The teams comprise six students in mathematics, eight in physics, four each in chemistry and biology, and 15 in informatics.

The mathematics, chemistry and biology teams will compete directly at international Olympiads, while the physics and informatics teams will first enter Asia-Pacific contests, from which four top performers will be chosen for global competitions.

VNU Hanoi University of Science (HUS) High School for Gifted Students led with eight selections, including five in informatics, while Hanoi-Amsterdam High School for the Gifted also had eight.

International Olympiad gold, silver and bronze medalists receive cash awards of VND55 million, VND35 million and VND25 million, respectively, with additional local incentives potentially raising total rewards to hundreds of millions of dong.
