Enrollment at faculties: The lists are out, the roll call is waiting

Some colleges have published the final rankings, some only preliminary, while some are still nothing. The situation is rather motley, but everything will finally be known when the roll call is over

The final and preliminary ranking lists for enrollment in basic studies began to be released slowly at the Belgrade faculties. On some lists, there are as many places as you want, while on others there are a large number of those who are below the line. There is a noticeable trend of declining interest in some faculties.

255 candidates applied for the journalism major at the Faculty of Political Sciences (FPN). 53 enrolled in the budget, while 117 of them are self-financed. The rest - 95 of them remained below the line. In the field of Social Work, 31 students will not pay tuition, while 69 are ranked as self-financing students.

For the studies of International Relations and Political Science at FPN, candidates are ranked on a common list, because the admission is exactly the same - which allows them to apply for both majors, and subsequently choose one. 414 candidates applied there.

At the Faculty of Philology, only 45 students opted for the Serbian language and literature course, of which 41 are on the budget, and 4 are self-financed. This shows how many vacancies remain, and how low the demand for this occupation is. In the field of Serbian literature and language with comparative studies, the situation is still "dark" - there are only 33 students on the final list.

Thus, for example, more young people applied for painting at the Academy of Fine Arts than for the Serbian language and literature - 45, while there were 28 above the red line. The last one on the list who got in has a large number of points, as many as 87.59.

Ten students enrolled in the acting study program at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, while as many as 396 students applied for the entrance exam. Eight enrolled in film and television directing, and 68 applied.

945 candidates were accepted for the Mechanical Engineering major at the faculty of the same name, of which 520 were budgeted, and 100 were self-financed. At the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, a huge number of students applied for the Electrical Engineering major - as many as 1.116 of them, while there are only 540 places for future freshmen. All those who entered had more or less good averages in high school.

The preliminary ranking list of the Faculty of Forestry has 50 names, while the only condition for the budget is to transfer 51 points, which all candidates did.

At the Faculty of Geography, there are 71 future students on the preliminary list for the geography major.

The Faculty of Organizational Sciences, where several students are fighting for a place in one of the three courses of basic studies, the results are still not out.

Some faculties, such as the Faculty of Economics, do not have public lists, but candidates can find themselves based on their surname or application number.

It should be borne in mind that the final rankings are not a realistic indicator of the number of candidates who will enroll in a specific faculty or major. Some, actually most of them had a plan B in reserve, so they probably applied to two, three places. The exact number and schedule of future students will be known only after the roll calls that will be held on Wednesday and Thursday.

Of course, there is also an additional one - the September enrollment deadline, but it will have a significant impact only on faculties where there are many vacancies.
