Another university announced the difference in D01 and C00 benchmark scores.

On the evening of July 23, the Diplomatic Academy announced the threshold for ensuring input quality (floor score), the difference between admission combinations according to the method of using high school graduation exam scores in 2025. According to this announcement, for the same admission major, the D01 benchmark score will be 3 points lower than C00. Thus, after the military school block, another university has issued regulations on the difference between D01 and C00 benchmark scores.

Specifically, the deviation between the admission combinations using the 2025 high school graduation exam results is regulated by the Diplomatic Academy as follows: admission subject combination C00 is 3 points higher than admission subject combination D01; admission subject combinations A00, A01, D01, D03, D04, D06, DD2, D07, D09, D10, D14 and D15 are not have point deviation

Regarding the minimum score, the Diplomatic Academy sets a level of 25 points for the C00 combination, and 22 points for all other combinations (including A00 and D group combinations). For D group combinations, candidates can use the international certificate conversion score according to the Diplomatic Academy's regulations to calculate the threshold to ensure input quality.

For candidates who graduated from high school before 2025, applying for admission by the combined method based on academic results and international certificates, the floor score applied according to the input quality assurance threshold of the Diplomatic Academy in the year the candidate graduates.

For candidates using the A-level certificate of the University of Cambridge Examinations Center (UK) or the IB Diploma, the minimum score is 24 points (determined based on the total admission score after conversion).
