August 26, The Ministry of Education and Training said that in 2025, the total number of candidates registering for admission 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 total number of actual admission wishes that must be considered on the system is up to more than 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.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, 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.

These errors are mainly due to errors in admission input data (admission methods, conditions, admission criteria, evidence of candidate priority, foreign language certificates, etc.), some errors are due to manual operations of some schools during the admission process.

Since the evening of August 23, every day the ministry's admissions department has received and forwarded to schools for processing about 20 to 30 complaints from candidates through all channels.

According to the admission regulations, resolving errors is the responsibility of the schools. If necessary, the ministry will support, guide and direct other universities to coordinate the handling.

"After listening to feedback on major errors of a number of higher education institutions, the Ministry of Education and Training has promptly directed and guided, and so far most of the errors have been resolved in accordance with regulations," the Ministry of Education and Training informed.

In recent days, Tuoi Tre Online has received a lot of information reflecting errors in admissions that have caused many candidates to fail, including candidates applying to Ho Chi Minh City Banking University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, Foreign Trade University, University of Pharmacy - Hanoi National University ....

Among them, there are candidates who meet the standard score in the higher choice, but the general admission portal shows that the candidate failed and was admitted in the lower choice and vice versa. Many choices cannot display the status of passing or failing.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, as of 12 noon on August 26, more than 560,000 candidates had confirmed their successful enrollment (exceeding the total number of candidates enrolled in the first round of 2024).

Based on the situation of enrollment, admission, error 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, as required, ensuring the rights of candidates.

All qualified candidates will be notified of their admission in time for on-time enrollment.
