According to new regulations from the Ministry of Education and Training , universities will not divide their quotas according to each admission method as in previous years. Instead, all admission scores will be converted to the same scale and considered from high to low, without distinguishing between high school graduation exam scores, school records or competency assessment exams.
This is an important change that candidates need to pay special attention to, because if they do not fully register the appropriate industry code and method code on the system, it can lead to losing opportunities even if they have enough points.
