According to According to the rules for admission to bachelor's programs in 2025, applicants must pass the National Multi-Subject Test (NMT).
For selection on a competitive basis, NMT scores in four subjects are taken into account: three compulsory and one chosen by the applicant. This may be biology, physics, chemistry, geography, Ukrainian literature, foreign languages.
NMT coefficients are non-negative values that are applied to grades in testing subjects and the creative competition (for some specialties) when calculating the competitive score of applicants for admission to universities in 2025.

The purpose of using the NMT 2025 coefficients is to give greater weight to the results of testing and the creative competition when entering a specialty corresponding to the profile of these subjects.
NMT weighting coefficient: how to calculate the competitive score
For competitive selection for training to obtain a bachelor's degree (as well as a master's degree in medicine, pharmacy or veterinary science) based on the PZSO and NRK5, the following points are taken into account:
- results of the 2025 or 2024 NMT in four competitive subjects;
- results of the 2023 or 2022 NMT in three competitive subjects;
- a point for the creative competition for specialties that need it (Appendix 1);
- results of the matriculation exam for Polish citizens (Polish language, mathematics and two additional subjects of choice: history, foreign language, biology, physics and astronomy or chemistry);
- entrance examination scores for foreigners in accordance with the Admission Rules.
The weighting factors will differ from each other depending on the specialty. Because their main purpose is to highlight certain subjects that are more important for a specific profession. If a person enters the medical faculty, then for biology or chemistry the coefficient will be significantly higher than if the applicant were to enter the foreign language faculty.
The values of these coefficients can be found at the educational institutions where applicants are applying.
According to By order of the Ministry of Education and Science, for competitive selection for training to obtain a bachelor's degree (master's degree in medicine, pharmaceutical or veterinary science) on the basis of the PZSO and NRK5 based on the results of the NMT of 2024 or 2025, the matural exam, as well as in cases provided for by the Procedure for holding a creative competition according to the following formula:
Competitive score (CB) = (K1 × P1 + K2 × P2 + K3 × P3 + K4 × P4 + CT × TK) / (K1 + K2 + K3 + K4max + CT) + OU,
How is the competitive score calculated for admission to a bachelor's degree in 2025:
- The grades in four NMT subjects (Ukrainian language, mathematics, history of Ukraine and one elective subject) are multiplied by the corresponding weighting coefficients for your specialty. In the formula, P1, P2, P3 and P4 are the grades in the corresponding subjects, and K with indices are the corresponding coefficients.
- Creative competition (CC): the creative competition point is added to the previous amount, multiplied by the weighting coefficient.
- OU – if there are preparatory courses, then a point for successful completion of the preparatory courses of the ZVO (up to 10 points) is added to the sum if you are entering a specialty from the list that requires special support.
- K4max maximum is the maximum value of the subject coefficient for the elective subject for the corresponding specialty.
- Next, the entire amount is divided by the sum of the weighting factors of all components taken into account.
For competitive selection for training to obtain a bachelor's degree (as well as a master's degree in medicine, pharmacy or veterinary science) based on the PZSO and NRK5 based on the results of the 2024 NMT, with a creative competition, the following formula is used:
(KB) = (K1 × P1 + K2 × P2 + K3 × P3 + K4 × P4 + KT × TK) / (K1 + K2 + K3 + K4 + KT) + OU
Where:
- P1, P2, P3, P4 — points for the first, second, third and fourth subjects of the 2024 NMT;
- TC — assessment of the creative competition (if necessary, in accordance with the Procedure);
- OU – an additional point (0-10) for successful completion of preparatory courses in the year of admission for specialties included in the List of specialties with special support (Appendix 6);
- K1, K2, K3, K4 — subject coefficients for each specialty;
- CT – creative competition evaluation coefficient (if provided).
- Detailed values of the coefficients are given in Appendix 7 to Order.
Also, for the competitive selection based on the results of the NMT 2022-2023 (and in cases of a creative competition), a similar formula is applied:
(KB) = (K1 × P1 + K2 × P2 + K3 × P3 + CT × TC) / (K1 + K2 + K3 + CT) + OU
Where:
- P1, P2, P3 — points for the first, second and third subjects of the NMT 2022 or 2023;
- TC – assessment of the creative competition (if necessary);
- OU – a score (0-10) for completing preparatory courses in the year of admission for specialties with special support (Appendix 6);
- K1, K2, K3 — subject coefficients;
- CT – creative competition evaluation coefficient (if necessary).
NMT coefficient 2025: how to calculate for your specialty
Each NMT subject has its own unique coefficient. The higher the coefficient, the more the subject influences the overall score. Profile subjects (those that are more relevant to the chosen specialty) usually have higher coefficients.
For example:
- For Medicine, the coefficients of biology and physics will be more important.
- For international economic relations, the foreign language coefficient will become more important.
There are special calculators on university websites that will help you calculate your competitive score, taking into account various subjects and coefficients.
