TP - Although the Ministry of Education and Training has made some adjustments to tighten the quota for early admission methods, the heat of exams organized by major universities has not cooled down. The Association of Vietnamese Universities and Colleges recommends that the Ministry of Education and Training should not intervene too deeply and set control rates for different methods of higher education institutions.
Priority is given to admission based on separate exam results.
On the first day of opening the registration portal for the Hanoi University of Science and Technology's Thinking Assessment (TSA) exam 4 days ago, more than 13,000 candidates registered. In 2024, the first round of the TSA exam had nearly 2,800 candidates registered. The Admissions Board predicts that in the first round next year, there will be about 15,000 - 16,000 candidates registering, an increase of more than 5 times compared to this year.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Phong Dien, Vice President of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, shared that the school is waiting for the official promulgation of the 2025 admission regulations to come up with an optimal admission plan. Mr. Dien expects that the talent admission method (early admission method) of Hanoi University of Science and Technology will still maintain 20% of the quota as every year. The admission method of considering TSA exam results will use techniques to bring it to a 30/30 scale and be considered together with the high school graduation exam results. According to Mr. Dien, candidates can use both methods at the same time for admission. However, the quota for the TSA exam results method still has a larger weight.
In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City National University will only retain 3 admission methods including: direct admission; considering the capacity assessment test scores organized by this University; considering the high school graduation exam scores. Member schools are encouraged to combine admission methods. This year, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine is expected to have 6 admission methods 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 only international certificates for admission; combining the high school graduation exam results with international certificates for admission; using other methods. Compared to 2024, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine will increase 3 admission methods.

Hanoi National University of Education said that up to now, 22 universities have registered to use the school's capacity assessment test scores for admission in 2025, an increase of 13 schools compared to this year.
In the draft Circular amending and supplementing a number of articles of the University Admissions Regulations in 2025, a new content supported by public opinion is a technical solution to tighten high school transcript admissions for universities.
The Ministry of Education and Training requires that the admission scores and passing scores of the methods and subject combinations used for admission must be converted to a common, unified scale for each training program, major, and group of majors; ensuring that the early admission benchmark (after conversion) is not lower than the admission benchmark of the admission round according to the general plan. Thus, this requirement requires that the benchmark scores of the admission methods of a major must be at the same level. In case of using the results of the academic transcript for admission, the results of the entire 12th grade of the candidate must be used.
Explaining the tightening of early admission methods, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Training, said that the Ministry's decision to limit early admission quotas was based on the practical situation of enrollment work in recent years. The Ministry's wish is that early admission only focuses on candidates with outstanding abilities and academic achievements, limiting the impact on students' studies in the final semester of grade 12 and high school graduation exam preparation.
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc, Chairman of the Council of the University of Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, supports the regulation on limiting the time and quota for early admission based on academic records, because for many years, the results of assessment based on academic records have always been higher than the results of high school. According to him, there is still a situation of favoritism and leniency in assessment based on academic records.
The Ministry of Education and Training should not intervene deeply.
The Association of Vietnamese Universities and Colleges has just sent a document to the Ministry of Education and Training proposing a number of solutions to ensure consistency between the content of the 2018 general education program, the organization of high school graduation exams and university admissions in 2025.
The document clearly states that the draft regulations on admissions from 2025 of the Ministry of Education and Training, which is currently soliciting opinions, still has many conflicting debates. The Association recommends that the Ministry of Education and Training should regulate the assessment of the quality of admission methods of universities; eliminate admission methods that do not ensure input quality; require universities to explain the selection of subject combinations; need to regulate unified reasonable admission combinations, and resolutely eliminate "strange" combinations.
The Association recommends that the Ministry of Education and Training should not intervene too deeply and set a control ratio for different methods of higher education institutions. Instead, the Ministry of Education and Training should have regulations on a reasonable quota ratio for the admission method based on the results of the high school graduation exam to ensure fairness for candidates in disadvantaged areas who do not have the conditions to participate in international certification exams and separate exams organized by higher education institutions...
