Competitiveness of students. In the last three years, the enrolment competition for the full-time form of training varies from 1.5 to 1.83 applicants per place. About 73% of students are fee paying.

Students successfully take part in various scientific and technical forums (the International Scientific and Technical Conference “New Information Technologies in Oil and Gas Industry and Education”, the scientific and practical conference “Problems of Oil and Gas Complex of the Western Siberia and the Ways to Improve Its Effectiveness”, competition of scientific papers dedicated to the memory of V.I. Muravlenko, the All-Russian scientific conference of young researchers “Step into the future”, etc.)

Interaction with employers. Students are placed for practical experience in oil and gas production enterprises, electric power facilities and research institutes of Tyumen region. Students who successfully underwent the practice are invited for future employment in such organizations as JSC “TNK-VR Management”, JSC “AK “Transneft”, JAS “Lukoil”, Yukos, JSK “Rosneft”, Halliburton International, LLC “Schlumberger Technological Company”, etc.
