How to deal with the candidate who passed NV1 with 29 points but failed the university entrance exam for an unexpected reason?

Lang Duc Bang, a student at Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School No. 2, scored 29 points in block C00 in the 2025 high school graduation exam, with 9.25 in Literature, 9.75 in History, and 10 points in Geography. Thanks to the priority points, his total score was 29.37 - he was admitted to the Border Guard Academy.

However, a few days after enrolling, the results of the health check at the school showed that Bang had hepatitis B. The school created conditions for him to be treated at the hospital for 11 days, but the test results were still positive. On September 27, according to the regulations of the Ministry of National Defense , Bang was forced to return to his hometown.

Previously, Bang registered his second choice for the History Pedagogy major at Vinh University. This school ended the second round of additional admissions at 11:59 p.m. on September 16. However, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, universities can still consider additional admissions until December 31 every year. Therefore, Lang Duc Bang still has a chance to enter university if the next school of his choice still has quotas and agrees to accept him.

“Universities can absolutely accept Lang Duc Bang, but they are afraid that his studies will be more difficult due to his late admission. If Bang commits to self-study and keeping up with the program, they can still consider him for admission,” said the head of the training department of a southern university.

According to this person, cases like Lang Duc Bang are not rare. Over the years, there have been many candidates admitted to military and police schools with high scores but then eliminated because they did not meet health requirements or other special factors. At that time, military or police schools often send official dispatches to the Ministry of Education and Training to report, and at the same time send information to the universities where the candidates registered their next wishes to create conditions for candidates to be admitted.

“Our school still has 1-2 cases like that every year. When we receive an official dispatch from the military or police school, we will contact the candidate, verify the situation and accept the student as normal,” he shared.

Associate Professor To Van Phuong, Head of Training Department of Nha Trang University, acknowledged that this was the case of a candidate with excellent academic achievements, difficult family circumstances and being an ethnic minority. Due to unavoidable health reasons, he could not continue his studies at the military school and wished to continue his studies in the Pedagogy major he had registered for.

In such special cases, universities should consider flexible and humane solutions, on the basis of compliance with current regulations, to ensure legitimate learning rights for candidates, especially those in difficult circumstances, ethnic minorities, and those who always strive to improve, which is very valuable.

“In fact, if they knew about this situation, many schools would proactively and flexibly accept and provide necessary support such as scholarships or living expenses, so that students can continue pursuing their studies,” Associate Professor Phuong said.

Mr. Pham Thai Son, Admissions Director of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, confirmed that a few days ago, his school completed the procedures to accept a similar case. A candidate named Tong Thai Huy, with 27.5 points, was admitted to the Political Officer School but was rejected due to health reasons. After the military school sent a dispatch to the Ministry of Education and Training and requested other universities to consider, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade contacted, learned about and accepted Huy to study.

“Cases like Lang Duc Bang’s happen every year. Military and police schools are very serious about checking additional conditions after admission, but they are also very responsible for candidates. When they discover that candidates have to drop out of school due to unavoidable reasons, they always have a written request for other universities to accept them, to avoid disadvantages for candidates,” said Mr. Son.

Mr. Son also said that according to the regulations of the Ministry of National Defense, the wish to enter military schools must be placed in the first position (wish 1). The following wishes, such as the History Pedagogy major that Lang Duc Bang registered for, are still in the group of wishes 1 but are ranked later. Therefore, handling Bang's case is completely favorable if there is coordination between the Border Guard Academy, the Ministry of Education and Training and Vinh University.

“This case is very simple to handle. The important thing is to sympathize and support the candidate. If there is an official dispatch from the Border Guard Academy, universities should proactively accept it, because this is a force majeure reason. Don’t let a good candidate who has a desire to study lose the opportunity just because of illness,” Mr. Son emphasized.

According to admissions experts, the university has not yet finalized its enrollment target for 2025. According to regulations, after December 31, new schools must report official enrollment data to the Ministry of Education and Training. Therefore, if Vinh University still has quotas and agrees to accept Lang Duc Bang, he can completely enroll this year.
