Kazan University is first among the ten federal universities, the second being Ural Federal University on the 15th place.

Recently KFU was also included in the Top 10 salary rankings for Russian IT alumni. The research was made by Superjob, one of the popular online recruiting portals. KFU alumni can count on receiving offers of about 81,000 RUB a month gross (Moscow purchasing power parity), which is 10th best in Russia. Despite being in high demand in the federal capital, 60% of local IT graduates choose to stay in Tatarstan.
