"This year applicants are less interested in Law, economics and
international relations," said Levon Lazarian, the Minister of
Education and Science, July 18. According to the minister the drop is
determined by the united test in the Armenian Language and Literature
and the demands of the labour party.

Surprisingly though it might seem, few applicants go to Yerevan State
University. Law, languages, economics, medicine are popular with
students from Yerevan. Applicants from regions mainly applied for
Yerevan State University. The number of applicants to the State
Linguistic University after V. Brusov, Medical University and
Pedagogical University has significantly increased.

This year exams will end earlier on August 10 so that children can
have a little rest till September.

According to the minister cameras will be installed in all examination
halls and oral exams will be recorded.
