On October 17, Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Thang - Head of Training Department, University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City) said that the main admission method of the school in 2026 is expected to still include direct admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and the general admission method.
"The school has not yet established an admission council, but the information is expected to be the same. Most of the quota is still reserved for general admission, based on exam scores (academic transcript scores, high school graduation exams, competency assessment), academic achievements and literary - physical - aesthetic activities. If any, the adjustments will be technical factors such as the coefficient for calculating component scores and plus points," said Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Thang.
The comprehensive admission method has been the main admission method of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology for many years (accounting for 95-99% of the total target) different from the admission method of other schools.
In 2025, the combined admission score of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology will be calculated on a scale of 100, the quality assurance threshold (bank point) is from 50 or higher.
The scoring method is as follows: Admission score = Academic score + Priority score.
Academic score = Competency score x 70% + Converted high school transcript score x 20% + Converted high school transcript score x 10%.
Subject 1: Candidates with the results of the 2025 VNU-HCM competency assessment exam.
[Capacity score] = [GNL score has a Math coefficient x 2]/15 (Scale 1,500 is converted to a scale of 100).
[converted high school transcript scores] = [Tous exam scores for 3 high school transcript subjects in the combination of]/3 x 10.
[Reversed high school scores] = [Average of the total TB scores of grades 10, 11, and 12 of the subjects in the group] x 10.
In case a candidate in grade 10 studies 1 subject less than the admission combination, and changes the subject from grade 11, the candidate will only have 8 points compared to the normal candidate (with 9 points).
Subject 2: Candidates without results of the 2025 VNU-HCM competency assessment exam.
[Capacity score] = [Converted high school performance score] x 0.75.
[converted high school transcript scores] = [Tous exam scores for 3 high school transcript subjects in the combination of]/3 x 10.
[Reversed high school scores] = [Average of the total TB scores of grades 10, 11, and 12 of the subjects in the group] x 10.
In case a candidate in grade 10 studies 01 subject less than the admission combination, and changes the subject from grade 11, the candidate will only have 8 points compared to the normal candidate (with 9 points).
Priority points are calculated as follows:
Candidates with [ Academic Score] < 75 points: Priority score = [Converted Priority Score].
Candidates with [Accociability Score] ≥ 75 points: Priority score = (100 - [Accociability Score])/25 x [ priorificate converted], rounded to 0.01,
In which, the conversion priority points are calculated as follows:
convert priority point = [performance priority point] + [Preference point for converted area].
Priority score for achievements (other achievements, literature - physical - aesthetics, social activities) is a maximum of 10 points.
Priority points for the target area: maximum 9.17 points, scale 100 (exchanged from the maximum of 2.75 points, scale 30 according to the regulations of the ministry).
The total priority points converted when exceeding 10 will be taken as 10.
In 2026, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry plans to also apply the comprehensive admission method, including the following ingredients: High school graduation, competency assessment, academic records and other outstanding achievements.
The school said it expected the weight of high school graduation exam scores and competency assessment to be larger. The detailed rate will be calculated and announced by the school later.
