a) Candidates with severe disabilities who have a disability certificate issued by a competent authority in accordance with regulations, and who are capable of studying certain majors at the Banking Academy but are unable to apply through the normal admission method;

Method 2: Admission based on high school academic results

How admission scores are calculated for standard training programs and international joint training programs:

In there:

- M1, M2, M3 are the average scores of the subjects in the subject combination of the registered major over three years of study, rounded to two decimal places, with M1 being the main subject.
* For subject combinations: A00, A01, D01, D07, D09, the main subject (M1) is Mathematics.
* For subject combinations C00, C03, D14, D15, the main subject (M1) is Literature.

How admission scores are calculated for standard and high-quality training programs:

In there:

- M1, M2, M3 are the average scores of the subjects in the chosen major over three years of study, rounded to two decimal places. M1 is defined as Mathematics, and M2 as English.

M1 = (Average score for subject 1 in grade 10 + Average score for subject 1 in grade 11 + Average score for subject 1 in grade 12)/3
M2 = (Average score for subject 2 in grade 10 + Average score for subject 2 in grade 11 + Average score for subject 2 in grade 12)/3
M3 = (Average grade for subject 3 in grade 10 + Average grade for subject 3 in grade 11 + Average grade for subject 3 in grade 12)/3

- Bonus points for encouragement:
+ Group 1: Candidates who win a consolation prize in the national excellent student competition will receive 1.5 points; those who win first, second, third, or consolation prizes in the provincial/city-level excellent student competition will receive 1.0, 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25 points respectively (subjects for which points are awarded: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, History, Geography, English, Informatics).
+ Group 2: Candidates from specialized high schools: add 0.5 points.

Method 3: Admission based on international certificate results

How admission scores are calculated:

Admission score = Converted Certificate of Eligibility score x 3 + Priority points

In there:

- Priority points: priority points based on region and category as per current admission regulations.
- The converted international certificate score is the score of the corresponding international certificate converted to a 10-point scale, specifically as follows:

IELTS (Academic)	TOEFL iBT	SAT	Points converted on a 10-point scale.
6.0	72 - 80	1200 - 1250	8
6.5	81 - 90	1251 - 1300	8.5
7.0	91 - 100	1301 - 1350	9
7.5	101 - 110	1351 - 1400	9.5
≥ 8.0	≥ 111	≥ 1401	10

Method 4: Admission based on the results of aptitude tests.

VAT

Scoring method: Since the maximum score for a subject in the VSAT exam is 150, to convert to a 30-point scale, the admission score for the VSAT-based admission method is determined as follows:

- Priority points: priority points based on region and category as per current admission regulations.

HSA test score	Points converted on a 10-point scale.
85 - 94	8
95 - 99	8.5
100 - 104	9
105 - 109	9.5
≥ 110	10
