I disagree. The policy was "official" in a sense of coming from above. But they attempted to wrap it around in "natural causes".

There are multiple evidences that it was going on. I'm not familiar with exact mechanics of how those failure problems were given to undesirables (it was before my time). But it's a historic fact that it was happening on a massive scale. There were even "Jewish" institutes, like MIIT which got disproportionally big percentage of Jews, because of the census policy in MSU (Mekhmat & VMK).

In many colleges there are no entry tests at all these days. Major ones like MSU have written exams.
