Application process open for August UNT participation
The August Unified National Testing (UNT) in Kazakhstan offers a valuable opportunity for college graduates and secondary school graduates alike to secure a spot in higher education institutions across the country. This additional testing session, held annually in August, serves as a retake or improvement opportunity for those who missed the initial test or seek to enhance their scores.
**Who can participate** in the August UNT? Eligibility extends to secondary school graduates applying to universities, college graduates or individuals holding a secondary education certificate, and those aiming to improve their UNT scores from previous testing sessions.
For college graduates seeking admission to universities based on an interview, the process is as follows:
1. Submitting an application to the higher education institution by the specified deadlines, typically early August. 2. Providing required documents such as UNT results, identity card, and education certificates. 3. Participating in an interview if the institution’s admission policy requires it for college graduates. 4. Awaiting the results of the selection, which includes UNT scores and interview evaluations. 5. If successful, signing a contract for educational grants or enrollment.
Some universities in Kazakhstan offer admission pathways for college graduates that include an interview component as part of the admission decision. College graduates may apply to shortened or specialized degree programs, and the interview serves as a crucial part of the selection process.
The admission timeline usually involves application submission, announcement of results after testing or interviews, followed by grant competitions and contract signing, which typically take place in September–November.
It is essential to note that the August UNT is also open to Kazakhstani citizens who are not citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as graduates of foreign secondary education institutions. Additionally, students wishing to transfer from creative specialties to others or switch to pedagogical specialties can also participate in the August UNT.
The August UNT registration process can be done on the National Testing Center's website at app.testcenter.kz. Applicants can choose the location, date, and time of the August UNT when submitting their application. The testing will take place between August 10 and 14.
The August UNT offers a valuable opportunity for students who wish to enroll in universities on a paid basis, as well as those who did not pass the initial test and seek a second chance. The university admissions committees handle the enrollment process for college graduates on a paid basis.
