Vietnam National University (VNU) has announced a new table of equivalent scores for the 2026 university admission process, aligning scores from the High School Student Assessment (HSA) with those from the national high school graduation exam. This initiative follows directives from the Ministry of Education and Training aimed at guiding university admissions for the upcoming academic year.

The table was developed by VNU's Institute of Digital Training and Testing, which analyzed data from both the HSA and the national graduation exam to create a scientifically sound and objective framework for universities. This framework is designed to assist educational institutions in establishing their own admission score thresholds, ensuring that the selection process is equitable and transparent.

According to the announcement, the equivalent score table is based on a scoring scale of 30 and includes various subject combinations such as A00, B00, C00, and D01. This approach aims to create a reliable reference for educational institutions, allowing them to develop appropriate admission criteria that meet their specific needs.

The release of this table is a significant step in enhancing the fairness of the university admission process in Vietnam, as it provides a clear guideline for institutions to follow. The equivalent scores will help ensure that candidates are evaluated consistently across different assessment methods, thereby improving the overall integrity of the admissions process for 2026.
