A university announced a reduction in the quota for considering high school transcripts in 2025.

According to information from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, in 2025, the school will reduce the enrollment quota based on the 10th, 11th grade transcripts and the first semester of grade 12 to only 15-20% of the total enrollment quota.

The school also considers admission based on high school graduation scores at a rate of 50-60% of the total target, equivalent to 2024.

In addition, the school considers direct admission and competency assessment scores of Ho Chi Minh City National University, and this is the first year the school will consider admission based on specialized competency assessment scores of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade will reduce admission quota based on high school transcript scores (Illustration: Hoai Nam).

Regarding the subjects in the admission combination, Math is required for all majors (except for the majors of economic law, English language and Chinese language, the main subject for admission is literature). The school is carefully studying the 10th, 11th and 12th grade programs to choose the remaining two subjects in the admission combination.

Regarding the admission combination, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade also decided that 1 major only selects 4 subject combinations.

It is known that in 2024, this school will reserve 30% of its total 7,000 enrollment quotas for the high school transcript review method.

Previously, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade also announced information on the university graduation ranking rate for students in the 2019-2023 school year who were admitted by considering academic records and high school graduation scores.

The results showed that the percentage of excellent students admitted based on high school graduation exam scores was 0.21%; the percentage of excellent students was 6.56%; the percentage of good students was 69.24% and the percentage of average students was 23.98%.

As for students admitted based on their academic records, 0.24% are excellent, 5.44% are good, 65.12% are fair, and 29.2% are average.

Faced with the fact that university admission scores based on academic transcripts are constantly increasing, and even in many majors, candidates with a total score of 9-9.5 still fail, many people have reiterated their opinion on abolishing university admission based on academic transcripts.

Many people believe that students' academic records are getting better and better, and that there is no longer a clear distinction between truly excellent students and those with average abilities. Admission based on academic records is feared to affect the quality of university admissions, and that schools will not recruit the right students with the right abilities...

Up to now, many universities have "said no" to the admission method based on high school transcript scores such as Saigon University, National Economics University, Hanoi Medical University...

Besides, some schools consider academic scores as only a very small component in the school's combined admission method.

For many years now, many universities have been gradually reducing the admission rate based on academic records and increasing the admission rate based on other methods.

In 2023, according to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training , considering high school academic results accounts for 30.24% of the total number of university admission methods, second only to using high school graduation exam results at 49.45%.
