The benchmark score of Information Technology University in 2025 will decrease, some majors have a floor score of 24

Benchmark scores for industries will decrease but not shocking

Speaking with VietNamNet, Dr. Nguyen Tan Tran Minh Khang - Vice Principal of the University of Information Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University) said that the school's admission subject combinations all include Math, while this year's Math exam was assessed as relatively difficult.

The school predicts that the admission score of the University of Information Technology in 2025 will tend to decrease slightly or remain the same compared to 2024. According to Mr. Khang, an increase in admission score in 2025 is a very unlikely scenario.

The first reason is that this year's high school graduation exam in Math is more difficult and has a significantly higher level of differentiation, making the average admission score for groups A00 and A01 likely to be lower.

The second reason is that in recent years, the number of students registering for the University of Information Technology has been over 30,000 while the enrollment target is 2,000, stable over the years, creating a "supporting force" that makes it difficult for the benchmark score to decrease significantly.

In 2024, the benchmark score for the Artificial Intelligence major at the University of Information Technology will be the highest at 28.3 points. Mr. Khang said that this year the group of "hottest" majors will not change. The leading position in the benchmark score is expected to still belong to majors such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science , Computer Science, and Software Engineering. These are majors with very high demand for human resources and continue to attract the best candidates.

The Vice President of the University of Information Technology predicts that the benchmark scores will decrease differently depending on the major group. For the top majors, there may be a slight decrease of 0.25 to 0.75 points. For majors in the middle and bottom groups, the decrease is more obvious, possibly from 0.75 to 1.25 points.

"The school-wide benchmark scores have been adjusted downward, but there will not be a shock drop due to the school's reputation and position. However, it should be emphasized that these are predictions based on initial analysis. The official and most accurate benchmark scores will have to wait until the Ministry of Education and Training announces the exam score distribution and the school has final statistics on candidates' registration wishes," said Mr. Khang.

There are majors that accept the lowest number of applications for admission: 24.

In 2025, University of Information Technology will conduct admission according to the following methods:

Direct admission and priority admission according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training; Excellent and talented candidates from high schools; Candidates on the list of 149 high schools with priority for admission to Ho Chi Minh City National University; Priority admission according to school regulations; Candidates with prestigious international certificates such as SAT, ACT, A level, IB.

Admission is based on the results of the competency assessment exam organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University in 2025.

Admission based on the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam.

The University of Information Technology also announced the admission threshold based on the Ho Chi Minh City National University's competency assessment exam. According to the expected information, candidates who take the exam in 2025 and score 700 points or more are eligible for admission to all majors of the university. The admission score includes the exam score, bonus points and priority points, in which the maximum bonus point is 120 points for candidates with international language certificates according to the university's regulations.

With the method of considering high school graduation exam scores , the school sets the minimum score for the microchip design major at 24 points, in which the Math subject must have a minimum score of 8 points. All other majors have a minimum score of 22.5 points.

In 2024, the admission score based on high school graduation exam results will range from 25.55 to 28.3. Of which, the Artificial Intelligence major has the highest score of 28.3; followed by Data Science and Computer Science majors at 27.5 and 27.3, respectively.

Regarding the method of considering from the competency assessment test scores, 7 out of 13 majors have a competency assessment benchmark score of over 900/1,200. The highest is Artificial Intelligence with 980 points, followed by Data Science - 935 points. The other 5 majors with over 900 points are Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Information Security and Microchip Design. The remaining majors have an admission score of 850/1,200 or higher.
