Uzbekistan extends contract payment deadline at universities to November 1

The Ministry of Education and Science has announced that the deadline for paying contract fees and formalising enrolment at higher education institutions for the 2026/2027 academic year has been extended to November 1. The extension applies to bachelor's and master's applicants recommended for admission, as well as to students who transferred, were reinstated after transfer, or resumed their studies.

By the deadline, applicants must pay at least 25% of the annual cost under the basic contract, or at least 50% under the differentiated contract. The deadline had previously been extended to October 15.

From the 2026/2027 academic year, a procedure has also been introduced under which 30% of the contract amount will be reimbursed for children of teaching staff enrolled in full-time bachelor's programmes at state higher education institutions. To claim the discount, applications must be submitted through the kontrakt.edu.uz platform.
