Immediately after the Ministry of Education and Training announced the threshold for ensuring input quality in 2025 for teacher training majors and health majors with practice certificates; comparing the score distribution of some traditional exam score combinations, most higher education institutions also announced the floor scores of training programs and the conversion table of equivalent scores between combinations and admission methods.
This is an important basis for candidates to research and consider before registering and adjusting their university admission wishes on the common system.
Volatile benchmarks
Thanks to preferential policies to encourage students to enter the industry, teacher training continues to receive attention during this year's university admissions season.
Based on the high school graduation exam score distribution data and other factors, according to experts, this year's benchmark for the education industry will increase slightly, but there will be clear differentiation by industry and by school.
Hanoi National University of Education has just announced the minimum score for university admission based on the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam.
Specifically, the threshold to ensure the quality of admission to regular university training programs for candidates in region 3 has a minimum score (without coefficient) of all admission combinations including 3 exams, subjects, not including bonus points, regardless of the exam results of candidates studying the 2006 and 2018 programs, from 18-22 points depending on each major and training program.
Among them, the highest floor score is 22 points for the majors of Special Education ; History Pedagogy.
Majors with a minimum score of 21 include Mathematics Education; Mathematics Education (taught in English); Information Technology Education, Physics Education, Physics Education (taught in English), Biology Education, Literature Education, Geography Education, etc. The remaining majors have a minimum score of 18-19.
Ho Chi Minh City University of Education announced the highest minimum score for teacher training majors. With the method of considering high school graduation exam scores in 2025, the Pedagogy group accepts applications from 19-24 points, of which, 6 majors have a minimum score of 24 points including Pedagogy of Mathematics, Chemistry, Literature, History, Geography, and English.
University of Education - Vietnam National University, Hanoi sets the floor score at 19 points for all majors and groups of majors in 2025.
This level applies to all combinations of 3 exams and subjects (after converting to a 30-point scale), without calculating bonus points, regardless of the exam results of candidates studying the 2006 and 2018 Programs.
For the medical and pharmaceutical sector, the Ministry of Education and Training has announced the floor score of 11 health sectors from 17-20.5. This score has decreased sharply compared to previous years (2 points). In the past 5 years, the floor score of health sectors has been in the range of 19-22.5.
Vice Principal of Hanoi Medical University Le Dinh Tung said that this year, the school's admission combinations include A00, B00, B08, C00 and D01.
For Medicine, Dentistry, Preventive Medicine, and Traditional Medicine, the school only uses one combination B00 (Math, Chemistry, Biology).
Predicting the school's benchmark score this year, Mr. Le Dinh Tung shared that for majors with a benchmark score of over 28 points in 2024, there will not be many changes this year; for majors with admission scores of 27-28 points, the benchmark score will decrease slightly, following the general trend of the score range just announced. Majors with a benchmark score of 26 points or less will decrease more.
The standard score also depends on the adjustment and balance between the admission combinations. The conversion of exam scores between the school's combinations is carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
For other majors such as Economics, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, etc., most schools have announced the minimum admission scores and the conversion table equivalent to the admission scores between university admission methods in 2025. Candidates can find out information on the school's information to register and adjust their admission wishes.
Need a strategy to organize wishes
Ms. Pham Thanh Ha, Deputy Head of the Training Management Department, Foreign Trade University, shared that this year all universities do not determine quotas according to each method or admission combination, but only determine quotas according to each major and training program.
When considering admission, the Ministry's General Admission Support System will automatically select the highest score among the methods and combinations that the candidate has, ensuring the highest benefits for the candidate. Therefore, candidates need to have a strategy to arrange their wishes to increase the chance of being admitted.
Ms. Pham Thanh Ha advised that when placing wishes on the system, candidates should not choose too few wishes, because the system does not limit the number of admission wishes.
You put your preferences in order of preference, the most preferred preference is placed first. The system will run from top to bottom, the candidate who is admitted to a preference will stop at that preference.
In addition, candidates should note that they should not focus all their wishes on one school. For example, candidates who love economics and business can put their wishes on top, middle and lower-ranking schools to increase their chances of being admitted to their favorite major.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Trung, Deputy Head of the Communications and Admissions Department, University of Commerce, said that this year, universities do not have separate quotas for each admission method, so the standard score will depend on the number of candidates admitted based on the test scores of capacity assessment, thinking assessment or admission combined with international certificates and academic records.
If the number of candidates is large, the benchmark score will not decrease much; but if candidates still use high school graduation exam scores for admission, the score will decrease relatively.
In addition, the reduction in admission scores also depends on the attractiveness of the major. Majors that are less interested in candidates will have a deeper reduction in admission scores than majors that are more popular at the school.
Regarding the issue of converting scores to the same scale, Mr. Nguyen Quang Trung said that the school followed the instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training and did not encounter any difficulties because most of the school's methods required candidates to use the scores of at least 2 graduation exam subjects.
Regarding the conversion of equivalent benchmark scores between groups and admission methods, Mr. Nguyen Phu Khanh, Vice Principal of Phenikaa University, shared that in previous years, schools set benchmark scores according to different methods independently, however, this year, the Ministry of Education and Training has stipulated equivalent benchmark scores between different methods. Therefore, universities in general, and Phenikaa University in particular, when announcing the conversion of scores, must be based on the candidates' academic results such as transcript scores, high school graduation exam scores, and general score distribution nationwide.
Candidates should base on the information provided by universities regarding quality assurance threshold scores and score conversion methods to carefully consider and choose appropriate wishes.
According to the instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training, from July 16 to 5:00 p.m. on July 28, candidates can register, adjust, and add admission wishes an unlimited number of times.
Admission requests are ranked from 1 to the end (request 1 is the highest request). All admission requests of candidates to the university will be processed on the System.
Each candidate will only be admitted to the highest choice among the registered choices when ensuring the admission conditions./.
