According to the regulations of the University and College Admissions Regulations, children of people participating in the resistance war for national liberation, defending the Fatherland and performing international duties are entitled to preferential treatment for subject 06.

To be eligible for this benefit, your father must have a one-time subsidy decision for meritorious people from the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs. In case he has not yet completed the procedures to receive the subsidy and allowance according to regulations, he must have documents proving that he has been awarded the Resistance Medal or Victory Medal or Resistance Medal or Victory Medal.

Candidates are responsible for what they have declared in their application form. For priority areas, if candidates declare incorrectly, the admission software will automatically recognize based on the candidate's high school education and household registration to adjust the priority area accordingly. Therefore, writing the wrong priority area will not have serious consequences.

As for priority subjects, candidates will still be awarded points according to what they declared in their application form. When enrolling, candidates must submit documents proving their priority status. If they cannot prove this, the priority points previously awarded will be deducted. Many candidates have gone from passing to failing due to incorrect declaration of priority subjects.

You need to check whether your father has the above priority documents for international service personnel or not. In case he does not have these documents, on the day of the exam procedure, you should contact the exam council to request to adjust the priority subject to be correct, to avoid the case of passing to failing.
