However, 2020’s admission score was 25 when it came to considering the total scores of 3 chosen subjects in Grade 12 and was 42 regarding the addition of 5 first semesters average scores in high school.

Apart from the National University Entrance Exam and Competency Exam of HCMC National University, many universities have accepted admission through Academic transcripts, which paves the ways for more students who wish to pursuit this major.

Students will not be pressurized by the University Entrance Exam.” Dr. Tran Thanh Huyen added.
