Place wishes in order of preference from high to low
According to the instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training, candidates are allowed to register, adjust, and supplement their admission wishes with unlimited number of times from July 16 to 5:00 p.m. on July 28.
To register, candidates must use the granted account to access and process information on the National Public Service System or Portal.
All candidates' admission wishes to training institutions must be registered according to the major/project and ranked in order from 1 to 3, of which wish 1 is the highest. Candidates need to provide full necessary data (according to criteria, conditions, and registration procedures of each training institution) corresponding to the registered major/project.
The Ministry of Education and Training emphasized that all admission wishes of candidates to training institutions will be processed on the system. Each candidate can only be admitted with one of the highest wishes among the registered wishes when ensuring admission conditions.
Ms. Pham Thanh Ha - Deputy Head of the Training Management Department of Foreign Trade University, advised candidates to divide their wishes into three groups: Safety wish group (about 3 wishes with a benchmark score lower than the current score); target wish group, "even-handed" (about 3 or more, in line with the total current score); and "dream" wish group (about 3-4 wishes for entering majors/schools with a benchmark score slightly higher than the candidate's score last year).
Ms. Ha also emphasized that candidates should not limit or choose too few wishes because the Ministry of Education and Training's system does not limit quantity, the important thing is to choose the right wishes.
In particular, candidates should place their wishes in preferred order from high to low, because the system will filter from top to bottom. The final principle is that candidates should not only focus on one school.
To complete the application process smoothly, candidates are encouraged to carefully study the guidance documents and follow the correct, sufficient, and complete the process. If there is any unclear content about reporting information or paying admission fees, candidates can contact staff at reception points or enrollment support staff of training institutions.
