According to the university admission regulations in 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training has completely eliminated early admission. The Ministry believes that in recent years, early admission has made the admission period longer, requiring candidates to request confirmation of their high school academic results to send to many training institutions, leading to a waste of social resources. In particular, many training institutions have called for early admission in large numbers but the number of candidates enrolling is very small, showing that early admission is ineffective.

Regarding the review of academic records, the Ministry of Education and Training requires a combination of at least three subjects, including Math or Literature with a weight of at least one-third of the total score. A major or training program can use several subject combinations at the same time. In that case, the common number of subjects in the combinations must have an assessment weight of at least 50% of the total score.

In particular, schools must use the results of the entire 12th grade year of candidates, instead of using the scores of 3-5 semesters as at present. Thus, the review of transcripts will be conducted at the same time as other methods, that is, after candidates know their high school graduation exam scores, and not announced early as in previous years.
