The idea of the joint application system is to make it easier for students to apply for further studies. The national system helps local education providers to get their students without students needing to send their applications to several institutions. This system is meant to make the application procedure more effective than one in which the institutions themselves directly choose their students.
The right to only one study place per year in higher education makes the use of university and polytechnic study places much more effective. The students cannot be awarded several places but several students have an opportunity to get a place.
