To be specific, under Clause 7 Article 1 of Circular 16, it is stipulated that after obtaining high school graduation exam results, candidates are allowed to adjust their registration aspirations three times within the prescribed time frame, using the online method.

Currently, under Point b, Clause 5, Article 10 of Circular 09/2020/TT-BGDDT, it is stipulated that after obtaining high school graduation exam results, candidates are allowed to adjust their registration aspirations once within the prescribed time frame, either by online or directly at the examination registration venue.

In subsequent admissions rounds after the first round, candidates will register for admission and submit the fee according to the training institution's regulations.

Currently, for the first round of admissions, candidates submit the Aspiration Registration Form along with the high school graduation exam registration dossier according to the Department of Education and Training regulations, along with the aspiration registration fee. In subsequent admissions rounds after the first round, candidates will register for admission and submit the fee according to the school's regulations.

- Regarding the announcement of successful entrance exam candidates in Vietnam:

+ The Admissions Council of the training institution will send admission notices to successful candidates when they have met all the admission conditions as stipulated in these Regulations and the training institution's regulations, stating the necessary procedures for candidates upon admission.

+ For candidates taking the high school graduation exam in the admission year, the training institution is only allowed to use the original Certificate of Examination Results as a basis for confirming admission (currently there is no such regulation).
