The New Generation Student Program 2025 has identified the 6 best teams after the group stage rounds, including 3 representatives from the North and 3 from the South. In episode 7, the top three teams from the North will officially enter the Practical Round, a challenging test requiring the ability to transform ideas into concrete products.
In this round, teams will have 48 hours to implement their projects in practice, aiming to convince the judges of their feasibility and effectiveness. This is a crucial stage to test the practical capabilities of students after the ideation and planning process.

Projects competing in the North
Before embarking on the challenge, the teams participated in a training session with experts to finalize their 10-step project implementation plan. The three teams from the Northern region presented diverse and socially impactful projects:
- School of Management and Business - Vietnam National University, Hanoi:The community project "Rising with the Digital Platform" supports people with disabilities in learning and working online, creating opportunities for sustainable inclusion.
- Hanoi University of Architecture:The project "New Dong Ho with Vietnamese Festivals" applies folk art to urban space decoration, honoring Vietnamese cultural identity in a modern context.
- Hanoi Law University:The "CineLaw" project, which communicates legal information through short case studies, helps the community more easily access and better understand legal regulations.

The 48-hour challenge and the element of surprise.
The rules for the Practical Round require teams to complete as many steps as possible in their proposed plan within 48 hours. The team with the highest score will qualify directly for the national finals. The remaining four teams will have to compete in an additional play-off round.
One dramatic element of the competition round was the "Unexpected Challenge," randomly presented by the organizers. In the first match, the Northern teams received notification of a schedule change for a crucial activity, forcing them to adjust their tactics immediately. This element not only tested their execution skills but also challenged the teams' flexibility and crisis management abilities.

The initial results are promising.
After 48 hours, all three teams made a strong impression. The School of Management and Business's project received endorsements from 5 KOLs. Hanoi University of Architecture received 80% positive feedback from surveyed consumers. Meanwhile, Hanoi Law University's project was highly praised by experts for its conciseness and ease of understanding.
The detailed developments and outcome of this confrontation will be broadcast in episode 7 of the "New Generation Students 2025" program, at 8 PM on December 21st on VTV3 channel.
