In 2026, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade will maintain 5 admission methods including: high school graduation exam scores; 3-year academic transcript scores according to subject combinations; Ho Chi Minh City National University's competency assessment test scores; Ho Chi Minh City University of Education's specialized competency assessment test scores combined with academic transcripts according to subject combinations corresponding to each major and direct admission according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.

According to Mr. Pham Thai Son - Director of Admissions of the school, maintaining many admission methods is a suitable trend today, helping to expand opportunities for candidates and reduce exam pressure when not having to depend entirely on a single exam.

"The flexible admission method helps the school adapt to changes in the high school graduation exam and capacity assessment in the coming years," said Mr. Son.

In particular, from 2026, the school will waive 100% of tuition fees for the entire course and support 3 million VND/month in living expenses for candidates admitted through direct admission.

"This is a commitment to investing in people, creating conditions for talented students to develop comprehensively," Mr. Son emphasized.

From 2028, the school will stop considering transcripts and switch to a comprehensive capacity assessment method, combining transcript scores, high school graduation exam scores and Ho Chi Minh City National University's capacity assessment scores. These factors will be converted into a common scale with different proportions.
