Vladimir Potanin Foundation published the new Ranking of Universities. It is renewed annually and includes 75 Universities participating in the Fellowship Program. The Ranking evaluates universities’ social environment, conditions created for the academic staff, opportunities for self-realization of undergraduates and analyzes the activity of students and teachers.

This year KNRTU entered the Top-10 Universities, taking the 8th place.

The Ranking takes into account the activity of University students in the Foundation’s scholarship contest and the amount of winners. The indicators that affect the Ranking are the average score of the academic staff who participated in the grant competition and the number of academics who won in this competition. The number of University representatives who took part in the Foundation is also taken into consideration.
