Ministry of Education and Training 'eliminates' 4 admission methods in 2025, stops direct admission according to separate project

According to regulations, this year candidates can register, adjust and supplement their university admission wishes from July 16 to 28.

Compared to last year, the Ministry of Education and Training reduced 4 methods, including:

• Consider combining direct admission with other options (302)
• Direct admission according to the school's own project (303)
• Combining international certificates with other criteria for admission (code 408),
• Combine interview with other criteria for admission (code 412).

Add 1 method: Use SAT international certificate or other qualified international certificate for admission (code 415).

19 detailed admission methods in 2025 are as follows:

According to the announcement of the Ministry of Education and Training, in the 2024 admission season, more than 52% of candidates were admitted based on high school graduation exam scores, and nearly 28% of candidates were admitted based on high school transcripts.

The remaining number were admitted based on the method of considering the test scores to assess capacity and thinking (3.36%); combined admission between direct admission according to the project (1.96%) and other methods; other methods (including 12 methods) (13.33%).

The Ministry of Education and Training assessed that schools using too many admission methods can cause information confusion for candidates. Meanwhile, many methods do not exist, or very few candidates register, so they are ineffective.

Faced with this reality, the Ministry recommends that schools should consider eliminating ineffective admission methods, and at the same time need to have an admission plan that ensures fairness between admission methods such as not dividing quotas according to admission methods or admission combinations; and setting equivalent admission scores.

The Ministry of Education and Training further noted that this year's admission season will no longer include early admission, while the consideration of high school transcripts requires the use of the results of the entire 12th grade.Educational institutions must publicly disclose the rules for converting scores equivalent to admission scores.

According to the plan, the 2025 high school graduation exam will take place on June 26-27. Candidates studying the current general education program (2018) must take 4 exams, including Math and Literature. In addition, candidates choose two subjects: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geography, History, Economic and Legal Education, Information Technology, Technology and Foreign Languages.

The group following the old program (2006) will take the Literature, Math, Foreign Language exams and one of two exams: Natural Science or Social Science.
