Summary of the subject: The duration of protection of one work (project), as a rule, should not exceed 15 minutes. The student is given no more than 5-7 minutes to reveal the content of the thesis (project). After the report, members of the EC or examiners invited to the defense may ask the graduate student questions on the subject of the MKR or other subjects related to the MKR topic. After the diploma student answers the questions, the supervisor's and the reviewer's feedback is read. The decision of the EC on the assessment of the knowledge revealed during the defense of the MKR, as well as on the assignment of the appropriate educational level (qualifications) to graduating students and the issuance of diplomas (general or with honors) is taken at a closed meeting of the commission by open voting by a simple majority of the votes of the members of the commission who took participation in its meeting. In case of an equal number of votes, the vote of the chairman of the commission is decisive. During this meeting, EC members sign the minutes of the meetings. Students who have successfully passed the state exams and also defended the MKR are assigned a qualification in accordance with the obtained specialty by the decision of the EC and are issued a diploma of the established model.
Assessment methods and criteria: A student who has "excellent" grades in at least 75% of all disciplines of the curriculum, and "good" grades in the remaining disciplines and individual tasks, passed the state exam and defended a diploma project with an excellent grade, and also proved himself in the scientific ( creative) work, which is confirmed by the recommendation of the department, is awarded a diploma with distinction, which is recorded in the minutes of the commission meeting. In cases where the defense of the MCR does not meet the qualification characteristics, the EC makes a decision that the student did not defend the MCR, i.e. received an unsatisfactory grade, which is noted in the minutes of the commission meeting. A student who received an unsatisfactory grade at the MKR defense is expelled from the higher education institution. He is issued an academic certificate of the established model.
