Azerbaijan, Baku, July 31 / Trend , J.Babayeva/
The chairman of the State Students Admission Commission (SSAC) does not consider the results of the entrance examinations as ideal this year.
"This year, some 31.5 percent of applicants have scored 0-100 points, 22.6 percent - 100-200 points, 18.2 percent - 200-300 points, 21.2 percent - 300-500 and 6.4 percent -500-700 during the entrance examinations. If some 5-10 percent of applicants scored 0-100 points, the results can be considered ideal," the SSAC Chairman, Maleyka Abbaszadeh told journalists on July 31.
Over 114,000 applicants have attended the entrance examinations this year and 66,621 of them are school-leavers of 2009.
Abbaszadeh said an average point of applicants was 180 points in the entrance examinations in 2009. "The state commission cannot estimate this figure, because over 120,000 pupils finished secondary schools in Azerbaijan and only half of them applied to enter universities," the SSAC chairman said.
She said the state commission jointly with the Education Ministry is conducting a large statistical analyses of the final and entrance examinations. "The results of the analyses will be divulged in October-November," Abbaszadeh said.
