Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A press conference was held at the Agency for Information and Mass Communications on the results of tests submitted for admission to the undergraduate programs of higher educational institutions, the expected results and plans for the State Testing Center for the future.
During the conference, the Director of the State Testing Center, Majid Karimov, and the head of the department, Barno Rajabov, answered numerous questions from journalists.
It was announced that this year, testing for admission to universities will begin from July 29. This year, 1,666,325 applicants were registered and entered into the database. 66 rooms were prepared for testing, the capacity of the largest hall is 1,710 seats. Of all the facilities planned for testing, only three are not used: in Karakalpakstan, Bukhara and Tashkent. This is due to the fact that the total number of applicants turned out to be less than expected.
All rooms are equipped with the necessary number of tables, chairs, informational materials and are technically equipped.
Every day, examinations in the republic will be given in two shifts, in each of which 1,189 groups of applicants will be formed.
In cooperation with the Ministry for the Development of Information Technologies and Communications and the Ministry of the Interior, more than 1,175 video cameras and 120 special mobile devices were installed, so that applicants could not use mobile phones during tests. For security purposes, the premises with the largest number of applicants at the entrances have a metal detector frame and equipment for fingerprint identification. Also, to avoid unforeseen failures with electricity, spare power sources are connected.
For parents there are special waiting areas with the necessary infrastructure, in which special monitors are installed to track exams online, which makes this procedure as transparent as possible.
For the entrance exams, more than 180,000 test items have been developed. The tests were subjected to two independent examinations, which guarantee, among other things, their homogeneity in Uzbek, Russian and Karakalpak.
With the faculty, which will take part in the testing, the relevant labor contracts were concluded.
It was noted that before all testing will end in Surkhandarya region – on 8 August. In Tashkent, Namangan and Syrdarya regions, entrance examinations will end on 10 August, in Kashkadarya region - on 11 August, in Ferghana, Jizzakh and Navoi regions - on 12 August, in Karakalpakstan, Andijan, Khorezm and Samarkand regions - on 13 August and in Bukhara region - on 14 August.
Director of the State Testing Center, Majid Karimov, also clarified the amount of funds received from applicants who had not received in previous years. It amounted to 53 billion soums. This money will be spent on the organization of the testing process. Also, with more than 10 thousand applicants, the fee was taken by mistake, and the Center will return these funds to their owners.
Majid Karimov: “About 4,000 appeals were filed last year. Of these, more than 40 applications were granted. 8 people sued; two of them won the trial. ”
“The court case was won by two applicants who submitted documents to the Pediatric Institute. In the current controversial situation, there was no fault of the Test Center. Assignments in the tests were correct and the answers in them were laid on 6 parameters. Applicants considered that they contained 7-8 parameters, on the basis of which they responded. 8 experts took part in the trial. Of these, 6 were on the side of the Center, and 2 believed that the applicants were right. As a result, the court ruled in their favor. We did not have time to appeal the decision of the court. But we fulfilled his requirement. One of the applicants was transferred from the contract to the grant, and the other was granted an exemption for admission to the university this year,” said Majid Karimov.
