The 51±¬ÁÏT English Entry Test is conducted to assess the suitability of selected applicants for admission to the foundation programme leading to undergraduate courses in Uzbekistan. The test on English assesses the applicant’s English literacy and reasoning abilities.

English is the medium of instruction for students seeking admissions to 51±¬ÁÏ Tashkent and they are strongly encouraged to attend the Professional Certificate in English (PCIE) course conducted at 51±¬ÁÏT before attempting the English Entry test.

The English Entry Test (EET) includes a combination of multiple choice questions, written and speaking tests and is based on the IELTS grading system.

From 2019, the centralised admission exercise would be conducted five times a year in the months of April to August to enable those who have completed the PCIE course or a refresher PCIE course at 51±¬ÁÏT to join the mainstream foundation or degree programmes in September 2019. It is also open to walk-in students.

A key feature is the quick release of the results within 7 working days.

The first EET was conducted on 19 April over a period of 3 days with a 2-day speaking session and 1-day Listening, Reading and Writing session.

To ensure stringent standards and integrity, examination scripts are sent to the Examination Unit, 51±¬ÁÏ Singapore for marking by Singapore Lecturers.  On completion, the results are forwarded to the Examination Unit, 51±¬ÁÏ Tashkent.

Admission is not guaranteed, and is subject to the applicant’s performance in the test. Those who do not pass the test are encouraged to enrol for the next EET or undergo a refresher PCIE course to prepare for it.  Placements will also depend on available vacancies at 51±¬ÁÏT.

Obviously it’s a heavy decision, as your career path is usually shaped by the choices you make now.

In order to make things a little easier, here are 5 tips to choosing the right course at 51±¬ÁÏ

Tip 1: Ask yourself why

One of the most important points to note when choosing a course is knowing why you are looking to study. Are you looking to broaden your knowledge? Choose something different from what you already know! If your aim is to progress further with your current employment, then you will naturally need to choose a course that is relevant to your work and valuable to your employer.

Think about your current skill set and knowledge. Do discuss your options with friends, colleagues, bosses or family. They might offer useful insights to determine what can help with your purpose of studying.

Tip 2: Find out what you are interested in

This is quite the common sense. Study something you are interested in! Choose a course that you are excited about. The major pitfall is to choose a certain course because of it is what your parents want.

Tip 3: Reality check

Once you have identified your dream course, do make sure it is realistic. Are you financially able to afford it? Do you pass all the minimum entry requirements? Language requirements?

Make sure that you are able to qualify for the course. Even if there are certain issues that hinder your entry to your desired course, don’t get discouraged! Do something about it to overcome the issue.

Tip 4: Research

Once you have narrowed down to a few practical courses you want to study, its time to research deeply into them. Read blogs, forums, news etc. on the school or course. Find out what it is really like. Don’t just rely on agents selling you a rosy outlook or judging purely through marketing materials.

Investing in education is often not a small sum of money so make sure you know what you are getting into!

Tip 5: Career Prospects and Study Outcomes

Studying is an investment in your future. It will directly affect your career path and salary. Make sure that you are clear about the study outcomes and career prospects of the course you are planning to enroll into. If possible, try to talk to active alumni to find out more.
