The University of Transport will adjust to give priority to training programs/majors related to high-speed railways and urban railways as well as microchips and semiconductors.
"Tightening" early admission does not affect major schools
Talking to Dan Viet Newspaper, Dr. Pham Thanh Ha, Head of Training Department of the University of Transport, said: "For many years now, early admission of highereducation institutions has become popular, among the early admission methods is the admission method based on high school transcripts.
Early admission based on high school transcripts has become one of the main methods of some higher education institutions, especially those that are not in the top.

The early admission process of higher education institutions is independent, so candidates can apply to many schools and may be eligible to be admitted to many different schools, while they can only study at one place, leading to the phenomenon of virtual admission (students are admitted but do not enroll).
Normally, schools will reserve a certain quota of 20%-50% for this method, however, due to the virtual phenomenon, schools will have to take the number of qualified candidates many times higher than the determined quota. Due to the inability to control the real wishes of candidates and other objective conditions, the number of successful candidates has been much higher than the initial quota, even occupying all the quota for other methods. Schools are forced to reduce the quota for other methods such as considering the results of the high school graduation exam, which causes the high school standard score to be pushed up very high, causing unfairness in enrollment.
The draft amendment to the 2025 admission regulations aims to address the above issue by stipulating that the early admission quota is determined by the training institution but does not exceed 20% and the number of candidates announced to be admitted does not exceed the announced early admission quota. With this regulation, the number of early admissions based on high school transcripts of schools will be very low, and some majors will even have no candidates after the nationwide virtual screening.
Personally, I think this regulation will not affect large schools or schools with a long history of training, but local schools and some private schools will have certain difficulties."
Adjusting study priorities at the University of Transport
Dr. Pham Thanh Ha also said: " The Ministry still allows schools to consider early admission, but it will be reserved for candidates with outstanding abilities. Early admission based on high school transcripts will no longer be effective because it is bound by quotas and the number of admission notices as discussed above, so many schools will abandon the early admission method based on high school transcripts.
However, for some schools, high school transcripts are still a major source of admission and schools will have to consider considering high school transcripts at the same time as considering high school exam results. But if considered at the same time, the same scale and equivalent conversion points must be used, which is also a difficult problem.
In my opinion, if the admission is conducted in the same round, the Ministry should consider letting schools decide the quota for each method instead of converting to equivalent scores because arbitrary conversion will affect the quality and fairness of admission.
In general, there will be disruptions in the school's admissions process, but schools will be more responsible in determining methods and targets, and most importantly, the admissions results will be fairer."
Regarding the enrollment work of the University of Transport in 2025, Dr. Ha said that the University plans to maintain the general training target for the whole school but will adjust it to prioritize training programs/majors related to the fields of high-speed railways and urban railways as well as the field of microchips - semiconductors.
Regarding the admission method and combination, the School will keep it stable as last year. However, after the 2025 admission regulations are officially issued, the School will make appropriate adjustments to ensure fairness and efficiency in admission.
