The National Multidisciplinary Test in 2027 year could be conducted using a simplified scheme — with three mandatory subjects instead of four. In particular, applicants are proposed to take Ukrainian language, mathematics, and Ukraine history, dropping the fourth elective subject.
This was reported by Yuliya Hryshyna, head of the Verkhovna Rada subcommittee on higher education, in her Telegram channel.
According to the deputy, the majority of members of the parliamentary committee on education support keeping mathematics as a mandatory part of the entrance exam. At the same time she proposed a compromise option — returning to the NMT structure of 2022 year, when applicants took three subjects.
Thus, in the proposed model there will be no fourth elective subject tied to the future specialty of the entrant. This concerns biology, chemistry, physics, or a foreign language.
Hryshyna explained that the initiative takes into account the difficult conditions under which Ukrainian students are receiving education during the war. Due to shelling, power outages, and constant interruptions in learning, children have significant educational losses.
In the deputy’s view, taking four subjects in one day creates excessive burden on applicants.
“Taking four subjects in one day after a sleepless night due to shelling is an excessive burden for a child,” she emphasized.
At the same time, reducing the number of subjects, according to the proposal’s author, will reduce the burden on entrants without abolishing competitive admission to higher education institutions.
What will the final NMT-2027 model be
So far, Hryshyna’s proposal has not become an official decision regarding the year’s admission campaign 2027.
28 October, the profile committee of the Verkhovna Rada recommended that the parliament support the draft law №15440, which provides for keeping four subjects under the scheme ‘3+1.’
Another bill — №15440-1 — also proposes reducing testing to three subjects, but provides that mathematics would be optional. The committee sent it for refinement.
The three mandatory subjects model — Ukrainian language, mathematics, and Ukraine history — was also discussed at the committee meeting, but was not included in the final decision.
Thus, the final NMT-2027 format should be determined by the Verkhovna Rada.
