Rating system is widely used nowadays in higher education institutions in order to get clear picture of individual or the whole group performance and to make administrative decisions. The Higher School of Economics is not the exception. Today the university's rating system employs the method based on the rating sum with credits. According to it, exam marks multiplied by the subject credit units are summed. However, the summation has a compensatory nature which means that satisfactory or non-satisfactory grades can be compensated by excellent grades. The main goal of the graduate work is to study the possibility of non-compensatory method application to student rating in higher education institutions and compare it with compensatory aggregation methods.
