This is different from the previous regulation, candidates applying for the semiconductor industry must have a Math score of 8 or higher.
According to the adjusted regulations, candidates applying for majors in this field must have a high school graduation exam score in Mathematics in the top 20% of the country (according to data published annually by the Ministry of Education and Training ) and a combined score in the top 25%.

The subjects are students who are studying from other training programs transferring to the semiconductor microchip training program at the time of consideration, must have: The training program they are studying is suitable for the training program they are transferring to; Meet the prescribed conditions; Cumulative average score is from 2.5/4 or higher (or equivalent).
The 2025 high school graduation exam results showed that the average score for Math was 4.78, 1.67 points lower than last year.
According to the score distribution announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, nationwide there were more than 1.1 million candidates taking the exam, however only more than 137,000 candidates had a score of 7 or higher, accounting for more than 12%.
In May 2025, the Ministry of Education and Training announced standard regulations on semiconductor microcircuit training at university and master's levels.
This standard applies to universities participating in the Government 's project on Human Resource Development for the Semiconductor Industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050.
Accordingly, candidates who want to study bachelor's or engineering programs in semiconductor microchips, if admitted based on high school graduation exam results, must use a combination of Math and at least one natural science subject suitable for the semiconductor microchip training program.
The total score of the subjects in the admission combination must reach at least 80% of the consideration scale (for example, at least 24/30 for a combination of 3 subjects).
In particular, the Ministry of Education and Training also stipulates that the Math test score must reach at least 80% of the scale (minimum 8/10).
Regarding this regulation, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Anh Dung - Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training) once explained that the basic knowledge for students to study well in semiconductor microchips and STEM is especially related to Mathematics.
In addition, when surveying students' learning outcomes as well as evaluating training outcomes for students studying engineering and technology related to semiconductor microchips, it shows that students need a foundation of Math knowledge of 8 points or higher to achieve the best results in the learning process.
"Later, in the process of studying and working in the semiconductor industry, you will use your knowledge of Mathematics a lot," Associate Professor Dung said.
