Azerbaijan higher education admissions and reforms

Overview

As the 2026/2027 academic year approaches, Azerbaijan has implemented several educational reforms and admission updates. In the vocational sector, the second stage of admissions for 12,766 vacancies across 69 institutions commenced on August 27. Higher education institutions continue to report specific trends: Baku Engineering University has filled 98.3% of its plan, while entrance scores for medical specialties at Azerbaijan Medical University are rising.

Regarding master’s degree programs, the State Examination Center (DIM) announced the results for vacant positions. Out of 1,457 applicants, 508 individuals were admitted, including 82 through state-funded spots. Successful candidates can verify results via the DIM website or mobile services. Admitted students must complete registration through the my.gov.az portal between September 3 at 15:00 and September 9 at 18:00; failure to register within this window is considered a refusal of placement.

Broader educational reforms include a new mandate for the 2026/2027 school year requiring ‘Azerbaijan History’ to be taught in the state language for 7th-grade students in non-Azerbaijani language sections. These updates follow earlier challenges regarding specialized program vacancies and the digital registration requirements managed by the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IDDA).
