CONTEMPT OF ANY OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED RULES ENTAILS DISQUALIFICATION OF THE CANDIDATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PREVIOUSLY ATTAINED POINTS, AND A DISQUALIFIED CANDIDATE CANNOT BE ENROLLED IN THE FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.

The order of candidates for enrolment to the first year of Bachelor academic studies is determined based on:

a) Results achieved in the entrance exam. In the entrance exam, the candidate can score a maximum of 60 points (20 tasks x 3 points = 60 points).

b) General success in secondary school. General success in secondary school entails the number of points that is obtained as a sum of the average grades in all subjects in the first, second, third and fourth grade, multiplied by 2 (two). On these grounds, the candidate can acquire at least 16, and at most 40 points. The average grade in secondary school is calculated by rounding up to two decimal places.

c) The success of candidates who completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is determined by multiplying the average grade from the first two years of secondary school by two, which amounts to a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 20 points, while the success in the International Baccalaureate is valued at a maximum of 20 points. The International Baccalaureate diploma is issued to a student only if they achieved a total score of at least 24, with the maximum total score being 45. According to the evaluation principle of secondary school certificates in Serbia, a total score of 24 is valued at 8 points, while a total score of 45 is valued at 20 points. The formula for calculation is as follows:

The number of points = 8 + (total score - 24) × 12/21

The RANKING LIST is compiled according to the total number of points each candidate acquired based on the established scoring method. A candidate can score a maximum of 100 points. The Committee compiles a unique RANKING LIST. The place at the RANKING LIST and the total number of acquired points determine whether a candidate can be enrolled in the first year of Bachelor Academic Studies, as well as whether the candidate will be financed from the state budget, or will pay the tuition fee.

When compiling the overall RANKING LIST, the candidates who are enrolling for the first time in the first level of studies and at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are ranked first, and other candidates are ranked after them.

The candidate can be enrolled at the study programme as the student whose studies are financed from the state budget of the Republic of Serbia (a budget student) if he/she is ranked in the final RANKING LIST up to the number approved for the enrolment of the candidates whose studies are financed from the state budget and if he/she attains at least 51 points.

A candidate can be enrolled in the first year of a study programme in the status of the student financed from the budget of the Republic (a budget student) only once at the same level of studies.

The candidate can be enrolled as the student who pays the tuition fee (a self-financing student) if he/she is placed in the final RANKING LIST up to the number approved for the enrolment of the self-financing students and if he/she attains at least 30 points.

If the candidate who has acquired the right to enrol does not enrol within the prescribed timeline, another candidate can be enrolled instead of him/her, according to the determined order in the RANKING LIST.

If there are vacancies for enrolment, an additional enrolment period will be organised. In the additional enrolment period, the candidates can apply for vacant positions with the number of points they acquired in the entrance examination in Mathematics:

• at another study programme of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, or
• at another study programme of one of the faculties of the University of Belgrade.

It is necessary for such candidates to produce an appropriate certificate of the number of points achieved at that entrance exam or the number of the application from the entrance exam that they took at another faculty and the web address where the final ranking list of that particular faculty has been posted.
