This afternoon (August 20), many universities said they will postpone the announcement of the first round of admission scores to August 22 (instead of the expected announcement date this evening, August 20).

Specifically, some schools said they will adjust the schedule for announcing benchmark scores from this afternoon to the evening of August 22, such as: University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University), Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, University of Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University), Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade...

The reason given by the school representatives is to comply with the Ministry of Education and Training's adjustment of the 2025 virtual selection and admission plan. Instead of ending this afternoon, the virtual selection and admission process will last for 2 more days until the afternoon of August 22. From 5:00 p.m. on August 22, the universities will enter the admission scores and admission results into the system to announce the first round of admission results according to the general schedule.

Thanh Nien Newspaper will quickly and accurately update the benchmark scores of universities in 2025 HERE .

In 2025, the number of candidates applying for admission to universities will increase sharply, with some schools recording a three-fold increase in the number of applications compared to last year. However, according to an admissions expert at a university in Ho Chi Minh City, this year's benchmark scores will have unexpected changes that do not follow the pattern of previous years. This comes from changes in the admissions method, especially the correlation function used to convert admission scores equivalent to the admission methods and combinations of each school.
