Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Training, said that the Drafting Board of Admission Regulations will submit to the leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training to cancel early admission.
At the 2025 career counseling and university and college admissions fair held at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education on January 5, Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Training, said that the Ministry plans to abolish admissions early.
Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy analyzed that with the current admission support system, even if candidates are considered early, they still have to enter all their wishes into the system according to the general admission plan, after graduating from high school. In the end, candidates only pass one wish, and go to one school.
Meanwhile, early admission costs a lot of resources for schools. Candidates also spend a lot of time and money to register their applications to schools, although that can partly resolve the psychological pressure.
The initial goal of early admission (such as direct admission, priority admission) is to recruit outstanding and talented candidates. However, the early admission that schools are implementing is mostly beneficial to weak students, when students with average or weak academic records can also apply and be admitted early to many schools. In fact, for a long time, early admission has caused disadvantages and unfairness to candidates who are not able to take separate exams or do not have the conditions to take certificates.
According to Ms. Thuy, after receiving opinions from experts and teachers, the Admission Regulation Drafting Committee will submit to the leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training to abolish early admission. The concept of early admission here means early in terms of time, admission before the high school graduation exam.
In the general admission round after the high school graduation exam, schools can use all admission methods, such as considering academic records, considering graduation exam scores, scores of separate exams... Currently, the Ministry's general system has been completed, fully meeting the university admission requirements in all methods.
Previously, in the draft admission regulations that the Ministry was seeking opinions on, it was stipulated that schools could only consider early admission for 20% of their quota.
The concept of early admission refers to admission rounds that take place before the Ministry's high school graduation exam. Early admission is organized by many schools, using methods such as considering academic records, international certificates, test scores to assess ability, thinking or combining many criteria.
In recent years, early admission has been quite competitive at top schools; however, there are also many schools that have very low entrance scores in these rounds.
Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education, added that the Ministry plans to add a quality assurance threshold (floor score) using the high school graduation exam score for the Health and Pedagogy groups. This adjustment will create more convenience and fairness for independent candidates. Previously, in the draft admission regulations that the Ministry is seeking opinions on, the floor score for these groups of majors only used the academic transcript score.
Another technical change is that universities must have a way to convert scores from all admission methods to a common scale or equivalent admission score.
At that time, there will be no limit on the number of admission quotas in the admission methods, but the scores will be taken from high to low, in all methods. The Ministry also stipulates that when building the admission combination for a major or program, schools must have a certain number of common subjects, which are the core skills and competencies of that major.
