Kyrgyzstan's universities have initiated the sixth round of their admissions campaign, extending the opportunity for prospective students to enroll. The Ministry of Science, Higher Education, and Innovation announced that the registration for electronic vouchers will take place from August 17 to August 19, concluding at 2:00 PM.
Initially, the admissions process was planned to conclude after five rounds. During these initial rounds, a total of 78,400 electronic vouchers were submitted by applicants. Universities recommended 53,200 of these applicants for enrollment. Approximately 40,000 applicants confirmed their intention to study, while 4,100 withdrew their applications.
Despite the extended admission rounds, the enrollment figures indicate a shortfall. According to the "Abiturient Online" portal, 34,700 students have been enrolled in universities so far. This number falls significantly short of the planned enrollment target of 64,700 students for the academic year.
The sixth round of admissions is also being permitted for colleges, offering further opportunities for students seeking vocational or specialized training.
