Frequently asked questions and answers

• How will the test exam be conducted?
• The test will be conducted via the personal account of each applicant on the university webpage. While the process will be monitored via Microsoft Teams app. An applicant should have one device for the video call and another one to take the test. Half an hour before the assigned test time applicants should wait for the video call from the university supervisors. Video and audio connection must be maintained during the entire test. After the ID check, strictly at the assigned time applicants start the exam. Applicants have 70 minutes to complete the test. Once the test is completed the results will be displayed on the screen. At that point the first round of exams is completed.
• Please, make sure you don’t confuse login and password information for the personal account (to take the test) on the university web page with login and password information for MS Teams app (for the video call). We strongly recommend checking both personal page and profile on MS Team app well in advance and make sure you have access to them. If there are any problems, you can contact us at 951963601 during our office hours.

• To access the personal account, you should go to https://but.uz On the main page, press “Private office”. You should see the login page. Individual login and password information is provided at the bottom of the application paper. The application paper is a document that you received from the admission office with your photo and the university stamp on it. Enter the information exactly as it’s provided on the paper.

• How can I get access to my account on MS Teams?
• You should download MS Teams app. Upon opening the app, you will see a box to enter your email address. In this box you should write your applicant’s number and add @but.uz. For instance, 2020123456@but.uz Reminder, you can find your application number under your photo on the application paper. Then enter the password - but2020* (the PS is the same for everyone). At that stage you have activated your account and you just need to wait for the call from the university.
