Since 2010, winners of international subject olympiads in Azerbaijan can enter university without exams.
According to Maleyka Abbaszadeh, head of the State Examination Center, since 2019 winners of national olympiads also enjoy this right.
This privilege applies only to the field of the olympiad. For example, a music winner cannot enter medical school.
School grades may differ from exam results. Therefore, final exams are the main criterion for admission.
