The intake policy of HCMTUE and EEET program is in according to the national regulations and laws. There is a national entrance examination for graduates from high school to enter the university program. Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) set up the quota of intake students for HCMUTE and then, the HCMUTE set up the quota for EEET program. To apply for the admission to enter the EEET program the candidates have to register before the entrance examination. They will be in the list of selection for EEET program admission if they pass 02 level of passing marks, the first is national basic passing mark and other is EEET passing mark. According to the quota, the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering will take students from the top to bottom. In recent years, due to the reputation of the EEET program, the quality of intake students increased remarkably.
In 2015, MOET changed the regulation of recruitment that lengthens the time for students’ registration and enables candidates to see their position in the list of candidates, the quality of intake students has been increased.
