For many years, most of the 12th-grade students have been participating in only one exam, which is the high school exam organized by the Ministry of Education and Training -- and this is considered the most thorough and the only enrollment method. The fact that the students' chances of being accepted into the University of their choice depend completely on an exam proves to have many shortcomings and it is not enough to accurately assess the capacity of learners.

Therefore, in order to tackle this issue, in 2019, in addition to recruiting according to three main methods of reviewing results from the National University Entrance Exam and reviewing grade 12 high school transcripts and academic records, and reviewing the results of the ability assessment test of HCMC National University, HCMC Nguyen Tat Thanh University will have new admissions methods. Accordingly, the school will organize a separate entrance examination for university degrees in 2019 with nearly 20% of admission criteria.
