ARKA

YEREVAN

RA Deputy Minister of Education Bagrat Yesayan advises entrants to be
serious about choosing their future professions and apply to several
higher schools.

"You should not ask anyone about the lowest passing score. No one can
answer it," Yesayan said. He said that many applicants received high
marks, but they have not yet made a final choice. The passing score
depends on the number of applicants for particular faculties.

A total of 3,700 school-leavers had applied for Armenia’s higher
schools by July 10, 2008. About 13,000 school-leavers apply to
Armenia’s higher schools every year.

Most of the applicants, 1,290, are trying to enter Yerevan State
University.

As regards specialization, the largest number entrants have
applied to the Medical Business Department of Yerevan State Medical
University.
