Ministry of Education and Training begins virtual filtering before announcing benchmark scores

Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education,Ministry of Education and Trainingsaid that the virtual filtering principle this year will still be implemented as in 2019. However, the Ministry of Education and Training has reviewed and added a number of functions to support schools in the enrollment software, for example, the function for schools to convert exam scores for candidates with foreign language certificates.

Universities and colleges will install software that is suitable for the admission method they choose. Then, schools download admission data from the national common data system, including test scores, admission wishes, information on priority areas, priority subjects, etc. to run virtual filtering. These data are all encrypted so that candidates' information is not disclosed to the outside.

Information about the candidatesadmittedand confirmation of admission by considering transcripts, certificates, academic scores... will be entered into the system. Thanks to that, when entering the system, these candidates will not fall into other forms of admission, thereby minimizing the number of virtual candidates.

Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Acting Director of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Training.

Schools will base on the results after virtual filtering to decide on the expected admission standard score and virtual rate.

After that, the school continues to upload the expected admission list to the system, and download the virtual filtering results. Thus, the system will run together for 6 times and give the final virtual filtering results.

“Using virtual filtering software to share the data system saves maximum time for schools. Candidates will be admitted to their highest choice according to their wishes and abilities,” said the Director of the Department of Higher Education.

Time to announce university admission scores: It is expected that before 5:00 p.m. on October 5, universities and colleges will announce the first round of admission results.
