Method 1: Direct admission and priority admission.
University of Information Technology plans to apply direct admission policy and give priority to the following subjects:
Candidates are admitted directly according to the admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training; Excellent and talented candidates are introduced by the principal of the high school and meet criteria such as good academic performance, good conduct, and outstanding achievements in learning.
Candidates from the list of 149 high schools with priority for admission to Ho Chi Minh City National University (from 2026, priority will only be given to specialized/gifted students); Candidates with high scores in prestigious exams (Informatics Olympiad, Road to Olympia, ICPC, SEA Games, ASIAD...); Candidates with prestigious international certificates (SAT, ACT, A level, IB) with satisfactory results.
Method 2: Admission based on the results of the competency assessment exam (CAP) organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University (HCM National University) in 2025.
Admission score = National High School Exam score + Priority score (if any). Priority score includes international language certificates (IELTS, TOEFL iBT, JLPT...) and priority for subjects and regions according to regulations of VNU-HCM and the Ministry of Education and Training.
