The remaining 1% of the quota will be filled by direct admissions at International University (IU), following regulations set by the Ministry of Education and Training, as outlined in the university's plan announced on 11/4.

Under the composite admission method, the university will use high school graduation exam scores, academic transcripts, and competency assessment test scores. All scores will be converted to a 100-point scale before evaluation. International University's composite admission score formula for 2026 is as follows:

Admission score = (k1 x converted high school graduation exam score) + (k2 x converted competency assessment test score) + (k3 x converted academic transcript score) + bonus points (if any) + priority points (if any).

Here, k1, k2, and k3 represent the weight coefficients for each component, which the university will announce later. If a candidate lacks one or more score components, the university will apply corresponding conversion factors for admission. Details are as follows:

The conversion table for IELTS and international foreign language certificates to English admission scores at International University is as follows:

Bonus points are expected for candidates with English certificates, excellent student awards, and scientific research at various levels. Priority points will be applied according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
