How to determine full-time university admission quotas in Vietnam?

According to Article 7 of Circular 03/2022/TT-BGDDT, the regulations on determining admission quotas for early childhood education colleges and regular universities are as follows:

Determining Admission Quotas for Colleges and Regular Universities

1. The annual admission quotas for Early Childhood Education Colleges and regular universities are determined up to the total scale of regular training, based on the training capacity of each field (each training field for teacher training sectors), meeting the criteria specified in Article 6 of this Circular minus the total number of currently enrolled regular students at the training institution, and adding the estimated number of graduates in the enrollment year, ensuring compliance with the general principles specified in Article 4 of this Circular.

2. Admission quotas for vertical transfer education to university level in regular format are part of the total full-time university admission quotas, with the proportion of quotas for vertical transfer from intermediate level and college level to university level determined according to current regulations of the Government of Vietnam and the Prime Minister of Vietnam. Admission quotas for vertical transfer education to College level in regular format for Early Childhood Education are part of the total regular college admission quotas of the training institution.

3. For regular vertical transfer education quotas implementing Decree 71/2020/ND-CP dated March 30, 2020, by the Government of Vietnam, which regulates the roadmap for raising the training qualification standards of preschool, primary, and secondary teachers, the Minister of Education and Training shall consider, decide, and announce to the training institutions based on local needs and the training capacity of the institutions.

Thus, the annual full-time university admission quotas are determined up to the total regular training scale based on the training capacity of each field (each training field for teacher training sectors).
