Official Schedule for the 2026 National Multisubject Test Released
The Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment (UCEQA) has formally approved the calendar for the 2026 National Multisubject Test (NMT). The schedule, reported by 'Hlavkom,' outlines key testing windows for students seeking university admission. The main testing sessions are set to run from May 20 to June 25, 2026, with supplementary sessions scheduled for July 17-24, 2026. The exams will be administered both within Ukraine and at international locations.
By March 3, 2026, the UCEQA website will publish a list of foreign countries and cities hosting temporary examination centers. However, for security reasons, the specific testing locations within Ukraine will not be made public. The primary registration period for the main sessions is from March 5 to April 2, 2026. Applicants can make changes to their registration data until April 7, 2026. A late registration window will be open from May 11 to 16, 2026, with amendments allowed until May 21, 2026.
Test Results and Registration Process
Results from the main NMT sessions will be published by July 3, 2026, while results for the supplementary sessions will be available by July 29, 2026. In a related legislative move, Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, adopted in principle a draft law in December 2025 to amend regulations concerning the 2026 final state assessment and university admissions campaign.
Registration for the NMT will be conducted online via a dedicated service on the UCEQA website. Applicants can create a personal account automatically through the 'Diia' government app or by manually completing a form in the registration system. Invitations for the main sessions will be issued no later than ten calendar days before the test date; for supplementary sessions, invitations will be sent at least three days in advance. All results will be presented on a scale of 100 to 200 points.
The preparation and administration of the National Multisubject Test is a critical component of Ukraine's education system, as it determines eligibility for admission to higher education institutions.
By offering testing sites abroad, the process ensures that Ukrainian applicants residing outside the country can still participate in the admissions cycle. Security remains a top priority, which is why domestic testing locations within Ukraine will not be disclosed publicly, reflecting a cautious approach under current circumstances. This NMT structure is part of broader efforts to maintain educational continuity for Ukrainian students despite ongoing challenges.
