one targeted direction to the university. Not surprisingly, many employers have a competitive system for those who apply to them with such a request. Therefore, they will look at both the certificate and personal achievements, and they will also conduct an interview.
If you won prizes at the Olympiads, this will be a big plus for the company.

Track the date of submission of documents for receiving the target referral. It is important to apply on time.

Documents for obtaining a target referral

To conclude the contract, have time to collect the following documents:

  • if you are a student, you will need an academic record for the first 6 months of your graduation class with the seal of the school principal;
  • if you graduated from high school last year or earlier, attach a high school diploma;
  • if you are applying for a place at a university after college / technical school, attach a diploma of secondary specialized education;
  • photocopies of the passport;
  • reference from the place of study (upon request);
  • evidence of personal achievements (medals, certificates, diplomas, etc.).

In general, the essence of targeted training is clear: free education with subsequent work in an organization under a contract.

Many are afraid of distribution. But we urge you not to panic. Firstly, wisely approach the choice of such an organization. If the company is solid and directly related to the industry you have chosen, then you will not only get the opportunity to study for free, but also will not waste your energy (like many of your fellow students) on finding a job immediately after receiving a diploma.

Secondly, you need to understand that the first couple of years after graduation, a graduate works for experience and image. He a priori can not get much from the start. And working out the target area will be an excellent base for your future work experience.

In the meantime, the rest are frantically looking for how to avoid this very distribution, feel free to work it out. Any difficulty on your way will make you stronger. And if you prove yourself well, you can move up the career ladder.

However, the main thing is to graduate from the university in such a way that then they would take at least for working out. But do not worry about this, because there will always be a reliable one nearby who will not give offense to control, tests and exams!
