On August 22, most universities across the country announced the benchmark scores for 2025.
In 2025, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, universities are not allowed to divide quotas according to each admission method, at the same time, they must convert the equivalent admission standard scores of all methods and consider from high to low until the quota of each major/training program is exhausted.
