July 14th announcement of minimum scores for university and college admissions

2017 is the last year that the Ministry of Education and Training regulates the minimum score to ensure the quality of university and college entrance exams. From the 2018 admission season onwards, universities and colleges of education will determine their own threshold to ensure the quality of their entrance exams.

"It's unlikely that last year's floor score of 15 will increase to 18 or decrease to 13 this year," said Mr. Ga. For many years now,The threshold to ensure the quality of admission to universities and pedagogical colleges is 15.

According to university regulationslocated in the Northwest, Central Highlands and Southwest regions are eligible to consider candidates with permanent residence for 3 years or more, studying for 3 consecutive years and graduating from high school in the provinces in this region with exam results (total score of 3 exams/subjects of the combination used for admission) lower than the threshold to ensure input quality by 1 point. These cases must take additional knowledge for one semester before officially entering school. The additional knowledge program is determined by the principal of the school.

Each candidate is only admitted to one wish.

In the first round, for each school and major, candidates are considered equally based on exam results, regardless of the priority order of their registered wishes. For each candidate, if they register for multiple schools/majors, the selection will be made in order of priority of their wishes; candidates will only be admitted to the highest priority wish possible in the registered list. Candidates registering for admission to schools under the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense, in addition to this regulation, must also comply with the regulations and instructions of the relevant Ministry.

The admission score is the total score of the exams/subjects on a 10-point scale for each exam/subject of each group and is rounded to 0.25; plus priority points for subjects and regions. For candidates with the same score at the end of the list, admission will be considered according to the additional conditions announced by each school. If the quota is still exceeded, priority will be given to candidates with higher wishes.

Successful candidates must confirm their admission within the specified time limit. After this time limit, candidates who do not confirm their admission will be considered as refusing and the school will be allowed to consider other candidates in the additional round.

Universities will announce the first round of admission results by August 1st at the latest.
