"Strange" benchmark of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology

(Dan Tri) - With the comprehensive admission method, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam National University has a standard score of 90 points. This scoring method is "unique" in university admissions.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam National University is one of the leading technical training schools in the country.

In addition to direct admission according to regulations, the school reserves 95-99% of its quota for the comprehensive admission method, which is considered by combining academic scores, cultural and sports achievements, and priority points (if any).

In which, academic score (accounting for at least 80%) includes the results of the capacity assessment test, school report card and high school graduation exam, with the formula:

Academic score = Ability score × 70% + Converted high school graduation score × 20% + Converted high school study score × 10%

This is the "unique" way of calculating scores in university entrance exams for many years.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Bui Hoai Thang, Head of the school's Training Department, because there is only one main method, the school does not convert exam scores or calculate the difference in combinations.

According to the above formula, the two factors that greatly affect the school's admission score are the Ho Chi Minh City National University's competency assessment test score and the high school graduation exam.

Over the past three years, the admission scores of the University of Technology have always been among the top in the South in particular and the whole country in general. In particular, the Computer Science major (standard program) has an admission score close to the 90-point scale. The admission scores for the three years 2022-2024 of this major are 86.3 - 86.9 - 86.7 points.

The following are the changes in benchmark scores over the past 3 years of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology:

According to initial forecasts, the 2025 benchmark score of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology may decrease compared to last year, due to lower graduation exam scores in many subjects and changes in the admission formula.
