The son of a participant in the war in Ukraine, expelled from MIPT after the first session for poor academic performance, re-entered the Phystech School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics at the university under the same quota for children of war participants. Dmitry Zh. himself wrote about this in the Telegram channel, and Important Stories drew attention to this.
Dmitry's blog is called «DimaShina vs. MIPT». «I submitted my documents almost at the last moment (July 23), I wasn't sure that I could handle it, and I'm still not sure. I failed at a lot of things after MIPT, I failed at a lot of things during MIPT, why should I succeed now? In general, for objective reasons, I'm not sure that I can handle it, but we'll try. Of course, this time I have a clearer plan of action and everything is not so hopeless (everyone has a plan, before the first strike), otherwise, I probably wouldn't have submitted my documents to MIPT,» he wrote today.
The first time, Dmitry entered MIPT with the lowest score in history due to his father's participation in the war in Ukraine last July. In a video on his YouTube channel, he said that he scored 127 points on the exams: 57 in Russian, 70 in mathematics. With this result, he was enrolled in the Phystech School.
At the end of January, Dmitry reported his expulsion. According to the young man, his problems began in the second month of study, since he fell ill and missed classes. Then it became difficult for him to attend the university, since during his illness he missed a lot of information and did not understand new topics of classes.
The press service of MIPT explained that the student had debts in six academic disciplines. At the same time, the university emphasized that Dmitry would again be able to use the benefit for admission.
“In the current version of the Law on Education, the provision on the admission of SVO participants and their children to Russian universities on preferential terms has no expiration date, which gives grounds for using the benefit an unlimited number of times,” the press service of the university said.
“Important Stories” calculated that in 2024, more than 2 thousand people entered 18 of the best universities in Russia under quotas for participants in the war in Ukraine and their children. This is 75% more people than were admitted to these same universities under a “separate quota” last year.
