This year’s test saw the enthusiastic participation of candidates from various provinces and cities nationwide. Specifically, 999 candidates registered for the Watercolor Decorative Drawing test, while 895 candidates registered for the Statue Drawing test. These two subjects are mandatory components for admission into the Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Architecture, and Interior Architecture programs at HCMUTE. These fields require creativity, aesthetic thinking, and the ability to express ideas visually.

On the morning of June 9, candidates gathered at the university to receive their exam notifications, complete necessary procedures, and attend a briefing on examination regulations and schedules. In a serious yet supportive atmosphere, HCMUTE’s staff and student volunteers assisted candidates in locating exam rooms, guiding them on campus, and answering questions, ensuring that every candidate could confidently enter the examination process.

That same afternoon, candidates took the first test, Watercolor Decorative Drawing. On the morning of June 10, they continued with the Statue Drawing test. Both tests were conducted seriously and in accordance with regulations, with close coordination between HCMUTE’s departments and the examination staff to create the best possible conditions for candidates.
