Leaders of many high schools in Ho Chi Minh City said that after reviewing the number of candidates who confirmed their admission and submitted their applications directly, the expected quota is not much. Although it is less than the total assigned quota, many schools plan to propose not to recruit additional students to stabilize the number of students and improve the quality of training.
Very few candidates fail the 10th grade public exam.
Looking back at this year’s 10th grade entrance exam in Ho Chi Minh City, it can be seen that the number of candidates failing the 10th grade entrance exam at public schools is very rare. The reason for this is because the number of candidates taking the 10th grade entrance exam this year has decreased sharply, about 26,000 students compared to last year, while the quota for public schools has increased, the standard score has decreased significantly.
The principal of a high school said that students who failed the 10th grade exam had applied for inappropriate choices, and were located in areas with high admission scores for all three choices, so they might not have passed all three choices. These cases are also very rare.
According to the Departmentof Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, on July 13, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City officially announced the results of the re-examination of the 10th grade entrance exam on June 6 and 7. Candidates can view the results of the re-examination at the secondary schools where they study and contact their homeroom teachers directly for more information.

The latest announcement from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that this year, the review will be conducted after the deadline for submitting 10th grade admission applications (regular period). Therefore, after the review results are available, the Quality Management Department - Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training will check and review any changes.
Candidates whose results remain unchanged after the review but have not yet submitted their admission confirmation documents can visit the website to confirm additional information and submit their paper applications directly from July 15 to 17. For those who are admitted after the review, candidates need to contact their homeroom teachers directly for information and instructions on the application submission process.
The HCM City Department of Education and Training also requested secondary schools and 9th grade homeroom teachers at educational institutions to pay attention to the information to support candidates in following the correct procedures. From July 15 to 18, candidates will submit additional admission applications in various categories.
Difficult to recruit additional
Up to now, many high schools are still waiting for candidates who passed the re-examination and those who submitted their applications late. However, initial statistics show that not many schools are conducting additional recruitment.
Mr. Le Thanh Hieu, Principal of Linh Trung High School, said that the school's additional recruitment plan is still waiting for information from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training. However, if possible, the school will only propose to recruit about 20 students. "This year, many schools will have fewer quotas than planned. However, how to allocate additional recruitment quotas appropriately, for the benefit of candidates, we must wait for the official plan from the Department of Education and Training," said Mr. Hieu.
According to Mr. Nguyen Hung Khuong, Principal of Ten Lo Man High School, the school is only short of a few quotas compared to the allocation plan. After the review results are available, the school will also proactively propose not to recruit additional 10th graders for the upcoming school year.
At Nguyen Thi Dieu High School, Principal Duong Van Thu informed that currently, the number of students enrolled is not enough compared to the target for grade 10. According to him, additional recruitment is based on many factors.
"When reviewing, including candidates who passed the review, if there are still enough quotas to open an additional class or almost enough to open an additional class, the school will have different options. If after reviewing, the quotas are still there but not significant, the school will propose not to recruit to reduce the number of students and improve the quality of training," Mr. Thu affirmed.
In the suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Hue, Principal of Binh Tan High School, said that this year the school lacked fewer quotas than the previous school year. As of July 11, the school had received 632/670 applications, while the deadline for late submissions was July 18. Thus, the expected quota is not much left.
According to the 10th grade enrollment plan announced by the HCM City Department of Education and Training, from July 20 to 21, high schools will report the status of successful candidates submitting their admission applications. From July 22, if there is a need, high schools will report the number of additional 10th grade enrollments.
Only consider candidates who have not passed the exam
As expected, the regulations for additional enrollment in grade 10 for the 2025-2026 school year in Ho Chi Minh City will remain the same as the previous school year. Thus, the subjects for additional enrollment in grade 10 are candidates who have taken the entrance exam for grade 10 for the 2025-2026 school year. Public high schools that are eligible for additional enrollment are schools that have not recruited enough actual students compared to the assigned quota.
The conditions for participating in additional admission are that candidates who have not passed any of their wishes to public high schools; must have entrance exam scores in 3 subjects: math + literature + foreign language (and priority points if any) greater than or equal to the standard score of the 3rd wish of the school they want to register for.
