• The conversion table for foreign language certificate results is provided in Appendix 4.

d. Admission score calculation

Admission score (100-point scale) = Competency score + Additional points + Priority points

The admission score is calculated on a 100-point scale and rounded to two decimal places. If an applicant’s admission score exceeds 100 points, the maximum score awarded will be 100 points.

• Additional points = Bonus points + Additional assessment points

• Additional points are calculated on a 100-point scale and are capped at 10 points. If an applicant’s additional points exceed 10 points, the applicant...

• Bonus points: Awarded to applicants who are eligible for direct admission but do not exercise their right to direct admission, as specified in Appendix 6.
• Additional assessment points: Awarded to applicants with outstanding achievements or exceptional talents, as specified in Appendix 7.
• The classification of subjects/fields corresponding to each programme for the award of additional points is specified in Appendix 8.

• Priority points (in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training) = Regional priority points + Applicant category priority points.

• For applicants whose (Competency score + Additional points) < 75 points:

Priority points = Regional priority points + Applicant category priority points.

• For applicants whose (Competency score + Additional points) ≥ 75 points:

Priority points = [(100 – Competency score – Additional points) / 25] × (Regional priority points + Applicant category priority points)

• The conversion table for priority points is provided in Appendix 5.

• Competency score: The competency score is calculated on a 100-point scale and is determined based on the High School Competency Score (High School Graduation Examination results) and the High School Academic Performance Score.

The High School Competency Score is calculated based on the combination of three subjects in the 2026 High School Graduation Examination (or equivalent qualifications, depending on the applicant category). The High School Academic Performance Score is calculated based on the average scores over six semesters for the three subjects in the relevant subject combination during Grades 10, 11 and 12 (or equivalent academic results, depending on the applicant category).

The Competency Score is calculated for each applicant category as follows:

• Applicant Group 1.1

Competency Score = High School Competency Score × 75% + High School Academic Performance Score × 25%

High School Competency Score = (Subject 1 Score + Subject 2 Score + Subject 3 Score × 2) × 2.5

High School Academic Performance Score = (Six-Semester Average Score for Subject 1 + Six-Semester Average Score for Subject 2 + Six-Semester Average Score for Subject 3 × 2) × 2.5

• Applicant Group 1.2

Competency Score = High School Competency Score × 75% + High School Academic Performance Score × 25%

High School Competency Score = (Subject 1 Score + Subject 2 Score + Subject 3 Score × 2) × 2.5

High School Academic Performance Score = High School Competency Score

1.2. Method 2: Admission Based on the Results of the 2026 Competency Assessment Test Administered by Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City

a. Eligible applicants: Applicants who have graduated from high school or hold an equivalent qualification and have valid results from the 2026 Competency Assessment Test administered by Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City.

• Applicants may sit the Competency Assessment Test on multiple occasions and use their highest result for admission purposes.

d. Admission Score Calculation

Admission Score (1,200-point scale) = Total Competency Assessment Test Score + Priority Points

The Admission Score is rounded to two decimal places.

Priority Points = Regional Priority Points + Applicant Category Priority Points

If the total Competency Assessment Test score is 900 points or higher, Priority Points are calculated using the following formula:

Priority Points = [(1,200 – Total Competency Assessment Test Score) / 300] × (Regional Priority Points + Applicant Category Priority Points)

The conversion table for Priority Points is provided in Appendix 5.
