University admission 2022: How are candidates given priority points?
Regarding preferential policies in enrollment, the draft of the 2022 enrollment regulations provides as follows:
Priority by admission area: Maximum bonus is 0.75 points
Priority points for region 1 (KV1) are 0.75 points, for rural region 2 (KV2-NT) are 0.5 points and for region 2 (KV2) are 0.25 points; only applicable to candidates who have graduated from high school (or intermediate).
The admission area of each candidate is determined according to the location of the school where the candidate studied the longest during high school (or college); if the (longest) study time in the areas is the same, it is determined according to the area of the nearest school.
For cases that enjoy regional priority based on permanent residence, including students of ethnic boarding schools; students with permanent residence (during high school or college) of more than 18 months at:
- Communes in region III and communes with particularly difficult villages in ethnic and mountainous areas according to regulations of the Minister, Chairman of the Ethnic Committee and Prime Minister;
- Particularly disadvantaged communes in coastal and island areas; particularly disadvantaged communes, border communes, and safe zone communes included in the investment scope of Program 135;
- Particularly disadvantaged villages and communes in areas as prescribed by the Prime Minister, if studying high school (or intermediate) in a location in a district, town, or city under a province with at least one commune in the particularly disadvantaged area.
Candidates who have graduated from high school and retake the exam to get university or college admission results will not be given regional priority points (such as region 3).
Priority by policy subject: Only the highest score is counted.
The Draft Regulations clearly state: Priority points for group UT1 (including subjects 01 to 04) are 2.0 points and for group UT2 (including subjects 05 to 07) are 1.0 points; applied regardless of the year the candidate graduated from high school (or college).
Priority points for other policy subjects (specified in current legal documents) are decided by the Minister of Education and Training.
Candidates belonging to many policy subjects according to regulations will only be counted for the highest priority score.
Priority scores are determined in accordance with the total score of 3 subjects (in the admission subject group) on a 10-point scale for each exam subject (without multiplying the coefficient); in case the admission method uses a different scale, the priority scores will be converted to an equivalent level.
The table of enrollment areas is as follows:
