Admission score is high

Immediately after the Military Recruitment Board of the Ministry of National Defense announced the admission scores, preliminary comparisons showed that the 2023 scores had slightly decreased compared to 2022 in some majors. However, the admission scores to military schools were still among the schools with high scores compared to the university training system nationwide.

This year, apart from a few schools with relatively specific training majors with admission scores (based on high school graduation scores) below 20 points, some have admission scores above 20 points; the remaining admission scores to military schools range mainly from 22 to nearly 28 points. Of which, the Military Science Academy, Political Officer School, Border Guard Academy and Military Medical Academy have the highest admission scores.

The admission scores of the group of officer schools also fluctuate mainly at the level of over 20 points. This year, the admission score of Army Officer School 2 is high, candidates with permanent residence in provinces of Military Region 4, the admission score is 24.07 points; candidates in Military Region 5, the admission score is 19.95 points; candidates in Military Region 7 is 22.15 points, in Military Region 9 is 22.0 points.

According to the Military Admissions Board of the Ministry of National Defense, with the announced admission score plan, most schools have met their enrollment targets. After candidates confirm their admission, schools that have not yet met their enrollment targets will continue to announce additional enrollment requests.

What should candidates pay attention to?

According to the Standing Office of the Military Recruitment Board of the Ministry of National Defense: Candidates need to pay special attention to confirming admission in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, and at the same time complete the admission procedures according to the regulations of the Military school. Accordingly, after meeting the admission requirements, candidates are required to confirm admission online on the system of the Ministry of Education and Training from the time of announcement of the benchmark score until before 5:00 p.m. on September 8, 2023. In addition, candidates must also prepare and complete the admission procedures according to the regulations of the Military school. Military academies and schools will organize the reception of admitted candidates for admission from September 9 to September 12. The specific schedule will be arranged by each school and announced in the admission notice sent to candidates. For example, for the Political Officer School, if a candidate does not confirm admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, the school will not accept the candidate even if he/she meets all admission standards.
