If there are too many candidates with the same admission score, will the universities in Vietnam consider additional criteria for admission?

Based on Article 20 of the University Admission Regulations, College Admission Regulations for Early Childhood Education issued with Circular 08/2022/TT-BGDĐT regarding the evaluation and handling of aspirations according to the general plan as follows:

Evaluation and handling of aspirations according to the general plan

1. Training institutions autonomously organize evaluations according to their own methods and criteria for selection or voluntarily coordinate as a group to organize evaluations according to common methods and criteria for selection. The Ministry of Education and Training guides the evaluation schedule and supports the handling of aspirations on the system.

2. After the period for registering aspirations on the system ends, training institutions download information and data from the system to serve the evaluation, including data on registration aspirations and the results of the National High School Graduation Examination, and high school academic results of candidates applying to the training institution through various admission methods.

3. Evaluation principles:

a) Admission scores are determined to ensure the quantity of admissions in each field, training program consistent with the announced targets, but not lower than the input threshold;

b) For a training field (or training program) according to one method and subject combination, all candidates are equally considered based on their evaluation scores regardless of the priority order of registered aspirations, except as stipulated in point c of this clause;

c) In the case where multiple candidates have the same evaluation scores at the end of the list, the training institution can use a supplementary criterion, which is the order of aspirations (to select candidates with higher aspiration order);

d) The use of regional and subject priority points for evaluation ensures consistency and synchronization with the priority point regulations stipulated in Article 7 of these Regulations.

Thus, in the case where multiple candidates have the same evaluation scores at the end of the list, the training institution can use a supplementary criterion, which is the order of aspirations.

Organization of registration and direct admission

2. The training institution organizes direct admission evaluations for eligible candidates and announces the results according to the general plan.

3. Candidates who are directly admitted can confirm their enrollment early (when eligible), or according to the general plan like other candidates; the training institution cannot require candidates to confirm their enrollment earlier than the schedule according to the general plan.

4. Candidates who are directly admitted but have not yet confirmed their enrollment can still use the right to register for evaluation on the general system to have additional chances of admission like other candidates.
