Today, August 17, the first virtual screening for university admission in 2025 begins

According to the plan of the Ministry of Education and Training , on August 16, the units will upload the database to the system and organize the selection. The first virtual screening will take place from 7:00 a.m. on August 17, with results returned the same day.

From August 17 to 5:00 p.m. on August 20, the Ministry of Education and Training will filter virtual university admission wishes for 2025 nationwide 6 times. (Illustration photo)

In the following days, virtual filtering will be done twice a day until all virtual filtering is done. The last virtual filtering will take place on the afternoon of August 20.

This is a process to ensure that each candidate is only admitted to a maximum of 1 wish in the list of registered wishes, according to the principle of considering from wish 1 to the last wish. From there, it limits the situation of virtual admission, helping schools to implement the enrollment plan conveniently and accurately.

In addition to the general virtual filtering process of the Ministry of Education and Training, universities also formed two virtual filtering groups in the North and the South. The Northern virtual filtering group is chaired by Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and the Southern group is coordinated by Ho Chi Minh City National University.

At 5:00 p.m. on August 20, training institutions will enter admission scores and admission results into the system, review and prepare to announce the first round of admission results.

Thus, from the afternoon of August 20, universities can start announcing admission scores. The results of the first round of admission must be announced no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 22.

After knowing the admission score, all admitted candidates (including direct admission candidates) must confirm their enrollment on the system (if they wish to study) before 5:00 p.m. on August 30.

From September 1 to December, candidates who need to apply for additional admission rounds of the training institution, follow the admission information posted on the training institution's admission information page.

The 2025 high school graduation exam is the first year that candidates will take the exam according to the 2018 general education program. This year, more than 1.16 million candidates nationwide will take the high school graduation exam. Of these, more than 1.12 million are 12th graders, the rest are independent candidates.

According to information from the Ministry of Education and Training, as of July 28, nearly 850,000 candidates have entered their wishes into the system, an increase of more than 115,000 compared to last year (due to candidates registering for admission to vocational colleges). In total, there are about 7.6 million wishes registered for university and college admission in 2025. On average, a candidate registers nearly 9 wishes.

Thus, more than 310,000 candidates gave up the opportunity to enter university and college this year, equivalent to 26.7% of the total 1.16 million candidates.
