The 2025 Wish Selection Festival took place this morning, July 19, in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi . Even though there is still more than a week left until the end of the registration period, there are still many questions from candidates and parents.

Note the sub-criteria

At the general consultation area, Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung - senior expert of the Department of Higher Education ( Ministry of Education and Training ) - shared the latest information on university and college admissions this year.

In the past, the Department of Higher Education has coordinated with Tuoi Tre newspaper to provide admissions consultation for students nationwide. Today is the final consultation session of the Admissions and Career Guidance Program 2025, candidates should take advantage of this opportunity to hear answers to remaining concerns and questions to register for appropriate admission.

According to Mr. Hung, the ministry has announced the score distribution of the exam subjects, so candidates can know where their scores are in the university and college admissions process.

Universities have announced quite complete admission information. With exam results and high school results, students have a basis to register for admission.

The time to register for university admission on the Ministry of Education and Training's admission system will close at 5:00 p.m. on July 28. From July 29 to August 5, pay the admission fee on the system according to the region.

After this time, if candidates do not register to adjust their wishes, schools will consider admission based on the database in the system.

Candidates have the right to register for many wishes and many schools, but can only be admitted to the highest wish in a major at a certain school that correlates with the score and admission conditions of that school.

"When looking for admission information (majors, admission methods, subject combinations, etc.), candidates need to look on the official websites of the schools, in the correct admission year. Candidates need to pay attention to the secondary criteria in the admission process to register.

The issue of using foreign language certificates to be considered for admission must be submitted to the school (if the school has regulations) or can be updated on the system. If this is not done, the foreign language certificate will not be considered for admission," Mr. Hung noted.

Check information about priority points and academic records before applying for admission.

Currently, all data on high school transcript scores, high school graduation exam scores, ability assessment scores, thinking assessment scores and other independent exams will be uploaded to the system by schools... However, candidates need to review information on priority subjects and areas, and three-year high school study results. If there are any errors, they must be adjusted to ensure their rights.

On July 21, the ministry will announce the threshold to ensure input quality for health care majors, teacher training majors, and the difference in scores between high school exam groups.

Regarding the deviation of scores from independent exams (assessing capacity, thinking, etc.), training institutions will deploy and announce, helping candidates know the deviation of scores compared to their exam results in the admission methods and admission combinations. From there, candidates have a basis to register and adjust their admission wishes.

Get official and accurate information before finalizing your wishes.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the choice day in Ho Chi Minh City, journalist Nguyen Hoang Nguyen - deputy editor-in-chief of Tuoi Tre newspaper - said that three days ago, more than 1 million candidates knew the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam. All candidates present at today's festival have the opportunity to enter university or college, they came here to learn more information to choose for the future.

"I hope candidates will think and choose the right direction, suitable for their abilities, strengths and family conditions. To do so, they must have information and need to find accurate, official sources of information.

The explosion of information on the internet has made students wonder whether they should keep their original wishes or adjust or change their wishes based on their scores. This really requires advice from experts and schools at today's event before finalizing their wishes.

Students need to make the most of the opportunity when they are present at today's festival with more than 160 consulting booths from nearly 100 universities and colleges to get advice on choosing a major, choosing a school and issues related to university study," said Mr. Nguyen.
