Latest reviews from PGUTI
Ekaterina Ivanova 13:26 07/05/2013I entered the academy in 2005, then it was called PGATI, but I already graduated from the university, which is very nice! I got admitted very easily based on the results of the Unified State Exam into the specialty Information Systems and Technologies. Only math scores were taken into account. 20 places were provided on a budgetary basis. And I was one of them without paying a penny. It is possible to pass all exams and tests yourself, and often you only need to attend lectures. I studied diligently all 5 years and received a red diploma...

I am a 4th year student at PGUTI. In general, I like the training. There is no particular workload, like, for example, in the "air scythe", but they undoubtedly put knowledge into our heads. I am studying the specialty Computer Science and I will say right away that education in the IT field in “communications” is quite unique. Those who have studied will understand.
I came here absolutely by accident. When I was an applicant, it was possible to apply to absolutely all universities for all specialties. That's what I did (well, not for everything, of course, but for many...

In modern life, every person has to work with a huge amount of information. To store, use, and analyze it, various programs and equipment are used, which are periodically updated and improved. The emergence of new information and electronic technologies indicates that the industry associated with them is rapidly developing and is experiencing a shortage of qualified specialists. The training of such personnel is carried out by the Volga State University of Telecommunications and Informatics (PGUTI), located in Samara.
Where it all started
In the 50s, in connection with the beginning of the country's development, one of the pressing problems was the shortage of engineering and technical personnel. To solve this problem, educational institutions began to open. One of them was the Kuibyshev Electrotechnical Institute of Communications (modern Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics). It was opened for the purpose of training personnel for broadcasting, television, radio and wireline communications networks.
The first intake of students was carried out in 1956. 200 people entered the university. They did not have to choose a department, since at that time the institute had only one structural unit - “Radio communications and broadcasting”. The educational institution did not have its own building. Classes were held at the local communications polytechnic.
Development period analysis
More than 60 years have passed since the founding of the university. Throughout this period it developed:
- new faculties, departments, and specialties were opened in its organizational structure;
- new forms of education have appeared (except for full-time education) - correspondence, evening, distance learning;
- a training complex was built;
- research work was actively carried out;
- educational activities were improved taking into account the requirements of the time.
The name of the university changed several times. In 1991, the city of Kuibyshev, in which the university operated, was renamed. He became Samara. In this regard, the educational institution was renamed the Volga Region Institute of Informatics, Radio Engineering and Communications. In 1998, the university became the Academy of Telecommunications and Informatics. In 2008, the educational institution was given its current name.
University today
The Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics today is one of the largest higher educational institutions in the region. PSUTI is located at the address: Lev Tolstoy Street, 23. The university is of interest to applicants because it offers the most modern programs. Thanks to the education received at the university, you can find work both in Russia and abroad, because the industry for which specialists are trained at PSUTI is rapidly developing throughout the world.
The interest of applicants is caused by the high demand for graduates in the largest companies in Russia. Specialists who have received knowledge and a diploma at PGUTI are invited to work at Beeline, Megafon, MTS, RosTelecom, Russian Post, banks, insurance companies, and research institutes.
Getting to know the university through the admissions committee of PSUTI
The Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics has a huge number of advantages that distinguish it from other higher educational institutions in the region. It is impossible to list all the positive aspects in booklets, so if you want to learn as much as possible about the university, you should contact the admissions office.
This structural unit stores all the information that is important for applicants:
- Information about the teaching staff. According to admissions officers, about 260 people organize the educational process at PSUTI. Of these, 75% are holders of academic degrees and titles.
- Information about the features of training, the practical orientation of this process. Members of the admissions committee note that the university strives to provide its students with the necessary practical knowledge and skills. To do this, he regularly invites leading specialists and heads of infocommunication companies to classes.
- List of available faculties and specialties at PSUTI. When getting to know a university, applicants strive not only to evaluate all its advantages, but also to choose the structural unit and educational program they like best. Persons wishing to obtain higher education are offered 4 faculties - telecommunications and radio engineering, basic telecommunications education, information systems and technologies, and distance learning.
Faculty of Telecommunications and Radio Engineering
All of the above structural divisions were not created at the same time. The oldest of them, and therefore the most experienced in training qualified personnel, is the Faculty of Telecommunications and Radio Engineering. It was formed in 1961. The division was called the Faculty of Telephone and Telegraph Communications. Its main task was to train wire communications specialists.
Today, the faculty at the Volga State University of Telecommunications and Informatics (PGUTI) trains various specialists. Here is a list of directions and specialties:
- "Information Security" (bachelor's degree);
- "Radio Engineering" (bachelor's degree);
- “Infocommunication communication systems and technologies” (bachelor’s degree);
- “Information security of telecommunication systems” (specialty);
- “Radio-electronic systems and complexes” (specialty).
Faculty of Basic Telecommunications Education
This structural unit of the Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics dates back to 1996. It began to function at the university in the form of a general engineering faculty. It received its modern name a little later. Its goal was to teach junior students the basic disciplines necessary to understand core subjects.
Today, the faculty also teaches various disciplines. First and second year students of some areas study here general humanities, general mathematics, general technical and natural science subjects. There is also one direction in which from I to IV courses you can study only at the Faculty of Basic Telecommunications Education - “Optoinformatics and Photonics”.
Faculty of Information Systems and Technologies
This faculty appeared in the organizational structure of the educational institution in 2000. It was created on the basis of a previously operating department - the Faculty of Economics, Telecommunications and Informatics. There are quite a few areas offered at the undergraduate level:
- "Computer technology and information science."
- "Applied Informatics".
- "Information systems and technologies."
- "Software Engineering".
- “Administration and mathematical support of information systems.”
- "Innovation".
- "Intelligent systems in the humanitarian sphere."
- "Management in technical systems."
- "Management".
- "Public Relations and Advertising."
- "Journalism".
- "Business Informatics".
At the faculty, students receive the most current knowledge and skills, because the structural unit has a modern material and technical base. Educational laboratories and specialized classrooms are equipped for classes, a course and diploma design room for writing student papers, and a research laboratory for development work.
Faculty of Correspondence Studies
The most modern structural unit at the Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics is the Faculty of Correspondence Education. It offers unusual ways for many to study educational material and evaluate existing knowledge. Necessary books and manuals are provided on electronic media. Tests and tests in subjects are taken on computers.
The only disadvantage of the faculty of distance learning is the availability of a small number of educational programs. Not all areas and specialties that exist at the university are offered here, because most of them can be fully mastered only on a full-time basis. At the correspondence faculty, applicants can choose “Infocommunication communication systems and technologies”, “Computer engineering and informatics”, “Information systems and technologies”, “Applied informatics”, “Business informatics”, “Advertising and public relations”.
Passing marks at the university
In some areas and specialties at the Volga Region State University of Telecommunications and Informatics there are budget places. Not all applicants understand how they are distributed among applicants. And this is done very simply:
- at the end of the admissions campaign, a list of applicants is compiled;
- applicants are ranked in descending order of the sum of the results of entrance examinations (or the Unified State Examination) and points for individual achievements;
- applicants from the top of the list are enrolled in free training based on the number of places.
In order to enroll in a budget-funded place, you need to pass the Unified State Exam or entrance exams very well and achieve a passing grade. At PSUTI in 2017, this indicator was highest in “Software Engineering” (191 points), “Information Security of Telecommunication Systems” (190 points) and “Information Security” (188 points). The lowest values were recorded in “Radio Engineering” and “Infocommunication Communication Systems and Technologies” (153 points in both directions).
