In the new junior high school admission regulations, the Ministry of Education and Training clearly stipulates that the entrance exam for grade 10 includes two compulsory subjects: Math and Literature, and a third subject (or combined exam) selected by the Department of Education and Training.
The regulations also stipulate that provinces and cities can announce the third exam subject after the end of the first semester but no later than March 31 every year. The content of the 10th grade entrance exam is included in the general secondary education program, mainly grade 9. The time for the Literature test is 120 minutes, Math is 90, the third subject is 60 or 90 minutes, the combined exam is 90 or 120 minutes.
For high schools under the Ministry of Education and Training, universities, colleges, and research institutes that organize their own entrance exams, the third exam subject or a combination exam of a number of remaining subjects is selected directly by the Ministry of Education and Training, universities, colleges, and research institutes.
Recently, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh issued an official dispatch requesting localities to complete the announcement of the secondary and high school enrollment plan for the 2025-2026 school year in February so that students, teachers, and schools can be proactive.
