IT is the very field that is developing so fast today that many universities do not have time to update relevant training programs. And therefore, the preparation of not only highly qualified, but also capable of constant self-training and retraining of IT-specialists in our time is one of the most important and relevant issues.
Many IT universities graduate good IT-specialists (who literally “go like hot cakes” all over the world) in Russia. Most of them, of course, are located in the capitals - Moscow and St. Petersburg, but there are also excellent technical universities with advanced IT departments in the Russian “outback”.
Over the past few years, the Russian job search and recruitment service Superjob has regularly ranked the country's leading IT universities in terms of the quality of education and the level of salaries of their recent graduates (based on data from the HeadHunter portal, HSE, etc.). So, in the ranking of 2018, among other criteria, the wages of young specialists who graduated from the corresponding universities in 2013-2017 were taken into account.
