Well, I am from there and my husband and friends are many, very many!
Many work in their specialty, those who walked by conviction, they work. Those who are behind the base also work, but not in their specialty.
There are a lot of old people about work and design bureaus, but there are a lot of pluses here, because career growth is good in the future and ... Personnel is everything, but you have to work a lot, participate in scientific competitions every year and start with a maximum of 30,000, but .. if you work, then ...
Well, this is the case everywhere. Well, you can go to Boeing, etc. salaries there are different, but !! if as a student he went to the Boeing Design Bureau and closed it for himself.
Conclusion: Education is good, the demand for specialists is and will continue to grow, it is not a problem to work in the specialty, there is career growth, but ... in the design bureau you have to work and be a slave to the system (secrecy) ...
To Baumanka.
An acquaintance graduated from the second tower of the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) now (a year ago) in aircraft construction. Sits in his pants on Khrunichev. He does all the work for the elderly team (writes thick reports of some kind). There are options to get a job in Airbus or Boeing. But they mostly need draftsmen (AutoCAD).
So definitely Baumanka. Even if it is mechanical engineering IMHO. Baumanka is incomparably stronger than MAI in terms of teaching staff and students. There is something to strive for, there is someone to look up to and there are no freebies like in MAI, it will plow, study! In general, I regret a little that I went to Moscow State University, and not to Baumanka for the department, which my brother graduated from (IU). My parents graduated from rocketry, but due to the fact that rocketry we had a total decline, in the 90s they retrained and do not work in their specialty.
Well ... they do not evaluate one by one ... Draftsmen, by the way, are needed less than those experts in aerodynamics. About freebies in MAI ... very controversial. My husband does not write reports and does not sit out his pants, maybe this is the "secret". Pi this, he has young guys under his command, and so he often complains that they don't need anything ... they came ... sat and don't strive for anywhere ... and not from young people ... he has Seryozha there, 40 years old, not married, lives with his mother and "what will, what bondage .. it doesn't matter"
Everything depends on the person!
I called my husband ... Here is his layout.
Cash: Applied Mathematics Faculty 8
Generally demanded: aviation engineering 1 faculty.
But everyone is in demand.
For Boeing, hardeners are needed there.
Will go to aerodynamics, to my husband in the brigade for practice or work, they will always be happy))) there is not enough personnel! But it's better to go to Faculty 8!
About "the industry has withered" ... has not withered, on the contrary, it is developing and will not wither ... now the design bureau is starting work on the 6th generation.
It is a pity, they do not pay as much as in commerce, but "work with a soul."

History
The birth and development of the Moscow Aviation Institute is closely connected with the needs of the developing aviation, with the activities of Professor N.E. Zhukovsky, on whose initiative in 1909, at the Imperial Moscow Technical School (now the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E.Bauman), a course on the theoretical foundations of aeronautics began. ...
On September 17, 1929, by order of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR (No. 124), the aviation department of the mechanical faculty of MVTU was transformed into the aeromechanical faculty.
On March 20, 1930, on the basis of the aeromechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, by order of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR, the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU) was created.
On August 20, 1930, the Moscow Aviation Institute was created on the basis of VAMU. At first, classes were held on Olkhovskaya Street, then the university was provided with a building on 5th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. By the beginning of the academic year (1930-1931), students of the aviation faculty of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute - 120 people - and the Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people were transferred to VAMU. As part of MAI, as well as in VAMU, there were three departments: aircraft building, engine building and aeronautics.
In 1930-1931, the structure of the institute was being formed. Aeronautical faculty was renamed to Airship building.
On September 22, 1932, by the decision of the Central Control Commission-RCI, the Moscow Airship Building Institute was formed on the basis of the Airship Building Faculty of the MAI, which, by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated April 8, 1939, was reorganized into the Moscow Institute of Civil Air Fleet Engineers named after I. K.E. Tsiolkovsky (Later, the Russian State Technological University named after K.E. Tsiolkovsky).
By 1933, the first own building of the institute was built (now building No. 3 of the Faculty of Control Systems) at the fork of the Volokolamskoye and Leningradskoye highways, where the main territory of the university is located to this day.
On March 10, 1933, on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Engineering and Economic Institute (MAIEI) and the departments of organization of production and specific economics, the Engineering and Economics Faculty of the MAI was organized.
On December 16, 1935, by decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the name of the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze was given.
By the fall of 1941, the government decided to evacuate the institute to Alma-Ata. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the question of resuming the activities of the institute in Moscow was raised, and already on February 2, 1942, the educational process began in the Moscow premises of the institute.
In 1945, the achievements of the MAI staff during the war were marked with a high government award - the Order of Lenin. In addition, 119 teachers, staff and students of the institute were awarded orders and medals.

In 1945, the department of special (jet) engines was created at the MAI (the head of the department is Professor N.V. Inozemtsev). With this, the MAI began training specialists in air-jet and liquid-jet engines, and then in other rocket specialties.
In 1956, a group of teachers from the Moscow Aviation Institute went to Beijing to provide organizational and methodological assistance in the establishment of the Beijing Aviation Institute (PAI), now renamed the Beihang University (Beijing Aerospace University). For a number of years, the teachers of the Moscow Aviation Institute conducted all types of training sessions at the PAI.

In 1956-1975, the second stage of the construction of the MAI was carried out. The number of classrooms, educational and scientific laboratories, industrial premises was brought to 35. With the growth of the institute, its structure also changed, new faculties and departments were added. The result of this stage was the transformation of the Aviation Institute, previously focused mainly on aircraft and partially helicopter technology, into the Aerospace Polytechnic University, which provides training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.
In 1959, the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction was created to train specialists in the field of rocket and space technology. From the moment of organization and until 1990, the department was headed by the first deputy chief designer S. P. Korolev, academician V. P. Mishin (graduate of the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1941). The department laid the foundation for extensive training for the rocket and space industry and served as the basis for the subsequent organization (1968) of the Aerospace Faculty.
In 1967, at the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction, the first in the USSR student design bureau of space technology "Iskra" was created.
In 1970, in accordance with an intergovernmental agreement between the USSR and India (1966), MAI took part in the creation of the Faculty of Aviation Technology at the Bombay Institute of Technology. More than 20 professors and teachers of the Moscow Aviation Institute worked at the BTI from 1970 to 1974.
On October 26, 1978 in the Soviet Union, the first successful launch of the student artificial Earth satellite "Radio-2", created by SKB MAI "Iskra", was carried out.
In 1980, for its great contribution to the training of specialists, in the year of its fiftieth anniversary, the institute was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.
In 1998, the Faculty of Foreign Languages was established, which trains public relations specialists and linguists for the aviation industry.
| Your university has made a significant contribution to the development of domestic science, aviation and rocket and space industries. Over the past years, he has trained more than 140 thousand graduates, including famous scientists, cosmonauts, managers and leading engineers of aerospace and defense enterprises. Today, MAI conducts fundamental and applied research in a number of areas, including nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The Institute has a modern technical base and a unique infrastructure and is rightfully ranked among the national research universities. |
On March 31, 2015, by order of the Ministry of Education and Science, MAI was reorganized by joining MATI.
University today
The mission of MAI is to train the world elite of engineering personnel through advanced research at all stages of the life cycle of aviation, rocket and space technology.
MAI has extensive ties with industry and is one of the most demanded universities in the country in the field of training for the military-industrial complex of Russia.
A distinctive way of training students at MAI is to send them to specialized enterprises, where, under the guidance of industry specialists, they carry out specialized coursework and diploma projects, undergo all types of internships, for which the enterprises pay for their work and assign additional scholarships. This helps students see their prospects in enterprises, and employers - the abilities of their future specialists. For this type of training, MAI has concluded agreements with more than 100 organizations. The enterprises provide internships and university teachers.
MAI implements a targeted recruitment in accordance with the state plan for training personnel with secondary vocational and higher education for organizations of the military-industrial complex (MIC) for 2016-2020 (Government Decree Russian Federation dated March 5, 2015 No. 192).
In 2015, MAI took first place among the most demanded defense industry organizations subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, educational institutions countries.
Training of students on the basis of MAI is carried out on the principle of end-to-end design of all systems of aviation, rocket and space technology. For this, the university has created a unique laboratory base corresponding to up-to-date industrial development. These are full-scale samples of equipment, including airplanes, helicopters, missiles, weapons systems, robotics, avionics and radar, wind tunnels, flight simulators, an industrial computational tomograph, an installation for fusing metal powder materials, a powder X-ray diffractometer, an experimental vacuum stand, a set of equipment for researching micro- and nanoparticles, the measuring complex of the laboratory for the creation of high-precision ultra-wideband radio systems and others.
On the basis of research laboratories, resource centers, design bureaus, students undergo training in the framework of UIRS, SRWS, and some of them participate in R&D. The defense of diploma projects for the creation of aircraft was also organized.
Special profile subjects at MAI are taught by heads of industrial enterprises: M. A. Pogosyan, B. V. Obnosov, B. S. Alyoshin, E. N. Kablov, V. A. Sorokin, S. Yu. Zheltov and others.
The Moscow Aviation Institute trains specialists for all Russian cosmodromes:
- Baikonur (Baikonur);
- Plesetsk (Mirny);
- "Vostochny" (Tsiolkovsky).
In 2009, MAI entered into a tripartite agreement with the Amur state university(AmSU) and the Government of the Amur Region on the training of specialists for the new Russian Vostochny cosmodrome with a degree in Design, production and operation of rockets and rocket-space complexes. In January 2015, the first graduation of 23 students took place. Currently, within the framework of a tripartite agreement, 88 students from AmSU are studying at MAI.
MAI implements additional educational programs of various duration and focus (technical English language, business foreign language). In addition, over 3,000 pilots and air traffic controllers of civil aviation of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries have been trained in aviation English in accordance with ICAO standards at the Faculty of Foreign Languages of the Moscow Aviation Institute, as part of educational programs being implemented in recent years, as well as training for flight attendants, qualification testing to determine the level of proficiency English in accordance with the ICAO scale. Faculty specialists provide translation services.
The international cooperation
MAI trains foreign students from 57 countries, including 10 CIS countries. The largest training contracts have been concluded with the countries of Southeast Asia (Malaysia, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Republic of the Unions of Myanmar, the Republic of Korea, etc.), as well as with India, China, Algeria, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil, Angola. Many foreign graduates of the Moscow Aviation Institute hold leadership positions in their countries. Currently, more than 1,500 foreign citizens are trained at the MAI and its branches.
In September 2015, MAI opened training under the bachelor's program in the direction of "Aviation" in five profiles, in which foreign students study in English for four years. In addition, an agreement was signed with the Nanjing University of Astronautics and Aeronautics, the largest university in China, on double degree programs.
The Moscow Aviation Institute takes an active part in international associations such as:
- Worldwide Engineering Education Initiative (CDIO);
- Association of Technical Universities of Russia and China;
- European Association of Aerospace Universities PEGASUS;
- International Council for Aviation Sciences (ICAS);
- International Astronautical Federation (IAF).
MAI program "Scientific and pedagogical youth"
The university has developed and is implementing its own personnel program of the MAI "Scientific and pedagogical youth", the purpose of which is to saturate the teaching staff of the university with young scientists. The program includes sections: "Target postgraduate study and doctoral studies" - organization and financing of the preparation of dissertations by graduate students and doctoral students who have entered into a civil law agreement with the institute on additional funding for their studies in graduate school and work within 3-5 years after graduation as teachers ; "Qualification growth" - organization and financing of the preparation of dissertations by young employees of the institute; "Rejuvenation of teaching staff" - the organization of the systematic replacement of the teaching staff by young scientists.
Career guidance work
MAI conducts career guidance work with schoolchildren in grades 5-11, which covers many schools and specialized technical schools in Moscow. According to the approved curricula of the Moscow Aviation Institute, at 38 basic schools university teachers conduct additional classes in mathematics, physics and Russian.
The Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) was included in the list of 13 Moscow universities participating in the educational project "Engineering class in a Moscow school". MAI implements additional professional programs for teaching staff of engineering classes, conducts seminars for teachers and career guidance events for schoolchildren, including: master classes for students, excursions to engineering enterprises, implementation of elective courses.
Employment Center MAI
In order to facilitate the employment of graduates and the adaptation of students to the labor market, the MAI Employment Center has been operating at the university since 1996.
The Center is a member of the Association of Employment Centers of Moscow Universities and is the coordination structure of the Association. The staff of the center takes an active part in the work of the Interuniversity Career Development Center, as well as in the work of the Employment Commission of the Council of Rectors of Universities of Moscow and the Moscow Region. The database of the MAI employment center contains more than 200 employing companies interested in university graduates.
According to a survey conducted in 2015, over 70% of MAI graduates work at specialized enterprises of the aviation and rocket and space industries.

A unique type of educational process is the flight-operational practice of students, conducted since 1973 at the Aviation Center (near the village of Alferyevo, Volokolamsk region), which has an airfield, aircraft, qualified flight and technical personnel.
During a month of practice, students, first at the aerobatic stands of the institute, and then at the Aviation Center, comprehend the art of piloting airplanes. This allows future designers to become more closely acquainted with the aerobatic characteristics of aircraft.
This practice is not carried out in any other university in Russia or abroad. Over a 35-year period, it has reached over 3,500 students.
A lot of work on the creation of its methodology, organization and implementation was awarded the prize of the Government of the Russian Federation.
Ratings
In 2015, he was included in the top 200 of the Round University Ranking (RUR) among 10 Russian universities.
He told the Slovo portal about where and how graduates of the Moscow Aviation Institute work Mikhail Yurievich Kuprikov, MAI Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor.
- Please tell us how much the MAI graduates are in demand?
There are no MAI graduates at the labor exchange. MAI graduates are consumed by six corporations. Those who work according to targeted orders, according to targeted methods, who lead the basic departments. Tactical missile weapons, OAP, Rostekhnologii, Roskosmos, everything that flies is MAI graduates. We also train for the social sphere - we train economists who go to municipal administration. Medikov - engineering in biomedical problems. Therefore, in general, we are adapted to the needs of the regions.
- Are your graduates in demand abroad?
There are a lot of our employees abroad. We don’t cook "abroad". But they go there with pleasure. The trouble is that our enterprises are not in a position to compete with Western firms. We have quite vivid examples of career lifts that took place in Western firms. For example, Boeing now employs about a thousand of our graduates, and many of our graduates at Airbas. Alexander Yarmonsky was the chief designer of the A350 center section while working in the USA. There are some inclusions when you can show a successful career in Western scientific schools.
- Is it easy for graduates to find work immediately after graduation?
The fact is that they start looking for work while they are still studying, during practice. They find themselves in their workplace somewhere else in their third year. Design, technological, pre-diploma practice. As a rule, career guidance work begins at this stage. Those who are suitable for this trajectory conclude contracts for targeted training and go to these jobs. The practice is very well implemented with the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Most of the employees of the Sukhoi Design Bureau are graduates of the Moscow Aviation Institute. KB Mikoyan, across the street, they go out for a diploma, and classes are held at the enterprise. We have two dozen basic departments. Basic departments are an educational process carried out on the territory of the enterprise. Basic departments in TsAG and LII, TNDK Beriev, GosNias.
- Working at these enterprises, can you provide your family with a decent existence?
Everything in the world is relative. There will always be enough for a piece of bread. It's very hard to live in Moscow. The salary level for a graduate of the Moscow Aviation Institute is from 20 to 100 thousand. There are those who get a job even for a hundred thousand. It depends on the competencies that the person possesses. A person who speaks computer-aided design systems, English - he is in demand. If the engineer is the first higher education, parallel education in linguistics and some other managerial or economic education - then it is in demand on the entry market, and attractive for Western firms. And if a person just received an engineering education, he goes to forty thousand in a design bureau and then decides for himself whether forty thousand is enough for him to live with his family or not. So there is an incentive. And most importantly, we provide an opportunity for such growth, provide an opportunity for these competencies. We have an institute of foreign languages. We have purchased licenses for teaching English from AirMid Technical University of Melbourne and teach pilots and controllers the English language at the right level. This is a specific area of knowledge, no one teaches this. And it turned out that Australia is closer than any other European scientific school. We train pilots and dispatchers from Transaero, Siberia, Aeroflot, and Russia airlines. Therefore, there is an opportunity for growth and self-realization. And then everyone decides for himself what level he goes to. The university should provide these opportunities and we have been successful so far.
Our employers lack engineering graduates. There are many more engineering programs than we produce engineers. We are given specific admission numbers - they are given by the Ministry, they are given by the employer, and these control numbers are taken apart by the same corporations - UAC, Russian Technologies, Tactical Missiles, etc. But there are not enough graduates for the rest of the labor market. Therefore, hunger arises.
- Are there those among the graduates who do not work in their specialty?
What does specialty mean? This name is very arbitrary. If he studied to design airplanes, and works as the owner of an airline - is that his specialty? It's about airplanes, but not design. I decided not to sit at the drawing board, but to operate the aircraft. For example, Transaero is headed by our graduates. From a formal point of view, this is not a specialty. And from the point of view of human logic, they have risen above their qualifications. Airline owners are not specially trained.
According to some teachers, there is such a problem - students do not want to study. Does your university have such a problem and how do you solve it?
There are different problems. If courses are offered that are addictive and addictive, then students learn with pleasure. Let me give you an example. I am the head of the Department of Engineering Graphics. If you let me draw by hand, who will love it? It's hard, routine. And if you give computer graphics, animation, they are happy to sit and tinker. When you look at the screenshots from the screens - there are 4 in the morning, 5 in the morning. It is necessary to give those forms that are in demand today by the market, are in demand by society and are in the trend of modern information technologies.
Do you agree that the level of knowledge of the applicants does not correspond to the requirements of the university?
The problem of fathers and children has always existed. They will always say that the preparation before was better, deeper, further, smarter, etc. New generation, new requirements, new tasks force us to develop. Nothing can be done about it. One of the forms is the Unified State Exam.
I would focus on something else. It is much more important that applicants are able to survive in their first year. In the first semester, we are already expelling in dozens. About 30% within five years is a deduction. In the first year, 10-15% goes against deductions. Further, in senior courses, another 2-3%. Not so critical anymore. And the first and second semesters are the main task to keep. And how they were recruited - through the exam or not - is completely irrelevant. It is important whether a person can learn or not. Sometimes even primary knowledge is not so important, but rather learning skills. Tutors can train you on a lot, on the standards of answers. After all, it is no secret that if you teach how to answer, you can get a completely acceptable result, even if the person does not understand anything about what he is answering. It is important to have a learning skill.
For MAI, it is fundamental that there is no USE in physics in the mandatory list. Because it is impossible to teach an engineer without physics. For us, this is critical, fundamental, and when students without physics come to engine or aircraft construction, this is a disaster. And there are fewer applicants with physics than our admission target figures for engineering universities as a whole. Therefore, there is a fairly large deficit in this area. And when we put the exam in natural science instead of the exam in physics, in order to do the addition, unfortunately, the level of competence of these applicants drops sharply.
Interviewed by Anna Volkova
I am the mother of a third year student. The son is studying to be a programmer. It is very difficult to study, three skins are ripped off. Especially in the first year, especially Vestyak!) But those who really want to study, and did not come just for a crust, they are always afloat. For three years, according to his son, either those who clearly did not manage to pull and transferred to another university in an easier way, or those who “forgot” to study at all, did not appear at lectures, did not take laboratory tests, tests and exams were expelled.
My eldest son finished his studies at the 1st faculty this year and entered graduate school without exams. When I defended my diploma, the audience applauded. I can say that it is difficult to study, it will not work out, the granite of science needs to be gnawed. Teachers of a high level and old school, they forge today's highly qualified personnel. Of the 27 people who entered the department with my son, only three came to the finish line. But these are specialists of the highest level. Employers are ready to take them on any terms. 02.07 with the youngest son also submitted documents to MAI. As for the admissions committee, I agree, it's a complete mess, it's surprising that for so many years people who have been organizing the admission of applicants have not bothered to monitor other universities (but what about them?) Or at least move the admissions committee to the recreation center, where there are chairs. The greatest inconvenience is that you cannot choose faculties by priority in one place, I had to go through this hell twice.
It will be difficult at first. The most common question in my head will be "why do I need it?" will concern first of all tracing, injegraph, chemistry. We'll have to come to terms with what is needed, and clenching our teeth to hand over to teach, cram, objects. Should I buy blueprints? In my opinion, only as a last resort. Trust a person who is not adapted for drawing in any way - any drawing can be handed over, having bothered the teacher with his diligence and constant correction of the jambs indicated by the teacher (I did not get paid by the engineer), but the purchased drawings are burned right away and there is a risk of being sent with them ... After the first setbacks in the session, there may be a strong desire to dump somewhere where it is easier. Even not passing the exam in three attempts and leaving for paid courses is not at all a reason to realize this desire, especially if there is only one tail. These are the difficulties, future freshmen.
MAI is at my side. She taught at a nearby school, many students went to MAI, and mostly C grade students. In my opinion, everyone who wanted to did it. Information from 7 years ago. This one faculty remained strong there, programming. In our school, there used to be grades 9-11, which were taught by teachers from the Moscow Aviation Institute, 15 years ago they were in great demand, there was a competition. 7 years ago, they took everyone there indiscriminately, now they cannot recruit for one subgroup in the class. I think that MAI can be seen as a fallback. I graduated from Moscow State University VMK myself, three years ago my son (budget) graduated. It is difficult to study and they do not take any bribes there, they tear three skins. On the course, my son has less than half of the course left for the diploma, and the paysites are kicked out without hesitation, the son's classmate (the paysite) flew out of the 2nd year and landed at the Moscow Aviation Institute, and finished it without much bothering. But in general I am not very happy, as they teach at the VMK now, the specialists from Baumansky are much stronger.
Hello, periodically looking through the records, I noticed that there are very few leaks about MAI. Well, here's my review of the MAI. I skipped the 11th grade, to put it mildly, and therefore I passed the exam unimportantly, I passed 5 subjects: Russian, mathematics, English, social studies, and as a reserve I took geography. There was no definite purpose for admission, I thought something related to the economy, but I didn't even plan geography. So it turned out that geography turned out to be strong, for which I almost did not prepare. By fate it turned out that I entered the Moscow Aviation Institute. A logical question arises, what can be done there with geography, and so, there is a specialty "environmental safety of space activities", I went there because of the romantic name, not really knowing what I would study.
A little about the curriculum The first course was very difficult for all my classmates, since we are all practically humanities, and in the first semester our curriculum was overwhelmed with mathematics, physics, descriptive geometry, and so on, there was only one subject in our specialty. We passed the session with the thought that after 1 course there will be no more physics and mathematics. It was very hard when you hate these items with all your heart. In the second semester, history repeated itself, but more specialized subjects appeared, now I am in my second year, I have difurs, an engineer, materials science, Tweems, like the last semester of torment, but we are already used to it, although we keep repeating: " we are ecologists "The educational process Visiting is not the toughest thing in this institute, there are subjects that must be attended (engineering graphics, English), which are not necessary, everything is different here, I do not have the best attendance, but then you have to pay for it at the end of the semester. The schedule is issued at the beginning of the semester, and does not change anymore, well, except if you personally agree with the teacher. There are a maximum of 4 pairs per day, that is, you finish at 16 in the afternoon. Everybody's Saturdays are different, we didn't study before, now we study once every two weeks.
The buildings and dormitories of the Buildings are all in one place, but their condition is terrible, the elevators work every other time, the toilets are holes in the floor, and this is in the main building, there are no places where you can sit between couples, but we do not have a wardrobe, I think this plus, since there are no eternal queues, and you can sit calmly in the audience in a jacket and a hat, I remind you that the buildings are terrible, the windows can be with huge cracks. I don't live in a hostel, but I was in them, there are block and corridor types, everything depends on the faculty, but the hostel of my faculty with the loud name "space" is in a deplorable state.
The trade union bureau runs the entertainment program, and here it depends on everyone, but there is always the opportunity to go to the theater for free, to museums, etc. drinks on September 1 on a box, and then the police together disperse everyone, in general, our institute is called a musical and alcoholic institute, but if you don't drink, then no one is forcing you. There are a lot of chants about Mayevites, and probably the spirit of Mayevsky makes him love, despite all its disadvantages. MAI IS ME, MAI IS US, MAI IS THE BEST PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY.
MAI is undoubtedly the main institute in aviation. But it would not hurt to make a small repair in the hostel, otherwise it turns out when we study, then everything really corresponds to a high level. And when we come to the hostel, excuse me, it doesn’t correspond at all ... Yes, of course the Mokvichs and Muscovites don’t give a damn about it, of course we went home and ate mom’s borscht. But Moscow is not the whole of Russia, because Russia is connected with us, people from all over the country. And all these Muscovites are just nose to top, but there is no sense. Many do not know, and they are very stupid, I even began to notice that if stupid, then one hundred percent is a Muscovite. Although I am not against all Muscovites, do not understand me correctly, but those whom I met are darkness and horror ...
finished the first course at INZHEKIN MAI
about the admissions office, when I entered, I was also in a wild horror of everything that was happening, I even thought to give up the idea of going there, but no, I did it all the same) such a mess is always going on there and, in my opinion, they are not going to change anything, the main thing is not to judge it the whole institute!
at the expense of repairs - at first, of course, the situation catches the eye, but then you get used to it) and in the building of INZHEKIN itself there was recently a renovation, everything is sooooo good + now a new building has been built, I don’t remember the truth for which faculty
the education itself is at a good level, not bad, but not excellent either, you understand that you are not entering Moscow State University. teachers really teach, in most cases they just won't give a grade for their beautiful eyes) for a year I remember the teachers of law, history (which I didn't like, but I went to this teacher's lectures with pleasure), matan (it's generally hard to forget), economics, informatics, statistics, etc. all of these are very worthy teachers!
BUT! I want to say separately about the dean's office and everything connected with it - it's just hell! horror! nightmare! the people working there are just nonhumans, I can’t say otherwise. that in the dean's office there are girls sitting, from whom you will never achieve anything, constantly angry, and so on, I don’t understand why they went to this job, if they don’t like it, that the most nightmare is the deputy. Dean - I don’t know at all who let her work with people, especially with students! constantly yells at everyone, in the literal sense of the word, I have never seen her, so that she does not yell at someone, if you need to get something from her - you yourself understand what awaits you. it remains only to limit himself as much as possible from this person, but when you have to face, in any case, there remains an unpleasant aftertaste after communication. it feels like she's either sick in the head, or it's time to treat her nerves, or she just likes to take out all her anger on the students
and so the institute is good) I have never regretted that I entered it here, and the atmosphere is good (well, almost) and the teaching!
