Why combinatorial mutation?

Speaking to VietNamNet reporter, Ms. Hoang Thanh Tu - Deputy Head of Information and Communication Department, Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Sciences, said that this year there are many changes in the admission regulations, graduation exam regulations and many new subjects appear. At high school level, students are allowed to register for elective subjects, so the school has expanded the subject combination for admission, creating conditions for candidates to have more choices when registering for admission to the school.

According to Ms. Tu, many majors have up to 17 subject combinations for admission, but the school has considered them very carefully because these subject combinations all have capacity requirements and are suitable for the major. Therefore, the school takes advantage of expanding the subject combinations in majors so that candidates can register, not limiting them to only 4 subject combinations as before. In addition, some new subjects in admission such as Agricultural Technology, Literature, Geography have never been considered for admission before, but this year they will be considered in new majors.

Ms. Tu noted that candidates are not limited in subject combinations when considering admission, but they should not register for too many subject combinations in one major or one school because it will lead to difficulty in control and costly expenses.

In 2025, Ho Chi Minh City University of Science will use 3 admission methods, including: Direct admission and priority admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, Ho Chi Minh City National University, combining international language certificates (IELTS/TOEFL iBT) with high school academic results; Admission based on the results of the High School Graduation Exam; Admission based on the results of the 2025 Ho Chi Minh City National University Competency Assessment Exam.
