A series of universities adjust enrollment plans for 2025

In 2025, many universities will adjust their admission plans because candidates will study and take graduation exams according to the 2018 General Education Program.

At Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade , Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hoan - Principal of the school - said that this training institution will coordinate to organize a specialized competency assessment test with Ho Chi Minh City University of Education for enrollment.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade prepares the venue for the exam, while Ho Chi Minh City University of Education provides the procedures, techniques and related legal documents to ensure that the exam is conducted in accordance with regulations and laws. Both schools use the same exam results for admission purposes.

After the results are available, candidates will use the score of one subject to be combined with the results of two subjects in the admission combination. The school said it is considering joining 18 other schools to organize the exam and use the V-SAT exam after the Ministry of Education and Training confirmed that this is not the Ministry's exam.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology only uses two admission methods: direct admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, Ho Chi Minh City National University and combined admission (assessment of capacity, high school results, high school academic performance and other capacities).

For candidates who do not take the competency assessment exam, the school has a plan to convert their high school graduation exam scores to this exam score. Candidates with competency assessment exam scores from Hanoi National University can also convert them to competency assessment exam scores from Ho Chi Minh City National University according to the prescribed coefficient.

Ho Chi Minh City National University has agreed to implement three admission methods: Direct admission; Admission based on the results of the competency assessment exam organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University; Admission based on the results of the high school exam.

The illustrative test for assessing capacity that this university announced has been adjusted compared to the previously announced content.

University of Economics and Law enrolls students in 3 ways: Direct admission and priority direct admission; Admission based on the results of the 2025 Ho Chi Minh City National University Competency Assessment Exam; Admission based on the results of the 2025 High School Graduation Exam.

Thus, compared to 2024, the school reduced 2 methods.

Nha Trang University will consider admission based on a combination of high school academic results and university academic ability assessment results. The school organizes preliminary selection (necessary conditions) through the results of transcripts in subjects prescribed by the school, then considers admission (sufficient conditions) by the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam or the results of the competency assessment exam. With preliminary selection through high school academic results, each major and training major has a number of subjects according to the school's regulations. The results of these subjects must meet the minimum requirements announced by the school every year.

The school's admission combination orientation from the high school graduation exam includes the following main subjects: math, literature and English; math, literature (one of the two subjects multiplied by a coefficient of 2); math, literature and 1 subject suitable for the training major. In case the candidate does not study the necessary subjects in high school for the major being considered for admission, the school will consider the study results in high school and evaluate the ability of other subjects instead and will supplement the missing knowledge in the first semester of the course.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Education has completely abandoned the method of considering high school transcripts for admission. In the orientation of using specialized competency assessment exams as the main method, the school organizes the specialized competency assessment exam as an independent exam.

It is expected that this method will include the use of 2 subjects for admission to each major, in which 1 main subject is multiplied by a coefficient of 2 and 1 secondary subject is not multiplied by a coefficient. This will help to comprehensively assess the candidate's learning ability and suitability to the requirements of each major.

Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine will implement 6 admission methods in 2025, including: High school graduation exam results; Direct admission according to the regulations of the admission regulations; Using the results of the capacity assessment test, thinking assessment organized by other units for admission; Using international certificates for admission; Combining high school graduation exam results with international certificates for admission; Using other methods.

Thus, the school increased 3 methods compared to 2024.
