The future must be embedded in the present. This is what Georg Lichtenberg, a German scientist and publicist, said and wrote. These words are especially relevant for those people who are choosing an educational institution to receive higher education. There are a lot of worthy universities in Russia where you can get any specialty and, thanks to it, build your future life. One of such educational institutions is the Kokino (Bryansk) Agricultural Academy. Let's take a look at this university.

From the history of the institution

Kokinsky Agricultural Academy - this is how some people habitually call Bryansk Agrarian University. This name is due to several reasons:

1. Location of the university. It is located in the village of Kokino.
2. Past status of the university. For many years the university functioned as an agricultural academy. Contributions to agriculture, expansion of the number of specialties and improvement of teaching led to the institution becoming an agricultural university.

And now some historical information. The Koka Agricultural Academy, now considered a university, appeared in 1980. At the time of its founding, the university received the name Bryansk Agricultural Institute. It existed until 1995. It was then converted into an academy. During the years of its existence, the organizational structure was actively changed - faculties were enlarged and transformed, and turned into institutes. In 2014, another important event occurred in the history of the university, which everyone probably already guessed. Koka Agricultural Academy changed its status and became a university.

Institution structure

There is now only one faculty at the university. It trains students in secondary vocational education programs. It has existed since the founding of the university. Its tasks include training people in the following specialties:

• "Economics and Accounting";
• "Agronomy";
• “Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles”;
• “Electrification and automation of agriculture”;
• "Fire safety".

The remaining structural divisions are institutes that were once faculties of the Kokino Agricultural Academy. Here is a list of modern units:

• economics and agribusiness;
• biotechnology and veterinary medicine;
• engineering and technology;
• environmental management and energy;
• advanced training, international relations and culture.

Specialties of higher education

The institutes, operating as departments within the university, train students in undergraduate and graduate programs. There are over 15 areas of training at the university. For people who want to work in the future in the field of agriculture, specialties related to agrochemistry and agrosoil science, agronomy, agricultural engineering, and animal science are suitable.

There are applicants who want to become doctors. This dream can be realized not only in a medical university, but also in an agricultural one. Bryansk Agrarian University offers “Veterinary Medicine” to those interested. This specialty opens up wide opportunities for students. They can work in some veterinary institution or open their own clinic after graduation.

For people who do not want to be associated with agriculture, there are specialties at the Kokino Agricultural Academy, which are available in almost every university. We are talking about “Economics”, “Management”, “Trading”, “Applied Informatics”. With the listed specialties, university graduates work at agricultural enterprises and in various commercial structures.

Passing scores

When entering the Kokino Agricultural Academy, applicants are interested in the passing score. This indicator is not important, because it reflects information about admission last year. To increase your chances of being admitted to free places, you just need to work hard to prepare for the Unified State Examination or entrance tests in the required subjects in order to get high scores as a result.

It is only recommended to pay attention to the minimum passing scores for Kokinskaya. You will find out about them in advance before coming to the admissions office with documents. For example, in 2017, applicants were required to pass the Russian language with a minimum of 36 points, mathematics with a minimum of 28 points, biology with a minimum of 37 points, physics with a minimum of 37 points, and social studies with a minimum of 42 points.

Its notable feature is the relatively low Unified State Exam scores scored by applicants to these universities. Only the leader of the ranking, the Bashkir State Agrarian University, managed to overcome the average USE bar of 60 points, despite the fact that the minimum score, however, did not reach the specified mark.

As for the winners, second place in the ranking was taken by the Russian State Agrarian University. K.A. Timiryazev (59.6), followed by the State University of Land Management with an average Unified State Exam score of 59.6.

The remaining universities showed even more modest results, which is an indirect confirmation of the level of interest of applicants in the relevant specialties and areas of training taught in agricultural universities.
