Which admission methods will 'disappear' in 2025?

In the draft guidelines for university and college admissions, the Ministry of Education and Training announced a list of 17 admission methods (as prescribed by the Ministry).

Compared to last year, the Ministry has reduced 4 methods, including: considering a combination of direct admission according to the project and other methods (code 301); direct admission according to the project of the training institution (code 302); combining international certificates with other criteria for admission (code 408), combining interviews with other criteria for admission (code 412).

At the same time, add 1 method of using international SAT certificate or other qualified international certificate for admission (code 415).

The 17 expected admission methods in 2025 are specifically as follows:

STT	Code	Name of admission method
1	100	Consider high school graduation exam results
2	200	Consider high school academic results (transcript)
3	301	Direct admission according to the provisions of the Regulations
4	401	Consider the test scores to assess capacity and thinking organized by the training institution itself.
5	402	Consider the results of competency assessment tests, thinking assessment tests... organized by other units for recruitment
6	403	Cultural exam organized by training institution for admission
7	404	Using cultural exam results organized by other training institutions for admission consideration
8	405	Combining high school graduation exam scores with aptitude test scores for admission consideration
9	406	Combine high school academic results with aptitude test scores for admission consideration
10	407	Combining high school graduation exam scores with high school academic results for admission consideration
11	409	Combining high school graduation exam scores with international certificates for admission consideration
12	410	Combine high school academic results with international certificates for admission consideration

16	415	Use SAT international certificate or other qualified international certificate for admission consideration
17	500	Use another method

According to the announcement of the Ministry of Education and Training, in 2024, 52.18% of candidates will be admitted based on their high school graduation exam scores, nearly 27.86% of candidates will be admitted based on their academic records. The remaining candidates will be admitted based on their competency and thinking assessment scores: 3.36%; admission will be a combination of direct admission according to the Project and other methods; other methods (including 12 methods): 1.121%.

Also according to the Ministry of Education and Training, from 2025, highereducation institutions must have a plan to convert equivalent admission scores between admission methods and admission combinations to a common scale.

According to the draft guidelines for university and college admissions in 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training requires that the rules for converting equivalents of entrance thresholds and admission scores must have scientific and practical bases, including information such as: statistical data, analysis of academic results of admitted students according to groups, annual high school graduation exam scores; information on detailed score distribution of training institutions organizing exams, and academic results (if the training institution uses admission results).

In addition, the conversion rules/formulas must be simple, easy to understand and convenient to apply. Schools use high school graduation exam score data (or high school learning outcomes data) as the basis for building conversion rules.

At the same time, schools base on statistical data and analyze the learning results of students admitted according to the combinations of previous years.

Specifically, statistics on the number of candidates admitted by each admission method for at least 2 consecutive years; the academic results of each student at the training institution.
