University of Information Technology sets expected admission scores

The University of Information Technology (UIT) has set its projected admission scores between 22.5 and 24 based on the 2025 high school graduation exam results, with the highest requirement for the integrated circuit design program.

For applicants using the competency assessment test scores administered by Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), UIT expects to accept applications with scores of 700 out of 1,200 or higher.

The admission score calculation formula for both the high school graduation exam and the competency assessment test is:

Admission score = High school graduation exam score/Competency assessment test score + bonus points (if any) + priority points (if any).

Applicants holding certificates such as IELTS 5.0, TOEFL iBT 65, TOEIC (listening and reading ≥ 650 and speaking and writing ≥ 250), or JLPT N3 or higher in Japanese will receive bonus points. However, the specific bonus point values have not yet been announced.

UIT plans to enroll over 2,000 students this year. In addition to the two methods mentioned above, the university also offers direct admission and prioritized admission for 4 groups of applicants. Group 1 includes those eligible for direct admission as determined by the Ministry of Education and Training. Group 2 consists of excellent and talented students recommended by their high school principals. Group 3 comprises applicants from 149 specialized and gifted high schools prioritized by VNU-HCM. Group 4 includes applicants who have achieved high rankings in competitions such as the Informatics Olympiad, Road to Mount Olympia, ICPC, SEA Games, ASIAD, or possess international certificates (SAT, ACT, A-Level, IB).

Tuition fees for the 2025 academic year at UIT are 37 million and 55 million VND per year for standard and advanced programs respectively, an increase of 2 to 5 million VND compared to last year. For programs affiliated with international universities, the tuition ranges from 84 to 140 million VND per year.
