The journalists say it can compete for the title of the best. The prospective students are met and showed around by the current students, two secretaries help each applicant to fill in the documents. While one secretary accepts the paper documents, helps and advises, the second one enters the data into the electronic database. So it takes about 10-15 minutes only to submit the documents for one specialty.

The work stations of the secretaries are equipped with webcams that attach the instant pictures of the applicants to the personal file of each applicant and then to the Unified national electronic education database. In a separate room there are the experts who summarize the electronic information and, if necessary, provide legal advice to applicants on paperwork, including the benefits.
