Floor score for military schools in 2025.

The Military Admissions Board of the Ministry of National Defense noted that the above scores are based on a 30-point scale of the admission combinations from the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam and include incentive points and priority points.

In case candidates have the capacity assessment test scores of VNU-Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City National University, they will be converted to a 30-point scale for admission consideration. The capacity assessment test is converted according to the admission combinations of each school, not including incentive points and priority points; the result of the highest converted combination will be considered for admission consideration.

The deviation of converted scores from the competency assessment test between groups is as follows:

The score for receiving application for admission according to the D01, D02, D04 combination of the Military Science Academy is the score without multiplying the coefficient for the Foreign Language subject. The academies and schools enroll students in the Northern and Southern regions according to the administrative boundaries before the merger.

In addition, the Border Guard Academy and Army Officer School 2 recruit candidates from the South according to the quota of each military region including: Military Region 4 (candidates with permanent residence in Quang Tri province, Hue city according to administrative boundaries before the merger), Military Region 5, Military Region 7 and Military Region 9.

In 2025, military schools will recruit nearly 4,400 students, using 3 admission methods, including: Direct admission, priority admission according to the university admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, regulations of the Ministry of National Defense; Considering the scores of the capacity assessment test organized by Hanoi National University and Ho Chi Minh City National University in 2025; Considering the results of the high school graduation exam in 2025. Thus, compared to last year, military schools have abandoned the method of considering high school transcripts.

Regarding the admission combinations, this year the Military schools use 13 combinations. The schools add bonus points for candidates who have won national, international, and provincial awards for excellent students, students with international language certificates equivalent to 5.5 IELTS, or SAT from 1,068/1,600.
