No subject combination, admission method: Things candidates need to note

However, to optimize the chances of admission through choosing the right subjects and methods, candidates need to clearly understand the information and have a way to calculate and choose intelligently.

C CHOOSE THE SUBJECT THAT HAS THE MOST INTERSPECTIVE

According to the University Admission Regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, the combination used for admission includes at least 3 subjects suitable to the characteristics and requirements of the training program, including math or literature with a weighted score of no less than 25%. Thus, the remaining 2 subjects in the admission combination can be any of the subjects for which the candidate has a score.

Dr. Nguyen Trung Nhan, Head of Training Department of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, said: "Candidates only need to register for the school and training program on the general admission system, the system will automatically select the method and subject combination with the highest score of the candidate for admission. Therefore, before choosing the exam subjects, students must find out which subject combinations the school and major they intend to apply for admission have. In addition to the two compulsory subjects of math or literature, are the remaining two subjects included in the subjects the candidate has studied in high school? Then, students should see which two subjects have the most overlap between the combinations in the schools and majors and choose to take the exam."

At the same time, Dr. Nhan said that candidates also need to consider that the subject they choose should be their strength, a subject with the potential to achieve high scores.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Viet Long, Head of Training Department of the University of Law ( Hue University), noted: "To optimize the admission opportunity, in addition to the two compulsory subjects of math and literature, candidates should choose the remaining subjects from many admission groups according to the official admission information of the schools. Choosing popular subjects, used by many training institutions, will help expand the opportunity to be admitted. In addition, candidates need to follow the 2025 admission information announced by the schools to make a decision on choosing the appropriate exam subject", Associate Professor, Dr. Long noted.

Dr. Nguyen Van Kha, Deputy Director of the Admissions and Communications Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, said that this year there will be many new combinations, such as combinations with technology, information technology, economic education and law... "However, for the remaining two subjects, schools still prioritize subjects with a weight of over 50% to suit the students' professions. Therefore, if you choose the engineering, technology, and economics groups, you can choose to take the graduation exam in subjects such as math, literature, physics, chemistry or math, literature, physics, technology; math, literature, physics, information technology. As for social groups, choose math, literature, history, geography; math, literature, history, economics and law or math, literature, geography, economics and law...", Dr. Kha said.

N MANY SUBJECT COMBINATIONS: Candidates have many chances of being accepted.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Viet Long said that the regulation of not limiting the combination of subjects for admission helps doctors have more chances of being admitted. However, training institutions need to choose a reasonable combination of subjects for admission, ensuring relevance to the training industry and input quality.

It is important that training institutions provide timely information so that candidates can grasp the admission combinations, thereby best preparing for their choice. "In 2025, Hue University of Law plans to use 4-5 admission combinations for law and economic law," Mr. Long informed.

According to Master Tran Hai Nam, Director of the Admissions Consulting Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, this year many schools still maintain traditional subject combinations such as A00 (math, physics, chemistry), B00 (math, chemistry, biology), D01 (math, literature, English). Therefore, candidates should take all relevant subjects.

From another perspective, Dr. Tran Huu Duy, Head of Training Department of Da Lat University, said that not limiting the subject combinations could make it more difficult for schools than before because it is very difficult to determine the correct and accurate subject combinations.

Dr. Duy gave an example: "For admission to the physics major, in addition to math being a compulsory subject, for Dalat University, physics must be a compulsory subject. Therefore, if the combination has 3 subjects, there is only one optional subject. However, if the number of students choosing to take the high school physics exam is very small, the school's admission opportunity in this major will be very difficult. There will certainly be no admission to the physics major without physics while physics is an optional subject."

ADMISSION METHOD

Regarding the fact that candidates do not need to choose an admission method, Dr. Trung Nhan further explained: "The test scores of candidates in all methods are on the system. Therefore, there will be 2 cases. If all methods are converted to one scale, the standard scores of the methods are different, and if a school has 3 methods, the schools will give the standard scores of the methods and the priority order first. If candidates do not achieve the score in method 1, the system will automatically consider method 2."

In case all methods have the same admission score, according to Dr. Nhan, the system will choose the TS method with the highest score for consideration.

Dr. Tran Huu Duy said that schools are waiting for official instructions from the Ministry of Education and Training for specific information. "Candidates should not worry, just study with peace of mind, choose the best subjects and achieve the highest results in the upcoming exams. The selection technique will ensure that the selection process is accurate, convenient and fair for candidates."
