In 2025, the Banking Academy plans to enroll 3,644 students with 5 admission methods, including direct admission; review of academic records; admission based on international certificates; admission based on results of competency assessment exams; admission based on high school graduation exam scores.

With the review of academic records, the academy reserves 20% of the admission quota, remaining stable compared to last year. To consider admission using this method, the academy requires candidates to have excellent academic performance in grade 12 and have an average score of 8.0 or higher for each subject in the group of majors registered for admission for 3 years.

With the international certificate assessment method, the academy plans to reserve 15% of the target. Admission criteria are based on the candidates' thinking ability, foreign language ability and academic results.

To be considered for admission under this method, candidates must have excellent academic performance in grade 12 and have an average score of 8.0 or higher for each subject in the admission group for 3 years. Have an SAT certificate of 1,200 points or higher; IELTS of 6.0 or higher; TOEFT iBT of 72 points or higher.

How to calculate the admission score: Admission score = converted international certificate score x 3 + priority points.

International certificate scores are converted on a 10-point scale as follows:
