Thanks to the systematic work of the Management Department, participation in such projects is becoming accessible to a larger number of students, broadening opportunities for academic development.

The participation in the festival became an important step in strengthening academic ties between the Management Department of KSTU and Reshetnev Siberian State University. Based on the results of the visit, both sides confirmed their interest in further developing the partnership.

The colleagues were gladly invited to participate in the International Olympiad of the Management Department, which will be held at KSTU, and expressed their readiness to send students within academic mobility programs and to participate in joint events.

We are confident that such initiatives contribute to forming a new level of professional environment, expanding students’ horizons, and strengthening the international connections of I. Razzakov KSTU.

Оn December 5, 2025, an important and responsible event took place at the Management Department of the Higher School of Economics and Business at I. Razzakov Kyrgyz State Technical University — the state examination for part-time master’s students in the Management program.

The future graduates demonstrated solid knowledge and the ability to apply theoretical management concepts using examples from their own professional cases. Their answers were distinguished by clarity, depth, and reliance on real practical experience, which was especially noted by the commission members. The practical situations presented by the students strengthened their arguments and showcased a high level of preparation.

Special attention was given to research conducted in Kyrgyzstan, analysis of economic losses, and evaluation of the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures.

The professor managed to spark genuine interest in the audience by raising questions of morality, law, and ethics. Students actively engaged in the discussion, asking questions and sharing their opinions.
