According to the regulations for admission to 10th grade in the 2026-2027 school year in Ho Chi Minh City, candidates must participate in all three exam subjects, not violate the regulations, and have a score greater than 0 in each subject to be eligible for admission.

At noon on June 1st, Mr. Nguyen Van Phong, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, stated that the first exam session for the Literature subject proceeded safely, seriously, and in accordance with regulations. Security forces were fully present, on duty overnight and at the gates as required, and the exam conditions at the testing sites were normal.

According to the leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, 603 candidates were absent from the first exam session.

All subjects are weighted with a coefficient of 1.

Public high schools only consider applicants who have participated in all required exams, have not violated the regulations during the entrance exam, and have scored more than 0 on all exams. Therefore, students who missed the Literature exam will not be eligible for admission.

On the afternoon of June 1st, candidates in Ho Chi Minh City continued to take the foreign language exam, with a time limit of 90 minutes.
