The benchmark in 2025 will still be high

It is predicted that the benchmark scores for the 2025 majors of the above schools will still be high. In particular, at Saigon University and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, the benchmark scores for Pedagogy majors are still leading.

"Majors such as Mathematics Education, Physics Education, Chemistry Education at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and Saigon University will be equal to or higher than last year by a maximum of 0.5 points.

The majors of Literature Pedagogy, History Pedagogy, and Geography Pedagogy are expected to increase by about 1-1.5 points compared to last year and may reach the ceiling. The majors of Primary Education and Preschool Pedagogy may also increase a lot due to many support policies for preschool and primary school teachers," said an admissions expert.

A representative of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education revealed that, based on initial data, the admission scores for pedagogical majors this year may increase slightly compared to last year.

Meanwhile, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Information Technology are expected to decrease slightly compared to last year, but will still be the highest at Ho Chi Minh City University of Science and University of Information Technology.

Dr. Nguyen Tan Tran Minh Khang, Vice Principal of the University of Information Technology, said that the school's admission subject combinations all include Mathematics. It is predicted that the admission scores of the University of Information Technology in 2025 will tend to decrease slightly or remain the same compared to 2024. Because this year's Mathematics exam is more difficult and has a significantly higher differentiation, the admission scores for groups A00 and A01 are likely to be lower.

In addition, at the University of Information Technology, in recent years, the number of candidates registering their wishes has often been more than 30,000 while the enrollment target is only 2,000, creating a "supporting force" that makes it difficult for the benchmark to decrease significantly. Top majors such as Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Information Technology may see their benchmark scores slightly reduced, from 0.25 to 0.75 points.

At the University of Economics and Law, Mr. Cu Xuan Tien, Head of Admissions and Student Affairs, said that this year the school will consider admission combinations A00, A01, D07, X25, X26... in which combinations X25 and X26 are new compared to 2024. Because there are 2 main admission subjects, Math and English, the expected benchmark score this year will decrease by 0.5-1.5 compared to 2024. "Hot" majors such as International Business, E-commerce, International Economics, Marketing, Economic Law are often highly competitive and attract many candidates, so the reduction in benchmark scores will be small.
