An interagency commission met in Astana to allocate state education grants and university places for service members drafted in autumn 2025. Representatives of the country’s security agencies attended the meeting.
The commission allocated 1,040 places at civilian and departmental universities. The Ministry of Science and Higher Education provided 800 state education grants, while universities run by security agencies offered another 240 places.
The selection process was held digitally through the “Срочники 2.0” platform. Candidates were assessed on combat training results, military discipline, performance of their duties, psychological readiness and test results.
