My model should take students' info and achievements from the preparatory group and with machine learning offer the faculties (there are 7 of them) in which the percent of his success are the highest.
I'm new to ML but I understand that this is a multi-classification.
Can Random Forest or SVM handle such a task? I don't need only one "the best" faculty but rather to rank them from best to worst for each student.
My data consists of 3500 students, 25 variables (haven't feature-engineered them yet) and 7 classes (the faculties, which are the target value)

Yes, random forests (or any classifier which can output the probability (score) for each class) can be used to rank the faculties. You can rank them in order of probabilities.
Think of this problem in the following way: you want to find a score of every faculty for each student. This score gives you the ranking of faculties for each student.
