In addition, there are 70 quotas for 2 specialized classes in the fields of Natural Sciences (Math - Physics - Chemistry - Biology) and Foreign Languages ​​(English - Japanese), each class has a maximum of 35 students.

In the coming school year, Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted will only enroll students with registered residence in Nghe An. Students from outside the province must have the approval of the Provincial People's Committee to participate in the enrollment.

Regarding the admission plan, the school will enroll students in 2 rounds. In which, round 1 will select applications based on criteria of academic performance, conduct and other achievements (if any).

In round 2, students who pass the preliminary round will take exams in Math, Literature, Foreign Language and 1 specialized subject. The scores of non-specialized subjects will be calculated with a coefficient of 1 and the scores of specialized subjects will be calculated with a coefficient of 3.

However, for Math, Literature and Foreign Language (coefficient 1), candidates will not have to take the exam but will get their scores from the 10th grade entrance exam.

This is also the first year Nghe An has re-applied the method of taking Foreign Language exam scores from the 10th grade entrance exam instead of having to take the exam.

The reason is that this year, Nghe An has changed the combined exam subjects (from 3 subjects to 2 subjects and with the English exam structure taking up quite a lot (33/50 questions of the combined exam), so it will be a favorable condition for admission consideration.

Previously, for many years, students taking the entrance exam to Phan only had to take the specialized subject exam, the remaining subjects were Math, Literature, and Foreign Language (taken from the entrance exam scores for grade 10).

However, 2 years ago, because Nghe An applied a combined exam (including Foreign Language and 2 other randomly selected elective subjects), the entrance exam to Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted had to include a Foreign Language exam to get admission scores, in addition to the required specialized subjects (Literature and Math subjects still took scores from the 10th grade entrance exam).

Regarding specialized subjects, candidates taking the exam for a specialized class will take the corresponding specialized subject. For the Computer Science specialized class, candidates can take the Math or Computer Science exam, while candidates taking the Russian specialized class will take the English exam. In addition, candidates can register for a second wish with the Natural Science, Foreign Language, Computer Science, History, and Geography specialized classes based on the specialized subject they registered for.

According to plan, the enrollment time for grade 10 will be June 9 and 10, 2020.
