      Society Several educational institutions in the Nizhny Novgorod region made it into the updated RAEX ranking of Russia’s best schools for 2025. Experts compiled two lists: by graduates’ competitiveness and by the total number of graduates admitted to the country’s leading universities.

      The competitiveness ranking takes into account the share of graduates admitted to prestigious universities, while the second ranking—by absolute number—counts such students regardless of the size of the graduating cohort.

      Five schools from the region made the list of high-competitiveness schools. The highest-ranked was Lyceum No. 38 from Nizhny Novgorod, which placed 71st. The institution scored 130.952 points; 71.7% of its graduates entered state-funded places, and 17.8% entered on fee-paying places.

      The boarding Lyceum "Center for Gifted Children" from Nizhny Novgorod took 89th place with a score of 112.393 points. 40% of its graduates entered state-funded places, and 31.3% — on fee-paying contracts.

      Lyceum No. 8 from Nizhny Novgorod was 313th with 58.873 points. Here 41.3% of graduates entered tuition-free places, and 48.1% — paid.

      Lyceum No. 40 from Nizhny Novgorod ranked 392nd, scoring 51.868 points. At this institution 59.7% of graduates took state-funded places, and 25% — paid places.

      Rounding out Nizhny Novgorod’s top five is Lyceum No. 13 named after Yuliy Khariton in Sarov. It placed 461st with a score of 47.012 points. Of its graduates, 67.2% entered state-funded places and 15.5% — on fee-paying contracts.

      In the ranking by the total number of graduates admitted to leading universities, two more institutions from the region stood out. Lyceum No. 3 from Sarov took 94th place with 41.391 points. Of its graduates, 55.6% entered state-funded places and 16.7% — on fee-paying contracts.

      Lyceum No. 40 from Nizhny Novgorod appeared on this list at 238th with a score of 30.479 points. Enrollment figures remained the same: 59.7% state-funded and 25% paid.

      Earlier it was reported that universities in the Nizhny Novgorod region announced the results of the 2025 admissions campaign.
