According to information from the Ministry of Education and Training , in 2025, the total number of candidates registering for the exam will reach 852,000 with 7.6 million wishes for more than 4,000 majors and training programs of more than 400 universities and colleges nationwide.
The admission regulations allow candidates to register for multiple wishes without having to choose a method or combination of admissions. Meanwhile, the admission software system will automatically select the method or combination of admissions that is most beneficial for the candidate.
Therefore, the total number of actual admission wishes that must be considered on the system is up to over 50 million (each industry wish considered according to each method and admission combination is considered as one wish on the system), an increase of about 2 times compared to 2024.
"With such a large amount of data, along with diverse admission methods and conditions of universities and colleges, errors are inevitable, even at a very small rate," said the Ministry of Education and Training.

In response to reports of some errors and incidents in university and college admissions in 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training said it has a solution. (Illustration photo)
Most of the admissions errors have been resolved.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, as in previous years, these errors were mainly in the admission input data (admission methods, conditions, admission criteria, evidence of candidates' priorities, foreign language certificates, etc.), some errors were due to manual operations by some schools during the admission process.
However, due to careful preparation and experience from previous years, the number of actual errors has decreased significantly compared to 2024. The Ministry of Education and Training and universities and colleges have assigned staff to work on hotlines to receive feedback and questions from candidates and parents through many channels (via phone numbers and emails on the general admission support system) and coordinate to handle and resolve immediately for the legitimate interests of candidates.
Since the evening of August 23, the Ministry's admissions department has received and forwarded about 20-30 complaints from candidates through all channels to schools for processing each day. According to the admissions regulations, the responsibility for resolving errors lies with the schools. If necessary, the Ministry will support, guide and direct other universities to coordinate in handling the situation.
After listening to feedback on major errors of some higher education institutions, the Ministry of Education and Training has directed and provided timely guidance, and so far most of those cases have been resolved in accordance with regulations.
Based on the situation of enrollment, admission, and incident handling of schools and data across the system, the Ministry of Education and Training affirms that: university and college enrollment in 2025 up to now is taking place on schedule, meeting requirements, ensuring the rights of candidates; the general enrollment system is operating stably.
"The cases that have not been able to access information in the past few days are because the schools have not completed reviewing and completing the data. Those cases have all been resolved promptly and in accordance with regulations. All candidates who meet the admission requirements will certainly be notified of their admission in time to enroll on time," the Ministry of Education and Training emphasized.
Why did the candidate not receive the admission notice?
The Ministry of Education and Training said that to meet the higher requirements of 2025, the general enrollment support software system (including the virtual selection and filtering system) has been upgraded. Although there was an initial overload, it was promptly resolved and completed processing, providing data to schools for timely announcement on August 22.
The Ministry also increased the time and number of virtual filtering times for schools to carefully review data and minimize errors. At the same time, after announcing the benchmark scores, schools will continue to need 2-3 days to review, correct errors and complete the list of successful candidates, notify candidates, and update the Ministry's system to serve candidates to confirm admission.
Thus, from August 22 to August 24, candidates who are admitted to a school will be notified of their admission and can be looked up on the information portal provided by the school. For the group of schools in the North that conduct joint admissions, the announcement of the list of admitted candidates will be undertaken by Hanoi University of Science and Technology as the host unit under the authorization of the schools in the group.
Candidates who do not receive notification of admission or because the school has not completed updating data, has not announced the list of admitted candidates or there are errors.
From 8:00 a.m. on August 25, after most schools had uploaded their admission list data, the Ministry of Education and Training reopened the general admission support system for candidates to confirm their admission. The system is operating completely stably. As of 12:00 p.m. on August 26, more than 560,000 candidates have confirmed their admission (exceeding the total number of candidates admitted in the first round of 2024).
