Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance reserves up to 70% of its quota (4,600) for admission based on academic records. Candidates can use their grade 12 scores based on a combination of three subjects or their average score of three semesters (grade 11 and semester I of grade 12), with a minimum of 18 points or more. Similarly, candidates can use these two groups of scores to apply for admission to 60 majors at Van Lang University .

For Saigon International University, instead of considering the transcripts of 5 semesters as before, the school will consider the results of 3 semesters (grade 11 and semester I of grade 12). Candidates need to have a conduct rating of semester I of grade 12 from good or higher; the average score of 3 semesters is from 6 and the total score of 3 subjects for admission is from 18 points or higher.

In addition, the school considers the 12th grade transcript scores separately. Candidates must have good conduct, a minimum annual average score of 6.5, and a total score of 3 subjects in the admission group of 20 points or more. Compared to previous years, this requirement is higher.
