In the 2024-2025 school year, Tran Dai Nghia Middle School and High School were assigned the target of enrolling 350 students for the first time, after separating from the old campus.

The school recruits students by means of surveys to test and evaluate students' abilities. The Department of Education and Training (DoET) is responsible for creating questions, organizing supervision and grading surveys according to current examination regulations.

According to the Department of Education and Training, the English proficiency test (90 minutes) will be held on July 4. The new point is that the test will be shortened in duration, instead of 180 minutes like the 6th grade entrance exam in previous years. The Department will announce the content and structure of the test later.

Registration period is from June 7 to 11 via the school's website. Based on the survey results, the selection will be from highest to lowest until the quota is met.

Students who are not admitted to the school will still be considered for admission to grade 6 according to the regulations of the District Admissions Steering Committee.

The admission subjects are students who have completed primary school in Ho Chi Minh City and have a score of 9 or higher in the final exam of each subject of Vietnamese and math in grade 5.

The age of students entering grade 6 is 11 years old (according to valid birth certificate). For students who are allowed to skip a grade in the previous grade or students who enter the grade at an age higher than the prescribed age, the age for entering grade 6 will be reduced or increased based on the age in the year of graduation from the previous grade.

Ethnic minority students, disabled students, students in especially difficult circumstances, and students returning from abroad can enter school at an age 3 years older than the prescribed age.
