KNRTU-KAI

Sources

• Basic information about the educational organization https://kai.ru/sveden/common

  The official page confirms KNRTU-KAI's Russian and English names, abbreviations, and main address at Karl Marx Street 10, Kazan.

  It was used to identify the new catalogue entry; the basic-information page does not describe profile choice, a minor model, or free electives.

• Higher education at KNRTU-KAI https://kai.ru/university-education

  The official overview page describes KNRTU-KAI higher education as 40 bachelor's and specialist fields, seven specialist programs, 21 master's fields, six institutes, and a Physics and Mathematics Faculty.

  It shows the institutional undergraduate/specialist context and does not contain an independent major/minor architecture or open curriculum.

• Educational organization disclosure: education https://kai.ru/sveden/education

  The official disclosure table lists programs by code, profile, level, study mode, standard duration, and curriculum links.

  Bachelor's and specialist rows were checked: bachelor's programs include 4-year programs, some part-time variants run 4.5-5 years, and specialist fields 24.05.02 and 24.05.07 are listed as 5 years 6 months.

  The table confirms a 4-5.5 year duration range and shows study through separate programs and profiles rather than a common undergraduate pool with minors.

• Department of Automation and Control: 27.03.04 Control in Technical Systems https://kai.ru/web/kafedra-avtomatiki-i-upravlenia/abiturientu

  The department page describes 27.03.04 Control in Technical Systems with two training profiles and explicitly states that after admission to KNRTU-KAI but before classes begin, the student chooses a training profile, after which the department and dean's office assign the student to a group.

  It also says that changing the field and profile is handled by the dean's office and department head.

  This supports programChoice = 2 as post-admission choice of the main profile track; no separate minor or major-plus-minor model was found.

• Procedure and grounds for transfer, dismissal, and reinstatement of students https://kai.ru/documents/1459798/9695044/%D0%9F-8.1.8.3.6+-2017+%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BA+%D0%B8+%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0+%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%87%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%B8+%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F+%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%8E%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%85%D1%81%D1%8F.pdf/01988c61-26ac-4ac9-927f-e8d0e70c745c

  The internal procedure describes transfer as an application-based process subject to vacant places; internal and external transfer use an attestation commission, competitive selection when applications exceed places, and analysis of curriculum differences.

  This limits the programChoice interpretation: after the initial profile choice, later main-track changes are not shown as free major choice but as administrative transfer.

• Local regulations on educational activity https://kai.ru/web/ucebno-metodiceskoe-upravlenie/lokal-nye-normativnye-akty-po-voprosam-osusestvlenia-obrazovatel-noj-deatel-nosti

  The academic-methodological office page contains local acts on educational programs, individual study plans, recognition of external results, and taking facultative and elective disciplines.

  It states that facultative and elective choices are made within set deadlines and enrollment is based on a student application.

  The source confirms a formal choice procedure, but does not show a free university-wide required-elective pool or a regular cross-registration model.

• Facultatives in higher-education programs https://kai.ru/web/studentu-uceba/fakultativy-po-obrazovatel-nym-programmam-vo

  The student page explains that the list of facultative disciplines is defined in the educational program and shown in the curriculum; facultative choice is voluntary, and students may choose any number or none.

  It separately states that students may attend university-wide facultative disciplines by personal application.

  Because facultatives are voluntary and outside the required program workload, they do not raise courseChoice; only B1.V.DV blocks in curricula were counted.

• Curriculum for 27.03.04 Control in Technical Systems, 2025 intake https://umk.kai.ru/2025_УП1_342_18_1234828.PDF

  The bachelor's curriculum fixes the Automatic Control Systems for Unmanned Vehicles profile, full-time mode, a 4-year duration, and a 2025 intake year.

  The required program contains B1.V.DV.01 and B1.V.DV.02 blocks with alternatives inside the engineering program; FTD and FTD.DV are placed in a separate facultative block.

  This supports courseChoice = 1: course choice exists, but it is limited to predefined alternatives inside the specific program.

• Curriculum for 24.05.07 Aircraft and Helicopter Engineering, 2025 intake https://umk.kai.ru/2025_УП1_354_106_1261980.PDF

  The specialist curriculum fixes 24.05.07, the technological design of high-life aircraft and helicopter structures profile, full-time mode, and a 5.5-year duration.

  It contains B1.V.07.DV and B1.V.DV alternatives such as wing vibration, aeroelasticity, and aircraft testing disciplines; facultatives are separated into their own block.

  The source confirms the longest found duration of 5.5 years and shows the same limited in-profile course choice in an aviation specialist program.

• Curriculum for 38.05.01 Economic Security, 2026 intake https://umk.kai.ru/2025_УП1_347_110_1235451.PDF

  The 38.05.01 specialist curriculum fixes the Economic and Legal Support of Economic Security profile, full-time mode, a 5-year duration, and a 2026 intake year.

  It contains several B1.V.DV blocks with alternatives in forensic expertise, internal control, financial monitoring, and economic security; FTD is described separately as facultative disciplines.

  The socioeconomic-program check confirms that course choice is not limited to engineering fields, but remains choice among program alternatives rather than a free pool.

• Higher Education Monitoring 2025: KNRTU-KAI https://monitoring.miccedu.ru/iam/2025/_vpo/inst.php?id=87

  The 2025 higher education monitoring profile reports 11,707 bachelor, specialist, and master students across all study modes.

  The bachelor and specialist fields are calculated from the published shares: bachelor students are 75.16% and master students are 16.04%. The profile does not give a separate specialist share, so the specialist value is a derived remainder.
