Belarus Simplifies University Entrance Exams: A Shift to Centralized Testing MINSK, BELARUS – May 30, 2025 – The Belarusian education system has undergone a significant change in its university entrance procedures. The previously complex system of four separate exams has been streamlined to two exams and a centralized testing process. This shift, explained in a recent video circulating online, aims to simplify the admissions process for prospective students.
