During this year's admission season, many schools maintain two forms of admission: direct admission and admission on the common system.
Parallel two forms
MSc. Nguyen Thuy Vuong Khanh - Director of Admissions and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City College of Economics - said that according to initial statistics on the Ministry's general admission system,
GD-DT, the school received about 2,700 registration wishes. However, detailed data on the order of wishes has not been announced yet.
"We saw information from the first 10 candidates, of which 3-4 ranked Ho Chi Minh City College of Economics as their first, second, third or fourth choice," said Ms. Khanh.
In the first year, many colleges returned to the general admission system of the Ministry of Education and Training. Therefore, in addition to the direct application method, Ho Chi Minh City College of Economics allocated a quota specifically for this method.
Some majors are currently reserving 10-20% of their quota, some 50%. However, according to Ms. Khanh, the above figure of 2,700 wishes still does not reflect much. If about 30% of these are admitted, there will be about 900 qualified candidates. However, the actual admission confirmation rate may drop to 500 and the number of those who have completed tuition payment is expected to be around 300.
Dr. Hoang Van Phuc - Principal of Saigon Polytechnic College - informed that the school has received 1,045 registration wishes through the general admission system of the Ministry of Education and Training. The schools are being guided by the Ministry of Education and Training to carry out the virtual filtering process and inform candidates to complete the admission fee according to regulations.
This year, Saigon Polytechnic College has reserved 70% of its quota for direct admission and 30% for admission through the general system. "Because this is the first year of returning to admission through the Ministry of Education and Training's information portal after many years, we cannot predict what the virtual rate will be.
We allocate about 30% of the quota for this form," said Mr. Phuc. If after the first round ends, there is still a shortage of quota, the school will continue to implement additional admission rounds, mainly through the method of considering high school transcripts or good exam scores.

Dr. Dong Van Ngoc - Principal of Hanoi College of Electromechanics - said that currently many colleges, including his school, are being guided by the Ministry of Education and Training on the virtual filtering process as a basis for building appropriate ceiling and floor scores for each training sector.
According to him, integrating into the ministry's general admission system helps schools become more convenient, while also contributing to standardizing the process, making it easier for candidates to look up and access information. However, because they have just re-joined, many schools are still in the process of getting used to it, especially the virtual filtering stage.
Meanwhile, schools are still maintaining the direct admission process. Up to now, nearly 2,500 new students have confirmed their enrollment and will start school this weekend. This number accounts for about 50% of the total enrollment target this year. The remaining number will continue to be allocated for the admission round on the Ministry of Education and Training's common system and subsequent additional rounds.
Dr. Dong Van Ngoc added that, as a vocational school, enrollment is organized year-round, so additional enrollment periods will take place continuously. The school also plans to enroll more than the allowed limit, about 10% of the target, to prepare for the situation where students drop out during the training process.
"Regarding entry requirements, vocational education does not place much emphasis on scores; most only need to graduate from high school to be eligible to study. Candidates with good academic performance or better can apply for high-tech majors such as automation and automotive technology, which are in great demand for highly qualified human resources," he said.
Dr. Bui Van Hung - Principal of College of Technology II - said that this year the school will not participate in the general admission system of the Ministry of Education and Training. Part of the reason is that the school has just transferred from the governing body of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs to the Ministry of Education and Training, so it needs more time to adapt to the new procedures. On the other hand, not participating in the general system also helps the school to be more proactive in the admission process at the present time, from receiving applications to consulting and calling for admission.
Up to this point, College of Technology II has recruited about 60-70% of the total target for 2025. According to Mr. Hung, the school expects to complete the rest in the final stage of the enrollment season, especially when universities have announced the admission results and candidates are starting to tend to choose vocational training to enter the labor market sooner.
Among the training majors, automotive engineering continues to be the group of majors attracting the most candidates to register. In addition, majors related to electronics, automation and industrial electricity are also recording higher interest than in previous years.
Promote training for businesses
Dr. Dong Van Ngoc said that in the coming time, some colleges will also expand training models for workers in enterprises, especially foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) that need retraining to improve the quality of human resources.
For example, at his school, full-time students still make up the overwhelming majority, about 95-97%. However, in the coming time, the proportion of students coming from businesses who need to improve their skills will increase.
Number of candidates registered for admission increased by 115,892
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, by the time the university admission registration portal closed (July 28), the system had received more than 7.6 million applications. More than 310,000 students did not register for admission. The Ministry said the number of candidates registering for admission in 2025 increased by 115,892 compared to last year due to candidates registering for admission to vocational schools.
