Through investigation, it is known that this is a candidate LMĐ. studying at Vinh Phuc Specialized High School (formerly Vinh Phuc province, now Phu Tho).

In a quick conversation with Tuoi Tre Online , D. was also very surprised to learn that the number of his wishes on the system was up to 231.

D. said he intends to study abroad in Australia or Europe after graduating from high school, so he is not too concerned about the university and college entrance exams in Vietnam.

Therefore, D. asked a relative to register his wishes on the Ministry of Education and Training's system. He did not expect to have such a "huge" number of wishes.

D. said you also do not know which relative registered 231 wishes for you, because you asked many people.

How much does it cost to apply for 231?

The Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that the university and college admission fee in 2025 is 15,000 VND for each application. Thus, candidates registering for 231 applications must pay a total fee of 3.465 million VND.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, in 2025 there will be more than 7.6 million applications for university and college admission on the system.
