A series of universities announced their admission methods for 2024.

Regarding the 2024 enrollment direction, Associate Professor Dr. Bui Duc Trieu, Head of Training Management Department of National Economics University, said that the school plans to reserve about 18% of its enrollment quota for the admission method based on high school graduation exam scores (a decrease of 7% compared to 2023).

On the contrary, the school will increase the quota for combined admission to 80%, and direct admission to 2%. In addition, the National Economics University will conduct research to simplify the combined admission method without affecting the rights of candidates.

The University of Commerce said it will open 10 new training programs and is expected to enroll students from 2024 (including 8 international career-oriented training programs and 2 university-level training programs).

Specifically, there are 8 international vocational training programs that have been developed by the school and will be enrolled from 2024. The enrollment scale is 80-100 students/training program. The combined admission method is diverse, but priority is given to candidates with international English certificates.

Two standard training programs will be introduced by the University of Commerce for enrollment from 2024, with the goal of training and providing society with human resources capable of adapting to the digital economy, including: Banking and financial technology (Finance - Banking industry); Digital business (E-commerce industry).

Hanoi National University said that in 2024, it will organize 6 rounds of Competency Assessment exams (from March to June), 2 rounds less than in 2023.

In 2024, the Hanoi National University's Competency Assessment Exam will be held in 10 provinces and cities including Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh (an increase of 3 provinces compared to 2023). The expected scale of the exam is about 75,000 candidates. Candidates can register for a maximum of 2 exams per year; the Competency Assessment exam fee is still 500,000 VND/session.

Hanoi University of Science and Technology has also announced that the 2024 Thinking Assessment Test will take place in 6 sessions, from early December 2023 to mid-June 2024.

6 rounds of thinking assessment in 2024 include: Round 1: December 2-3, 2023; Round 2: January 20-21, 2024; Round 3: March 9-10, 2024; Round 4: April 27-28, 2024; Round 5: June 8-9, 2024; Round 6: June 15-16, 2024.

The exam takes place in the following provinces and cities: Hanoi, Hung Yen, Nam Dinh, Hai Phong, Thai Nguyen, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Da Nang...

Hanoi University of Science and Technology said that the content and format of the 2024 exam will remain the same as in 2023.

The test will consist of three parts: Mathematical Thinking (60 minutes), Reading Comprehension (30 minutes) and Scientific Thinking/Problem Solving (60 minutes) with three levels of thinking assessment (reactive thinking, deductive thinking and higher-order thinking).

The questions are constructed in the form of multiple choice with four types of structures: correct answer, true/false, drag and drop, and short answer. The thinking assessment exam does not focus on testing knowledge, so it does not require candidates to spend much time reviewing, because thinking training has been formed throughout the learning process.
