Entering the enrollment season in 2026, many universities across the country have announced their expected enrollment methods, in which the trend of promoting combined admissions has been expanded.
Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Engineering has just announced the enrollment method expected to be applied in 2026, with the orientation of combining multiple criteria to expand admission opportunities for candidates, while ensuring input quality.
Accordingly, the school plans to use 3 enrollment methods as follows:
- Method 1: Direct admission according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training and priority admission according to the separate admission plan of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Engineering.
- Method 2: Admission based on the results of the high school graduation exam, high school academic results and the results of the competency assessment exam of Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City. This method does not apply to majors with admission combinations including aptitude tests.
Method 3: Admission consideration combined with high school graduation exam results, high school academic results, competency assessment exam results of Ho Chi Minh City National University, along with aptitude test results organized by Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Engineering.

Accordingly, in 2026, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Engineering will use the main enrollment method of combining many criteria.


For Van Lang University, the school has supplemented the method of considering competency profiles, in order to assess candidates in a comprehensive, multi-dimensional direction, in line with the spirit of innovation of the 2018 General Education Program with three main parts including: High school learning process (grades 10, 11, 12), personal assessment according to industry orientation - career vision and foreign language skills. This plan aims to help better identify the suitability of candidates for each training major.
