Vietnam Ministry of Education conducts six-round virtual filtering for 2026 university admissions
The Ministry of Education and Training (Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo) will carry out six rounds of virtual filtering of university admission wishes nationwide from 4 August to 9 August 2026. The process uses a central software system that removes students who have already secured a higher‑ranked wish from other schools' provisional lists, ensuring each applicant is admitted to only one highest‑eligible choice.
The filtering does not set admission quotas or cut‑off scores; it simply eliminates duplicate admissions, known as “virtual students,” so that universities can determine official score thresholds only after the final round. Six iterations are required because each round can change the provisional lists as students shift to higher wishes, necessitating re‑filtering until the lists stabilise. The Ministry coordinates with university authorities and related agencies (higher education, vocational education, etc.) for data review before each filtering cycle.
