Ho Chi Minh City National University confirms students can still apply to its eight member universities in 2026 without taking the competency assessment exam.
Most admission slots at Ho Chi Minh City National University will be allocated through a combined method, integrating scores from the high school graduation exam, competency assessment tests, and academic transcripts.
Ho Chi Minh City National University will hold two competency assessment exam sessions in early April and late May, with candidates able to register from late January 2026.
