Will the early admission target in the enrollment for undergraduate programs in 2025 be under 20% of that for each training major in Vietnam?

In the Draft Circular on the promulgation of the Regulations on enrollment for undergraduate programs download, the early admission target in the enrollment for undergraduate programs in 2025 must be not more than 20% of that for each training major in Vietnam:

The draft regulations on enrollment for undergraduate programs for 2025 by the Ministry of Education and Training limits early admission to a maximum of 20% of the target, misleadingly suggesting that the remaining 80% must rely on graduation exam scores. However, this is a misinterpretation, as early admission is merely a phase before the general admission period and does not limit enrollment methods.

Institutions might use diverse methods such as academic records at the upper secondary level, IELTS, SAT, or competency assessment scores in both admission rounds. A notable change is the requirement for academic records at the upper secondary level to use academic results of 2nd semester of 12th grade, so institutions must wait until the end of the academic year to receive applications instead of early announcing results  as before. These adjustments aim to increase fairness and transparency in enrollment.
