"Final" admission for wish 2: Majors with surplus and shortage of quotas

(Baonghean) - September 7 is the last day to finish the second choice and also the time when schools start enrolling candidates who passed the first choice through the national high school exam. At this point, the overall picture of the university and college admission season for the 2015-2016 school year has basically taken shape.

Excess or shortage of local indicators

On the last day of the second round of admission (NV2), the application reception area of ​​Vinh University was still crowded with candidates coming to submit their applications. The school's hotline also continuously rang with many questions from candidates calling for advice and career support. On the school's summary board, as of the morning of September 7, there were over 1,600 NV2 applications, including majors where candidates exceeded their quota. The highest was the Economic Law major, although there were only 200 quotas, the number of candidates applying was up to 309, with the predicted admission score being 21 points. Notably, among the candidates applying for NV2 to this faculty, there were candidates with very high admission scores, equal to the admission scores of the top schools in the country, such as candidates Nguyen Thi Hien with 28.25 points (Faculty of Economic Law) and Pham Thi Hien with 28.75 points (Faculty of Law).

Candidates complete admission procedures at Vinh University.

Although the Faculty of Law and Economic Law has basically run out of quotas, on the last day the number of candidates coming to submit their applications for this major is still quite large. This puts more pressure on candidates and makes the admissions situation on the last day more tense. In fact, most candidates still submit their applications based on the crowd mentality and do not have a clear understanding of choosing a career. Therefore, there are majors that candidates have to compete very intensely; on the contrary, there are majors that have very few candidates registering. For example, the Aquaculture major has only 12 applications, Journalism 35 applications, Control and Automation Engineering 36 applications, Electronic and Communications Engineering 9 applications, Construction nearly 60 applications...

In the 2016 school year, Vinh University has over 5,100 targets. After the first round of admission, the school has recruited over 4,416 candidates (over 80%), of which many faculties have already recruited enough. In the second round with over 1,600 applications, Dr. Nguyen Xuan Binh - Head of Training Department said: Although there are some faculties that do not meet the target, after the second round, the school will end the enrollment to ensure the quality of input for the school.

At Nghe An Pedagogical College, after the NV2 admission round, 1,020 applications/1,210 enrollment targets were received. Although this year's new admission form is predicted to be difficult for lower-ranking schools and colleges, with this result, Mr. Dang Khac Thang, the school's principal, affirmed: This is the school's best enrollment result in the past few years. In particular, there are many departments with excess enrollment sources such as Preschool Education and Primary Education. With over 90% of enrollment targets filled, the school has no plans to enroll NV3. However, after September 22, the school will reconsider if many candidates do not register for enrollment. The two departments with the most difficulty in recruiting students this year are English outside of Pedagogy (currently only 6 applications) and Information Technology, which has no candidates applying. The reason for this is that while building the target, the school closely followed the actual needs of employment. In addition, during the school year, the school promoted propaganda and directly provided counseling at 68 high schools in the province.

Concerns about "fake" candidates

Since the past 2 days, universities in the province have also started enrolling candidates. At Vinh University, with over 4,000 NV1 candidates, the school organized admission in many batches with many consulting groups, supporting and completing procedures for candidates.

In fact, because many candidates have to rush to get admitted, the number of candidates who have to enroll in majors that are not their wishes or interests is quite high. Many candidates also, for this reason, will not enroll but choose to retake the exam in the next round. This is also the reason leading to the situation of "fake" admitted candidates. In addition, according to Dr. Nguyen Xuan Binh, Head of Training Department of Vinh University: This year, at the end of the first round, candidates with the highest scores can have the opportunity to be admitted to 4 wishes, so the school is not sure that all 4,416 admitted candidates will come to enroll.

At Vinh Medical University, the three majors that attract the most students are General Medicine, Preventive Medicine and Bachelor of Nursing, however, on the first day of enrollment, the number of students arriving to enroll has not reached 90%. Only about 400 students arrived to enroll in the College program on the first day, although the school has 800 students. Talking to us, teacher Nguyen Canh Phu, Vice Principal of the school, said: The school will extend the enrollment period to 20 days. If the quota is not enough, the school will consider calling for additional students.

The most worrying are the schools that consider admission based on academic records. For example, at Nghe An University of Economics, after the second round, the school has recruited about 70% of its target, but the school's leaders are still not assured because among these, the number of candidates admitted based on academic records is quite large. Sharing about this, teacher Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, Vice Principal of the school said: "According to regulations, candidates only need to have enough academic records according to regulations to be admitted and we have sent all the notices. But during the application process, candidates only submitted photocopied academic records, so we cannot confirm whether they applied to any other schools besides Nghe An University of Economics or not." Teacher Dang Khac Thang, Principal of Nghe An Pedagogical College also expressed his opinion: In theory, candidates who have passed a school, the Ministry of Education and Training will lock the code and not allow candidates to register for other schools. But in reality, whether it can be managed or not is uncertain. That is also the reason leading to the situation of "virtual" records.

Thus, the NV2 admission round for universities and colleges has ended. However, after NV2 admission, most of the opportunities to enter prestigious universities are not many and that will be a difficulty forcing candidates who have not been admitted to be extremely careful in NV3 admission round. According to the plan, NV3 admission round will start from October 10 - 25. NV4 admission round will start in November but only for colleges.
