Universities and Colleges Selection Examination (TSĐHCĐ; Vietnamese: Kỳ thi tuyển sinh đại học và cao đẳng) was a type of standardized test that is no longer used by public and some private universities and junior college in Vietnam. Established in 2002, it was known roughly as the exam of 3 chung (same time, same questions and same results). The test by the Ministry of Education and Training held annually, one year later than Vietnamese High School Graduation Examination (Kỳ thi tốt nghiệp trung học phổ thông). In the years of being organized, it was held in the first and middle of July according to the following schedule:
Session 1: July 4 & July 5: exams for blocks A, A1, V of the university system. Candidates taking the V-block exam, after taking the Math and Physics tests, then continue to take the fine art aptitude test until July 8 (depending on the university).
Session 2: July 9 & July 10, exams for blocks B, C, D, N, H, M, T, S, R, K of the university system. Candidates take the aptitude test, after participating in the cultural subjects (blocks H and N take the exam for Literature according to the exam questions of block C; block M takes the exam in Literature and Mathematics according to the exam questions of block D; block T takes the exam in Biology and Mathematics according to the exam questions of Block B; Block R taking Literature and History exams according to the exam questions of Block C; Block K taking Math and Physics exams according to the exam questions of Block A), then the gifted subjects of fine art, P.E., etc. music and engineering through July 14 (depending on universities).
Session 3: July 15 & July 16, exam for all blocks of the junior college system.
Since 2015, the exam have been abolished (along with the High School Graduation Examination), to be replaced by a unified test, which is the National High School Examination (Vietnamese: Kỳ thi trung học phổ thông quốc gia, THPTQG). The THPTQG was stopped after 2019, then High School Graduation Examination was held again, with the results able to be used by universities for admission or consider admission based on the results of new self-organized admission tests, such as Aptitude Test (VNU, VNU-HCM, HNUE, HCMUE and Vietnamese police academies), or Thinking Skills Assessment (HUST).

Form
Prior to 2001, each institution conducted its own entrance exams under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. Accordingly, candidates who registered for the exams at many schools must go through each school's exams. Since 2001, the Ministry of Education has begun to conduct a single exam, and the results would be applied to all schools that candidates have registered.
Since 2007, the form of objective test applied to the four subjects: physics, chemistry, biology and foreign languages; four subjects: mathematics, literature, history and geography are in essay format.
