Winter ORT Admissions to Begin Soon
Ahead of the winter admission period based on the National Scholarship Test (ORT), applicants have been submitting numerous questions about registration procedures, test dates and other important issues.
In this regard, the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Innovation of the Kyrgyz Republic has prepared answers to frequently asked questions to provide applicants with up-to-date information and help them prepare for the winter ORT.
Questions and Answers
1. Can applicants who took the ORT in May 2026 but were not admitted to a university during the summer admission period participate in the winter admission without retaking the test? Will they compete under the same conditions as those taking the ORT in November?
Applicants who took the ORT in 2026 are eligible to participate in winter university admissions, regardless of whether they took the test in spring or autumn. The selection and admission rules are the same for both summer and winter admission periods. No separate admission conditions apply to applicants who take the ORT in autumn.
2. If an applicant took the ORT in May and retakes it in November, which result will be considered during admission? Can they choose the certificate with the higher score?
The certificate with the higher ORT score will be considered in the competition.
3. If an applicant already has a valid ORT certificate from May 2026, do they need to register again for the winter test through testing.kg, or can they participate directly in the winter admission process?
If the score on the ORT certificate obtained in May 2026 is above the established minimum threshold, retaking the test is not mandatory.
4. Can a student who was admitted to a university in summer 2026 but later expelled participate in winter admission using their May ORT results? Does the reason for expulsion matter?
Only applicants who are not currently enrolled as university students are eligible to participate in the ORT-based university admission competition. Therefore, students who have been expelled may participate in winter admission regardless of the reason for their expulsion.
5. What minimum ORT scores apply to winter admission? Are the same requirements as for summer admission maintained? Are there separate requirements for medical, pedagogical and other fields?
The university admission rules are the same for summer and winter admission periods. The minimum scores established by the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Innovation for summer admission also apply to winter admission. Applicants seeking admission to medical programmes must achieve scores equal to or higher than the established minimum thresholds in the main test and subject tests (Chemistry and Biology).
6. When will applications for winter university admission open, how many admission rounds will there be, and when will the results be announced?
The schedule for applicant selection and admission to universities during the winter period will be approved by an order of the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Innovation, which is expected to be issued in December 2026.
7. Can applicants apply to several universities or different programmes simultaneously during winter admission? Is there a limit on the number of applications?
During each admission round, an applicant is entitled to submit one application to participate in the competition for admission on a tuition-paying (contract) basis.
