The combined admission method is the main admission method used by the National University of Technology - Ho Chi Minh City for many years (accounting for 95-99% of the total target), different from the admission method of other schools.
The method of calculating scores is combined with many criteria (academic transcript scores, high school graduation exams, competency assessment, etc.).
Recently, Ho Chi Minh City National University announced that from 2026, all of these universities will use the integrated admission method as the main method, in parallel with direct admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
Thus, in addition to the University of Science and Technology, the remaining member schools including the University of Natural Sciences, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the University of Health Sciences, the University of Information Technology, the International University, An Giang University and the University of Economics and Law will all consider admission by combined method. Previously, these schools often applied 3-5 enrollment methods.
According to Ho Chi Minh City National University, the integrated admission method applies 3 groups of criteria: high school graduation exam scores, competency assessment test scores and transcript scores. In which, the competency assessment test score will play a leading role.
In addition, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry also plans to adjust the admission method in 2026.
The school will use the comprehensive admission method as the main method, including: high school graduation exam scores, competency assessment scores, transcript scores and other outstanding achievements.
Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade said it will start applying the general admission method from 2028.
Previously, a number of schools such as: Ho Chi Minh City Banking University, University of Finance - Marketing, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine... also announced the expected admission methods for 2026.
