More than 310,000 candidates dropped out of university and college entrance exams in 2025

As of 5:00 p.m. tonight (July 28), 310,489 out of a total of more than 1.16 million candidates did not register their university and college admission wishes on the Ministry of Education and Training's system.

According to information from the Ministry of Education and Training , 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.

The Ministry of Education and Training said the system is operating stably, and there are still some candidates who have submitted their registration information close to the end of the admission process, so the system is continuing to process them.
