The Comprehensive Final Examination sets the task of testing the knowledge and skills acquired by graduates during undergraduate studies in certain fields of knowledge.

The program of this exam consists of the course questions of three thematic and disciplinary cycles. Mathematical disciplines: Introduction to higher mathematics; Discrete Math; Mathematical logic and theory of algorithms; Probability theory and mathematical statistics; Theory of formal grammar. Informatics: Basics of computer science, Basics of programming; Object-oriented programming; Databases and knowledge bases. Computational linguistics: courses of a complex multi-semester discipline Theoretical and applied linguistics in the following subject areas: applied phonetics; analysis and synthesis of oral speech; morpheme-word analysis in computer systems; morphological analysis in computer systems; semantic analysis in computer systems; syntactic analysis in computer systems; quantitative linguistics; structural linguistics; basics of automatic translation; traditional and computer lexicography; corpus linguistics.

The structure of the ticket reflects the complex nature of the exam and consists of four tasks. The first three questions are aimed at assessing students' knowledge and are of a theoretical nature: the first - is from the field of mathematics; the second - is from computer science; the third is from applied (computer) linguistics. The fourth practical task - "Portfolio of a computer linguist" - is aimed at evaluating students' skills and has a creative nature: presentation of computer programs for linguistic problems that students have developed during their studies. 10 calendar days before the exam, the portfolio is submitted by the student for review by the members of the examination committee, who familiarize themselves with the work, evaluate it, and, if necessary, ask the student questions on the exam.

The number of points that a graduate can score is formed by the sum of points for 4 questions: the maximum number of points is 100, and the minimum positive number of points is 60, according to the evaluation scale. The maximum possible number of points for each theoretical question of the ticket is 20 points, for the practical task "Portfolio of a computer linguist" the maximum score is 40 points.
