How to get to
Skoltech

(It is quite simple)

We created this guide to help you with the process.
Please, read it carefully before submitting your competitive selection application, and don't hesitate to ask any questions.




The admission and enrollment process includes several steps.
You have probably seen this timeline. Below we explain it in details.
1
Preparing your portfolio
Prepare your application materials.
2
Submit your application
Upload your materials into the application system between January and July 2022 and submit your application.

Online testing
Every candidate must take an online profile test. You will be notified by email about the specific date and time of your test.

Enrollment
The final admissions stage takes place in Moscow. You have to pass the TOEFL ITP exam on site, or present a valid TOEFL certificate and pass an in-person interview. Extra written examinations may be required for certain programs during this time (you will be notified in advance).

We prefer scans in PDF files, but also accept images in JPEG, PNG, GIF or BMP formats.
Documents in DOC, PPT, TXT and other formats will not be accepted.
If any of your documents is not presented in English, please provide a translation. If possible, scan the original with the translation together. Translation is obligatory for recommendation letters and highly recommended for the rest items.
1. Application / Portfolio
Upload all documents using your account between January and July 2022. Fill out the questionnaire. When everything is completed, click "Submit". Great, now you are officially an Applicant.
We do not charge any tuition fees.
2. Online test
All applicants who submitted the abovementioned docs are qualified for subject online testing. You will be notified by e-mail about your specific time. The link and the instructions will be sent within 24h before the scheduled test. The test will take 2–3 hours of your time.
Sample tests are available here >>
You will need to organize a quiet place with a stable internet connection, where no one will disturb you during the test, and the device with working web-camera and microphone.
The on-line testing will be performed using a proctoring service, i.e. we will automatically and manually control the process and observe you during the test. A high rate of automatically tracked suspicious activity lowers your Credibility Score, which may influence the decision of the Admission Committee. Recovered and proven cheating during the test leads to an immediate ban.
3. Selection Weekend
Based on your portfolio and test results Admission Comittee will make a decision within 2 weeks and inform you about it via e-mail. You will need to come to Skoltech on the specified date for the final interviews. Only in exceptional cases final stage may be performed remotely via video conference-call for those applicants, who cannot come in person. Personal presence makes your chances to succeed higher.
The Selection Weekend takes place on a Saturday (and for some applicants Sunday as well). We provide a scheduled transfer from Moscow to the campus (and back), and the meals.
And a positive mood, of course:
