Abstract: Abstract This article is focused on the government program for increasing competitiveness of Russian universities “5–top 100” started in 2013. The main aim of the program is creating necessary conditions for Russian universities for being ranked in the top-quality world rankings. Fifteen universities were carefully selected among many other institutions. The university funding amount for the next year directly depends on the current year results. We analyzed the results of universities participating and not participating in the program “5–top 100” for the years 2008–2014 within the university groups and with reference group as well as with world and country average values. Based on the analysis we can state that the program “5–top 100” enables not only participating universities to improve their current result. The program helps universities in prioritizing their aims and enhancing their competitiveness at the world level that is supported by positions in world university rankings.
