Since I am not from a very rich family, I only considered the option of going on a budget. After studying physics and mathematics, in addition to the main exams, I took the Unified State Exam in physics and a specialized exam in mathematics. My plans were to enter a specialty related to astronautics, astronomy or astrophysics.
I had to choose between RUDN University and Moscow Aviation Institute. Unfortunately for me, I chose the greater of two evils. I entered the Aerospace Faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute on a budget, although I also entered the physics department of the RUDN University. I preferred MAI because of its location (it was geographically convenient)
All my misadventures began when I got to know the MAI administration better. In anticipation of the start of the school year, I needed to know where and when the freshman meeting would be held. Since the institute’s very inconvenient website periodically does not work, I had to call the admissions office, which was extremely easy. The not quite adequate secretary answered me. From her I heard a sea of unfounded claims against me, but I still achieved my goal. True, this dialogue made me doubt the correctness of my decision. The place of ambition has become somewhat dulled.
The freshmen meeting also made an indelible impression on me. Almost immediately they stated that a meager, pitiful scholarship of 1,500 rubles without commission could therefore only be obtained at the commercial(!) SDM Bank. We, one might say, were immediately forbidden to look for any work. At the same time, the question of how one can exist on a scholarship that is impossible to obtain remains unanswered. At the meeting, I also learned that every year students undergo a medical examination and not only where, but in the institute’s clinic. The fact that it may be inconvenient for you to go there every time it’s wildly busy doesn’t bother anyone.
Of all the subjects, greater priority is given to physical education (2-3 pairs of one physical education class per week).
Immediately after the meeting we were expected to communicate with the curators. They, as experienced people, warned us that it is not worth complaining about teachers who like to skip classes - “it may cost you more.” The curators also told us that in the process of reducing the size of the group, by the last year the remaining students would probably be transferred to another, as a result of which they would receive a diploma in a specialty other than the one they originally wanted. We learned that even at the very beginning of training, the money issue arises acutely. For each book taken from the institute library, you must pay a deposit of 100 rubles. Maybe this is a small amount, but considering the fact that under the constant pressure of teachers, “who also want to eat,” you will have to buy their essentially unnecessary manuals more than once, during your entire study you will have to fork out quite a bit.
Perhaps the conversation with the curators was the last straw. I firmly decided to pick up the documents. But I couldn’t do this without incident. I managed to get through to the admissions office again with a drumbeat. I was told where and on what day I should go to get my documents. The guards at the checkpoint did not want to let me and my mother through. When we got to the dean's office, we were faced with absolute, total destruction reigning within its walls. You will not be able to find the markings of floor and classroom numbers here. Having spent a lot of effort and wasted more than one hour of time, I found out the treasured information about where my documents actually are. As it turned out, I also needed to write a letter of resignation. When everything was ready, the administration needed to make sure that my parents knew about my decision. Simply put, they had to give their consent. The fact that they didn’t tell me on the phone that one of my parents should be with me once again proves the carelessness and indifference towards the people of this institute. As a result, the administration’s attitude towards applicants can easily be called boorish, unresponsive, and disregardful. The level of hypocrisy in all employees is simply off the charts. Their sky-high self-esteem does not allow them to see the obvious.
Don’t repeat my mistake; before enrolling, carefully study the reviews of applicants and students regarding the university of your dreams!

Hello, Sergei Sergeevich, my son submitted copies of documents and plans to study at the Moscow Aviation Institute. If enrolled, will the consent form and certificate need to be brought in person or can it be sent by mail?
Hello, Irina!
You can do it by mail, but it's better in person.
12.07.19 Irina-> Sergey Krylov
Thank you.
Did I understand correctly (they said so on the phone) that I can bring the original until July 28 inclusive (at the destination)?
Another question: if we write consent for the target, can we continue to participate in the general competition, and if we get into another specialty through the general competition, refuse to enroll in the target and go for the general one?
12.07.19 Julia-> Sergey Krylov
Hello Sergey Sergeevich.
Is it possible to submit a copy of the certificate or a copy certified by the school (notary) to the target admission?
If yes, when should I bring the original if accepted? When will the target lists appear?
With 234 points, is it possible to get a hostel with targeted training?
Hello, Yulia!
1. An original is required for enrollment. You must bring it before enrollment.
2. Lists for the target will appear soon.
3. Depends on the direction of training
11.07.19 Julia-> Sergey Krylov
Sergey Sergeevich, thank you for your answer!!! Please clarify, will the competition list be announced on July 27 based on points? Regardless of what the person submitted (original or copy). Will we be able to (submit the original for “Applied Mathematics”, 253 points, need a dormitory) to track how many people will be in front of us if those who submitted copies bring the originals.. Or do those who need a hostel go through a separate competition?
Hello, Tatyana!
The list will be by points indicating copies and originals.
The number of places in the dormitory is limited, but I think that with your points, you will get a place.
10.07.19 Tatiana Zelener-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon, Sergey Sergeevich!
My son submitted documents to the Moscow Aviation Institute to participate in a budget competition in 3 areas. If he does not pass the competition or for other reasons is not enrolled in indicated directions, at the end of the competition (after August 8), will he have the opportunity to conclude an agreement for paid training in a field that is not included in the competitive ones specified by him when submitting his application? If yes, then in what time frame should this be done? Or is it necessary to declare this intention before July 26, otherwise, at the end of the competition, he will no longer be considered as a candidate for enrollment on a paid basis?
Thanks in advance for clarifications!
09.07.19 Alexander-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon, I recently completed the 2nd year (without debt, 4th and 5th grade) of full-time budget education and would like to transfer to your university to major in informatics and computer engineering. What documents, where and in what time frame can I submit for this?
Hello, Sergey!
You should contact the directorate of Institute No. 3.
https://mai.ru/education/control/
08.07.19 Sergey-> Sergey Krylov
Hello!
Tell me, please, what does the second stage of testing mean?
Hello Anna!
This term is not used, so it most likely means nothing. Maybe you meant “second stage of enrollment”?
08.07.19 Anna-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon. I am interested in enrolling in your university, and then accelerated studies through transfers due to previous studies. Please tell me who I can discuss this with more specifically. Thank you
Hello, I think you should discuss this with the administration of the faculty (institute) where you want to enroll.
Sergey Sergeevich, hello!!!
Please tell me if this situation arises: my daughter is submitting the original to your university to the departments of “Applied Mathematics” and “Information Security” with scores M (82) P (85) I (81) + medal. A total of 253 points. Let’s assume that we don’t get into these faculties in the first wave, what should we do... Wait for the second wave or switch to enrolling in the faculty with lower grades. points, which I wouldn’t really like to apply for.. What to do in such a situation, if it arises, please advise. We really want to learn from you, but we are afraid of missing points
Hello, Tatyana!
I think you should join the first wave. If not, then wait for the second wave, and you will definitely enroll. Without any doubt.
03.07.19 Tatiana Zelener-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon. Does the university provide dormitory accommodation for non-resident applicants during the period of submitting the original?
Provides.
03.07.19 Natalia-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon I am the mother of a student. Question. My son passed the Unified State Exam in computer science with 82 points, according to specialized mathematics 72 points, and in Russian 87 points. Is there a chance to enroll in your institute, and which faculties? He is interested in everything related to programming, information systems, computer security. (Here on the website we did not find a list of faculties and numbers budget places, with average passing scores, if there is a link, please!). Very grateful.
03.07.19 Love-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon
According to the MAI website July 8, 2019 State accreditation of the university ends. Please tell me, is there up-to-date information about accreditation renewal and where can I find it?
Hello!
In May-June 2019, the state procedure was carried out at MAI in accordance with the established procedure. accreditation. As soon as documents about the state are received. accreditation from Rosobrnadzor (we hope this will happen in the coming days), they will be posted on the website.
Update:
Order No. 937 of 07/03/2019 on the state is available on the Rosobrnadzor website. MAI accreditation. All specialties and areas of training are accredited.
30.06.19 Alexander-> Sergey Krylov
Hello, I have a question. If I am still a minor and will submit documents alone, do I need parental consent for the processing of personal data? I can't find information about this.
No, it's not necessary.
30.06.19 Svetlana-> Sergey Krylov
Good afternoon, Sergey Sergeevich.
I am interested in a direction that is more directly related to programming, apparently you have department 806. But my son took computer science, without physics, and the scores were very high. Therefore, we plan to submit documents for applied mathematics. But the specificity there is not entirely his. As he understood from the DOD, after the first year it is possible to somehow transfer to the direction of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. Is this so, is it difficult to implement in practice? And why, in your opinion, is your faculty stronger than the corresponding one at MIREA?
Hello, Olga!
Yes, since the first-year program is the same for all areas of our faculty, after the first year you can transfer from any direction to any, maintaining a budget place and a deferment from the army. This happens annually as usual.
Our faculty has always been and remains stronger than the corresponding structures of MIREA, which is confirmed, in particular, by the success of MAI student teams in the World Programming Championship, the presence of a dissertation council on computer specialties, the number of budget places, etc.
25.06.19 Olga Borkova-> Sergey Krylov
Dear Sergey Sergeevich, good afternoon.
You are worried about applicant Ilya, a student at the Nakhabino Gymnasium, I was at your open day and definitely decided to apply only to you and nowhere else! I was sure that there wouldn’t be any problems, since I’m not a C student and I wasn’t very well prepared for the exams, but alas, I didn’t pass them as well as I would have liked) of course we’re still waiting for computer science results, but Russian, Mathematics and Physics, not so much, total score is 160) I hope that computer science will come and there will be a good result... but my question is, are there any chances to enroll in applied mathematics with you, if the score is from 180, at least on a paid basis? I am an athlete (football, volleyball, basketball and many other sports), mostly football of course, I played at the Gymnasium, this year I was awarded as the best athlete of 2018-2019 in Krasnogorsk. Our gymnasium has always been in first place in sports, we took part in the Spartakiad, Olympic reserve, and various tournaments. Sorry if I seemed tactless to you and probably all these results are not at all important and do not play any role, but I am confident in my abilities and I can definitely say that I will be a worthy student of your department.
In advance, thank you very much for your answer.
Sincerely, Ilya Makharev.
Information about the university
At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was an intensive development of aviation science and technology. This has led to an increased demand for specialists with relevant qualifications in this industry. The initiator of the creation of special centers for research and training of engineering personnel was Professor N. E. Zhukovsky. Understanding the importance of this issue, in 1930, on the basis of the aeromechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University, VAMU (Higher Aeromechanical School) was organized with an aeronautics, engine-building and aircraft-building department. In August 1930, this institution was renamed Moscow aviation institute.
In the memorable 1930, the first graduation of a large number of aviation engineers took place at the Moscow Aviation Institute, many of whom joined the teaching staff educational institution. During the same period, graduate school appeared, which enrolled designers and scientists who later became widely known.
The structure of the educational institution was constantly improved, adapting to new requirements and discoveries in the aviation industry. That is why, in 1933, the institute established a faculty of engineering and economics, which trained specialists in such areas as economics and organization of the aviation industry. And in 1935, the Faculty of Aircraft Weapons appeared, where students were trained to handle aircraft combat installations, as well as navigation and radio equipment.
By 1940, the institute consisted of 5 faculties, 38 departments, 24 specialized classrooms, 22 laboratories, equipped training workshops, and a flight training squad. After the war, specialized lecture courses and experimental installations on rocket and jet engines began to be developed at MAI to train specialists, taking into account new discoveries in science. In the 50s, departments for the design and development of rockets were opened, and in the 80s, the MAI-89 ultralight aircraft was developed, which subsequently set a record for the speed of ascent to a height of three thousand meters. In 1998, the Moscow Aviation Institute received a certificate confirming the right to develop light civil aircraft.
Today the university is recruiting students for the following faculties:
- Aviation technology;
- Aerospace;
- Aircraft engines;
- Applied mathematics and physics;
- Radiovtuz MAI;
- Foreign languages;
- Robotic and intelligent systems;
- Social engineering;
- Pre-university training;
- Aircraft radio electronics;
- Applied mechanics;
- Control systems, computer science and electrical power engineering.
In addition, the Military Institute of MAI, the Engineering and Economic Institute of MAI, and the Institute for Advanced Studies and Retraining of MAI are involved as faculties.
The Moscow Aviation Institute operates full-time, part-time and part-time form training (evening), which makes training as convenient as possible. Thanks to multi-level training in various specialties, applicants can receive:
- primary education;
- general;
- secondary vocational;
- higher education;
- second higher education;
- postgraduate education;
- preparatory courses for working specialties;
- advanced training;
- professional retraining.
For visiting applicants, a dormitory is provided, which is located on the campus. There are seven dormitory buildings in total, where the number of places is 4805. All questions about accommodation are resolved in the dean's offices of the faculties. Recruitment of applicants is carried out for budgetary and paid places in specialty, bachelor's and master's programs, and in branches there is also a recruitment of those wishing to obtain secondary education vocational education. All students studying full-time on a budget basis can apply for personal and state scholarships. The scholarship (type and amount) depends on academic performance and the presence of special merits in research, scientific, social, sports and cultural activities.
The educational institution offers postgraduate and doctoral studies.
Postgraduate studies provide training in 54 specialties of chemical, technical and physical and mathematical sciences, and in 6 specialties of philosophical, political, historical and economic sciences. Doctoral studies include more than 10 scientific areas in the field of mechanical engineering, mechanics, and control processes. There are also special Councils for those wishing to defend a doctoral or candidate's dissertation.
At the Moscow Aviation Institute, 25 departments have been created (or reorganized), where educational activities based on various scientific organizations. It is possible to get a second higher education, both after graduation and in parallel with training. Training takes place at the faculties: MAI Engineering and Economic Institute, Aviation Engineering, applied mathematics, physics, applied mechanics, foreign languages, aerospace.
This higher educational institution offers distance learning:
- Educational and methodological center distance learning Engineering and Economic Institute MAI;
- Distance learning system for mathematical disciplines;
- Resource Center scientific research and innovative technologies.
The branches of the university, where specialists are trained, are located in important centers of the rocket, space and aviation industry - in the city of Zhukovsky, Khimki, Baikonur and Akhtubinsk. At the institute itself, more than 2,300 teachers teach students, including about 450 doctors of science and professors, more than 1,100 candidates of science and associate professors. About 70% of the teaching staff have the title or academic degree, which significantly improves the quality of education provided. The rector of the university is professor, doctor technical sciences Gerashchenko Anatoly Nikolaevich.
The institute also has an external program, thanks to which you can qualitatively prepare for admission and passing the necessary exams. The university's rating (among Russian universities) is not particularly high, but numerous positive reviews, a relatively low passing score and a sufficient number of budget places attract many applicants. In addition, to facilitate employment upon graduation, the MAI Employment Center was created, the database of which contains more than 200 companies interested in graduates.
The Institute has its own airfield, where students of the Faculty of Aviation Engineering undergo practical training, training specialists for the defense and aerospace industries, carried out on various types of aviation equipment. MAI has a high-quality educational and laboratory base and highly qualified teaching staff, which makes it possible to provide high-quality training for students.
