A representative of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) said that the 2025 university admission regulations are urgently completing the final steps and are expected to be issued in February 2025 with some adjustments compared to the published draft.
Early university admission will be abolished
According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy - Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), the draft university admission regulations for 2025 have been widely posted online and have undergone a period of receiving comments from relevant parties, especially from candidates and experts, educators, ministries and local branches. To facilitate and ensure the rights of candidates, the new regulations will eliminate early admission instead of controlling 20% of the quota as in the draft. Ms. Thuy emphasized that the regulations mentioned are not about the admission method but about the time, schools do not need to organize early admission. All will follow the general admission process, supporting the general admission on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training.
For direct admission, candidates eligible for direct admission will comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
Regarding the application of high school academic results for admission, schools must use both grade 12 academic results for both semesters for admission instead of only using the first semester academic results of grade 12 as currently regulated. This is intended to have a negative impact on general education, so that students do not miss out on the most important knowledge of grade 12.
Regarding the requirement that training institutions will need to have a way to convert equivalent admission scores between admission methods and admission combinations, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy said that this is a mandatory regulation to ensure that admitted candidates are fairly selected when arranged according to their intrinsic capacity and core qualities. Candidates need to meet the requirements of the training program and specific training majors. Schools do not need to allocate quotas for each admission method or combination. The equivalent conversion will help to select admitted candidates from high to low.
“The regulation of eliminating early admission and requiring equivalent score conversion is aimed at creating the best and fairest opportunity for students in the admission process. This does not reduce students' chances because in essence, each candidate is only admitted to one wish, only to study in one major, at one university. It is not because early admission will increase students' chances of admission" - Ms. Thuy said, adding that each candidate can register for an unlimited number of wishes, which is a good opportunity. The general admission support system of the Ministry of Education and Training will help students be admitted to their highest and best wishes in the order of priority arranged by them.
Note on foreign language certificates
According to the new regulations that are being finalized, schools will be able to convert the results of foreign certificates into foreign language scores for admission. This means that candidates do not necessarily have to take the graduation exam in a foreign language if they already have a foreign language certificate. Universities and colleges need to understand this new point to be proactive in forming admission methods and combinations. Note that these foreign language certificates have been clearly stated in the appendix of the 2025 high school graduation exam regulations.
In particular, the new regulation also removes the requirement that each major and training program have a maximum of 4 admission combinations as mentioned in the draft. It is expected that there will be no limit on the maximum number of admission combinations for a program or a major. The reason is to create opportunities for candidates to be admitted to the majors, majors, and training programs at the schools they desire. Currently, the number of graduation exams has increased compared to previous years, but each candidate can only take 4 subjects, so the number of possible combinations from these exams will not be too large. Therefore, the limitation for a program or a major is not necessary in this case so that schools can be proactive in building admission combinations suitable for the major and training program.
Regarding priority points, the new regulation requires that the priority points for each candidate's foreign language certificate will not exceed 10% of the maximum score, not counting the priority points that candidates enjoy in terms of region and priority subjects. At the same time, the total admission score of the candidate must not exceed the maximum score. For example, if the maximum score is 30, there will be no points 31, 32... including priority and support points.
In particular, regulations related to the threshold for ensuring input quality of the pedagogical and health training sectors will remain the same as the current regulations so that candidates can apply with peace of mind and prepare carefully before the admission exam.
