Discussions are underway in Ukraine regarding the simplification of the National Multi-Subject Test (NMT) for future university admissions. This was reported by MP Yulia Grishina in a comment to Novosti.LIVE during the ‘Cities and Regions Summit’. She emphasised that the government is exploring options to make the admissions process less stressful for students. A final decision on reducing the number of subjects has not yet been made; the matter is currently under discussion.

The number of EIT subjects may be reduced

Currently, school leavers bear a huge burden, sitting four subjects at once. During the ‘Cities and Regions Summit’, Grishina told journalists that officials are considering the option of reducing the number of tests.

This involves a return to a less demanding format — three subjects instead of the current four.

Will it be possible to reschedule the NMT due to shelling?

Test-takers who were caught in Russian shelling the night before the exam are to be officially allowed to reschedule their NMT to another day. As Grishina emphasised, a child who is in a state of severe stress following an attack is not obliged to sit the exam at the last minute — they will have the opportunity to take the test later, in a calmer environment.
