Bachelor's track
Ages 16–23, no prior higher education, and holding (or completing) a secondary-education credential that qualifies you for university admission.
Open Doors Russian Scholarship Project
RusPath Exam separates public information from the secured testing room. Candidates can study the program, universities, subject areas, rules, scoring model, and then enter a 45-question simulated second-round exam.
Start your registration today — a free consultation call, lower fees than most agencies, and dozens of successful placements in past years.
Page 1 · Program
Open Doors is an international online scholarship competition organized by the Association of Global Universities with support from Russian public institutions. It gives talented international candidates a streamlined route to study at leading Russian universities.
For Bachelor and Master tracks, the competition has two main stages: portfolio and entrance testing in the first stage, followed by second-round subject tasks. This site focuses on the second round for Bachelor-level preparation.
Page 2 · Eligibility
These are the official Open Doors eligibility rules published by the organizers. RusPath is an independent registration and preparation service — we help you meet these requirements, but the final criteria and results are decided by the official Open Doors competition.
Ages 16–23, no prior higher education, and holding (or completing) a secondary-education credential that qualifies you for university admission.
Holding a Bachelor's degree or equivalent, or in your final year of one.
Open to international applicants, stateless persons, and compatriots living abroad — not open to Russian citizens.
Programs are offered in Russian or English. If you need it, a one-year preparatory Russian course is available and your place stays reserved.
Selection is based on your portfolio and a subject-specific entrance test — not a separate university entrance exam.
Registration typically closes around 1 November each year — after that, your account and portfolio are locked for that cycle.

Page 3 · System
Program, universities, subject areas, scoring, rules, institutional use are available before the exam.
The exam area checks internet speed, camera, microphone, full-screen mode, and entire-screen sharing before access.
Every exam type contains exactly 45 tasks with answers or model answers. Candidates cannot finish with unanswered tasks.
Tab switching, leaving fullscreen, losing focus, ending screen share, and restricted keyboard actions are monitored.
Page 4 · Universities
University choice is not placed on the main exam entry. In the Russian scholarship process, second-round tasks are subject-area based; university placement comes later through the official selection process.

Page 8 · Why Candidates Register
Every registered candidate gets a locked exam room built to match Open Doors conditions: the same timing, the same security checks, the same discipline. Nothing about it is a casual quiz.
Camera, microphone, full-screen, and entire-screen sharing are checked before entry — the same discipline as exam day, not a relaxed practice mode.
Every attempt uses the same structured 45-question format per subject, so you build real familiarity instead of memorizing a random quiz.
Your registration is checked by a real administrator before you get login access — only your chosen subjects are unlocked for you, nothing more.
A locked attempt after repeated violations isn't the end — you can reset and try again as many times as you need before the real round.
Page 9 · FAQ
It depends on how many subject areas you register for and what stage of support you need — we'll give you the exact figure on your free consultation call. What we can say up front: our fees are lower than most similar agencies and intermediaries, and there's no cost just to ask.
Open Doors is a competitive, merit-based process run by the official organizers — no one can guarantee an admission outcome. What RusPath guarantees is full support and follow-through on your registration process itself: document preparation, portfolio guidance, and second-round exam practice, all the way through.
Yes. Your information and documents are used only for your registration process and are never shared with third parties without your consent.
After you submit your registration, an administrator typically reviews it within 24–48 hours. From there, timing depends on document checks, the official Open Doors calendar, and how quickly you complete each step — your consultation call is the best place to get a realistic timeline for your situation.
No — Open Doors offers programs in both Russian and English, and a one-year preparatory Russian course is available if you need it, with your place reserved while you complete it.
A personal photo, your Tazkira/ID scan, and your passport. You can also add other supporting documents (certificates, transcripts) — those are optional.

The platform is designed for education centers that want a controlled preparation environment. It can be extended later with accounts, dashboards, CSV export, a larger question bank, and mentor review.
Current storage is kept on the candidate's device for simple progress review while preserving the realistic exam flow.
