VietNamNet Bridge – While leading universities have been spoilt
for choice because a lot of students dream of studying at the renowned schools,
other universities, especially people founded and local universities, fear they
may not enroll enough students.
Nguyen Tien Dung, Head of the
Training Division of the HCM City University of Technical Education, said the
most of the candidates attending the entrance exams to the school got the marks
from 13 to 17, while the school plans to enroll 3500 students this year.
948 students of the school got 17
marks and higher, 3640 students got 14 marks and higher, while 4884 got 13 and
higher. Dung said that the school would think carefully to set up reasonable
required benchmarks (the minimum marks students must get from the university
entrance exams to be able to study at the schools they want).
However, he said that the school
would reserve some seats for the students who register to study at the school
as their second choice. Under the current regulations, the students who do not
have the marks high enough to be able to study at the schools they want, may
register to study at other schools as their second or third choices.
The HCM City University of
Technology has decided that examinees must have at least 16 marks to register
to study at the school. If so, 4000 students would fail to study at the school.
Nguyen Thanh Nam, Head of the
Training Division of the school, said that the 4000 students would be a profuse
supply source for other schools. The HCM City University of Technology itself
would also look for 150 students for the junior college training system (3-year
training) from the source.
According to Hua Minh Tuan, Head
of the Training Division of the HCM City Finance -Marketing University, 10,322
students got 13 marks and higher out of the 27,000 examinees. Therefore, the
minimum required mark would be no less than 16. As such, the school would
refuse a high number of students, who got 13-15.5 marks and would be able to
study at other schools.
13 is expected to be the minimum
required marks students must have to be able to register study at any
university in Vietnam, called the “floor mark.” The floor mark is announced
every year by the Ministry of Education and Training to which schools refer to
enroll students.
Similarly, the Saigon University
also said a lot of students would not be eligible for studying at the school,
which could be the targeted students for other schools.
Schools worried stiff
Though less prestigious schools
understand that they can find students from the ones who failed the exams to
reputable schools, they still fear they cannot find enough students.
The HCM City Culture University
plans to enroll 1330 students, while only 1359 students attended the entrance
exams. Meanwhile, it is expected that only 700 students pass the exams to the
school, which means that the school still needs to find the other 50 percent of
quota from other sources.
Pham Thai Son, Deputy Head of the
Training Division of the HCM City Food Industry University, also said that 3758
out of the 19,000 students got the marks equal or higher than the 2011’s floor
marks. Therefore, the required benchmarks are believed to be low, just equal to
the floor marks. However, even with the low requirements, the school still
fears it would lack students for some majors.
People founded schools prove to
be the ones which most worry about the lack of students. The Hong Bang
International University plans to receive 2200 students, but only 1188 students
attended the entrance exams. Meanwhile, only 100 students can meet the
requirements to be able to study there. This means that the school would have
to seek students from other sources.
