Komi Republic launches Unified State Exam with new retake rules and stricter oversight
The Unified State Exam (USE) has begun in the Komi Republic, with 3,605 eleventh-graders taking part. Another 47 students with disabilities will sit for the State Final Exam instead. This year, new rules and additional support measures have been introduced to ensure fairness and provide second chances. A total of 76 exam centres have opened across the republic for the main testing period. Each location is monitored by online CCTV, except for home-based testing sites. Last year, authorities made it mandatory to install cameras at all exam centre entrances to prevent misconduct.
Over 300 volunteers, including deputies from Komi’s State Council and local councils, have signed up as public observers. Their role is to oversee the process and maintain transparency. Meanwhile, 470 high school graduates are competing for academic honours. Among them, 298 are in the running for gold medals, while 172 aim for silver under the 'For Outstanding Academic Achievement' programme. Six students already completed their exams during the early period and have received their diplomas. For those still testing, a new supplementary retake period offers a chance to improve scores. Graduates can retake one exam on July 8 and 9 if needed. This year marks the first time such a retake opportunity has been available. Officials hope it will ease pressure and allow students to achieve better results.
The exams will continue with strict oversight and expanded support. Students now have more flexibility to retake tests, while volunteers and technology help maintain integrity. The results will determine medal winners and university admissions in the coming months.
