When will universities announce admission scores for 2025?

The registration period for university and college applications in 2025 officially closed at 5:00 p.m. on July 28. According to quick statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training , an impressive number was recorded: more than 7.6 million applications were registered, accounting for more than 73% of the total number of candidates. On average, each candidate selected nearly 9 applications.

Notably, this year the number of candidates registering for admission has increased by more than 115,000 compared to last year, partly thanks to more candidates from vocational colleges.

After "closing" their wishes, candidates need to pay the admission fee online from now until 5:00 p.m. on August 5.

From August 13 to August 15, the Ministry's units coordinated with training facilities to review the database on the system.

The general virtual screening application processing process starts from August 16 to 5:00 p.m. on August 20.

The system will conduct virtual filtering of the Ministry of Education and Training 6 times to produce the final admission results.

In addition to the general virtual filtering, training institutions can participate in the Northern virtual filtering group chaired by Hanoi University of Science and Technology and the Southern virtual filtering group chaired by Ho Chi Minh City National University.

At the decisive stage, training institutions will enter the admission scores (standard scores) and admission results into the system at 5:00 p.m. on August 20. At the same time, the units will 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.

The general admission system of the Ministry of Education and Training will process and determine the highest wish among the wishes for which the candidate is eligible to be admitted.

Candidates confirm online admission for the first round on the common system of the Ministry of Education and Training before 5:00 p.m. on August 30.

The following milestones candidates need to note in the 2025 admission season:

The admission principles are stipulated by the Ministry of Education and Training in Circular 08/2022/TT-BGDDT. The admission score is determined so that the number of students recruited for each major and training program is consistent with the announced quota, but not lower than the input threshold.

For a training program, major, or group of majors, all candidates are considered equally based on the admission score and equivalent converted admission score according to each admission method and admission combination, regardless of the priority order of registration wishes, except in the case specified below.

In case many candidates have the same score at the end of the list, the training institution can use the secondary criterion of preference order to select candidates with higher preference order.

The use of regional and subject priority points for admission must be consistent and consistent with the regulations on priority points specified in Article 7 of the Regulations issued with Circular 08/2022/TT-BGDDT.

In 2025, high school graduation exam scores will decrease significantly, so this year's admission floor scores of many universities will decrease sharply. Many experts predict that the benchmark scores will also tend to decrease.

On the other hand, the conversion of scores is becoming complicated as each school has its own method, leading to candidates, parents and even schools being "dizzy" with the conversion formula.
