Along with the 2025 high school graduation exam, the admission plans of universities will also have many changes to suit the new program, including adjustments related to the combination and admission methods.
Adjust the admission combination
From the 2025 high school graduation exam, candidates will take two compulsory subjects: Math and Literature and two optional subjects from 9 subjects: Foreign Language, History, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, and Technology.
The selection of subjects, in which Information Technology and Technology first appeared in the graduation exam, created 36 combinations that can be used for university admission. Therefore, some schools have adjusted the admission combinations.
The University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University) announced the 2025 enrollment orientation with 4 groups of subjects for admission, including: Math, English, Literature; Math, English, Physics; Math, English, Informatics; Math, English, Economic and Legal Education.
In particular, the school has included in the admission combination 2 new subjects of the 2018 General Education Program, including: Information Technology, Economic and Legal Education.
In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade plans to recruit a number of new combinations, including group C.
The additional combinations are as follows: C00 (Literature, History, Geography); C01 (Literature, Math, Physics); C02 (Literature, Math, Chemistry); C14 (Math, Literature, Economic and Legal Education).
According to the school, adding a number of admission combinations, including group C, aims to create opportunities for candidates with a foundation in group C to access many different professions at the school.
Similarly, in 2025, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education will adjust the admission combination to match the high school graduation exam subjects, while maintaining the admission combinations of 2024.
Accordingly, the school will adjust the combinations that are no longer suitable, such as eliminating combinations with exams in Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, etc., and adding new combinations with subjects in Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, Technology, etc.
Reduce admission methods
A notable new point in the admission plans of some schools has been announced. Many schools plan to reduce admission methods, including considering academic records.
Ho Chi Minh City University of Education will maintain three main admission methods from 2025, including: Considering high school graduation exam scores; organizing and considering specialized competency assessment exam scores; direct admission and priority admission.
In particular, the school will eliminate the form of combined consideration with academic transcripts and considering specialized competency assessment scores organized by the school. Instead, this exam will be used for independent admission for more than 30 majors of the school.
According to Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, the school has eliminated the consideration of high school transcripts in order to meet the needs of students studying under the new program with the general view of ensuring fairness, transparency, creating favorable conditions for candidates and ensuring improved input quality, meeting the requirements of the modern labor market.
From 2025, Ho Chi Minh City National University will reduce admission methods to 3 methods, including: direct admission, admission based on the results of the school-organized capacity assessment exam, and admission based on the results of the high school graduation exam.
This reduction in admission methods is supported by member universities of Ho Chi Minh City National University, who believe it will be fairer and less confusing for candidates.
Dr. Pham Thanh Ha, Head of Training Department of the University of Transport, said that in 2025, the school plans to maintain the general training target for the entire school but will adjust it to prioritize training programs/majors related to the fields of high-speed railways and urban railways, and microchips and semiconductors.
The University of Transport will maintain the same admission method and combination as last year. However, after the Ministry of Education and Training officially issued the 2025 admission regulations, Dr. Pham Thanh Ha said that the school will make appropriate adjustments to ensure fairness and efficiency in admission.
According to the draft circular amending and supplementing a number of articles of the university admission regulations that the Ministry of Education and Training is seeking comments on, the Ministry plans to set early admission quotas for training institutions but not exceeding 20% of the quotas for each major and group of majors.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thu Thuy - Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training) said that the regulation of not considering admissions earlier than 20% of the target will help overcome the shortcomings arising from early admissions. Schools will not have to spend too much time and resources on this admission process or many 12th graders will neglect their studies when they know the admission results.
The draft circular will be open for comments until January 22, 2025. If the regulation is approved and applied in 2025, it will greatly affect the admission process of both training institutions and candidates.
