On the official portal of the Mayor and the Government of Moscow mos.ru, registration for participation in the state final certification for this academic year opened on October 1. Registration for the Unified State Exam (USE) will continue until February 1, 2027, inclusive, and for the Basic State Exam (BSE) — until March 1, 2027. This was reported by the press service of the capital city. Department of Education and Science.
“This year, registering for exams and the mandatory tests for admission to them has become easier. Previously, eleventh graders had to separately apply for the Unified State Exam (EGE), and then for the final essay or dictation. Ninth graders similarly had to separately register for the Basic State Exam (OGE) and the final Russian language interview. Now, after submitting an application for exams, the system will itself immediately offer to register for the final essay or the interview. There is no need to switch to another section of the portal and start the registration process anew,” said the department’s press service.
Ninth-graders who plan to continue their studies in the 10th grade must pass four subjects on the OGE (two mandatory and two elective). To enter college, only the two mandatory subjects (Russian language and mathematics) are required.
To be admitted to the OGE, ninth graders must pass the final interview in the Russian language. It will take place on February 10, 2027. The application must be submitted no later than two weeks before the date of the exam (by January 27, 2027, inclusive).
Eleventh graders must successfully pass two mandatory exams — Russian language and mathematics — in order to receive a certificate of secondary general education. Graduates choose the other subjects for university admission.
To be admitted to the exams, eleventh graders must also pass the final essay or exposition. It will take place on December 2, 2026. Registration must be completed no later than two weeks before the date of the event (no later than November 18, 2026, inclusive).
The procedure for registering for the Unified State Exam in foreign languages has changed. The exam consists of written and oral parts. Previously, an application had to be submitted separately for each part; now, both parts can be chosen simultaneously.
Another innovation of this academic year directly concerns the conduct of exams. Now, school students will take the OGE elective subjects on computers with the domestic software “MosTech.OS”, while the mandatory subjects — Russian language and mathematics — will remain in paper format. For taking the Unified State Exam (EGE) in computer science, instead of Windows, Moscow’s own educational operating system “OS MESh” will be used.
While registration is ongoing, participants have the right to adjust their application: add, replace subjects, or reduce their number. Once the registration period ends, changes are only possible by applying to the state examination commission.
