2016 Admissions Regional Division Table

According to this year's regular university and college admission regulations, priority admission areas have some adjustments compared to 2015.

Accordingly, the recruitment areas are divided as follows:

- Region 1 (KV1) includes: Communes in regions I, II, III in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in the period of 2012 - 2015, communes with special difficulties in coastal and island areas in the period of 2013 - 2015 and communes with special difficulties, border communes, and safe zone communes included in the investment scope of Program 135 in 2014 and 2015 according to current regulations.

- Region 2 - rural (KV2-NT) includes: Localities not in KV1, KV2, KV3.

- Region 2 (KV2) includes: Towns and cities under provinces; towns and suburban districts of centrally-run cities (except communes in KV1).

- Region 3 (KV3) includes: Inner city districts of centrally-run cities. Candidates in KV3 are not eligible for regional priority.

The difference in admission scores between two consecutive regions is 0.5 (half a point) on a 10-point scale.
