Here’s the list of dates of round, the number and types of problems of the Entrance Competitions in Informatics and Mathematics.

Open Entrance Competition for high school students in Computer Science

Qualifying stage:

The qualifying round will be held from 25 January up to 1 March 2017.

The test consists of about 12 problems, topics covered: information coding and numeral systems, mathematical logic, algorithmization and programming, telecommunication technology, multimedia technology, technologies of information storage, search and sorting.

Once the test period is over, and participants can review the correct answers, they have an opportunity to make an online appeal if their particular answer is not written in the standard format, and thus marked as incorrect.
