* In 2024, the results of the national multi-subject test (NMT) of 2022-2023 or the results of the external independent assessment (ZNO) of 2021 are used for admission (exclusively the entire test that took place in the corresponding year, without the possibility of choosing subjects from different years).
This year, entrants who plan to obtain a bachelor's degree at KPI named after Igor Sikorskyi, must provide a letter of motivation for admission to the university when submitting electronic applications.
Thus, for admission both by state order and at the expense of individuals and/or legal entities to the specialty 113 Applied Mathematics, all entrants must submit the results of the NMT or ZNO and a motivation letter.
The main session of the NMT will be held from 18 July to 10 August in Ukraine and 39 European countries, so you can take the test even outside the country.
On the website of the Admissions Committee of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, you can find the main dates of application and document submission, entrance examinations, competitive selection and enrolment of applicants on the basis of complete general secondary education, as well as the schedule of the Admissions Committee of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute during the application and document submission.
