On August 27, the entrance exam to Inha University in Tashkent took place. This is the third and final recruitment of the University this year. Two other recruits were also held online in June-July. The total number of registered applicants this year is over 1,600.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entrance exams for the 2020-2021 academic year were held online for the first time. All applicants who successfully passed registration were divided into two streams – applicants from the Faculty of Logistics and the Faculty of Computer and Software Engineering.
At the same time, the applicants entered the active link to the online exam using the ZOOM application, downloaded the exam task to their computer and started to solve. This year there are 6 questions in mathematics – they must be solved in writing within 30 minutes. After the expiration of time, the applicants showed the answer sheet to the observer through ZOOM, and then photographed this sheet on a smartphone and send it to the checking commission.The instances shown through ZOOM and the instances sent via mail will be compared while checking.
It should be noted that representatives of INHA University in South Korea watched the exam process through ZOOM. No one from the Tashkent university was admitted to the observations. The exam was attended by 50 supervising representatives of the Korean Inha University.
“Of course, we were very worried when preparing for the online entrance tests, because this is the first time we have had such an experience. And this year will undoubtedly go down in history. To some extent, the pandemic has had a positive impact on the sphere of higher education: many universities have switched from a classical educational model to a distance learning model, and this has become a real experiment.
We were a little worried about the organizational side of the issue, how we, the Korean side, on which lay the entire technical moment of the exams, and whether there will be technical problems with communication among applicants, because many guys are thousands of kilometers away, and some are in different time zones from examiner. But everything went smoothly , today the third and final entrance exam of this year has passed. The system for conducting this kind of tests has now been fully worked out, which makes us very happy and proud of the results demonstrated by our applicants,
