Among the 
9 985 engineering colleges and universities, there are indeed a few not that good. Not only are they inferior to a group of 211 engineering colleges, but they are even not as good as some ordinary dual non- colleges. Therefore, the so-called "985 Project" is just a key construction project and cannot fully represent the strength of a university.

Folksky University
Folkskiyattva and Huawu 5 are the last two members of C9 - Xijiaotong University and Harbin Institute of Technology. Later, there are Wuhan University , Huake , Zhongshan , Zhongnan , Xiamen University , and Sichuan University. Further back row are Dalian University of Technology , South China University of Technology , Southeast University of Technology , Tongji, Huazhong Normal University, Chongqing University, Northeastern University, Jilin University, Shandong University, Landa , Hu University, and Beijing University, Beihang University, Beihang University, Zhongnong University, Minzhong University, etc. It should be noted that the only military academies to enter the 985 project construction of the PLA National Defense University was demoted during the military reform and downgraded from the deputy military region level to the regular military level, so strictly speaking, it is no longer a deputy ministerial university.
is not a deputy ministerial level 985 universities - Northeastern University
39 985 universities, except for National University of Defense Technology , there are 7 universities that are not deputy ministerial level. They are: Northeastern University, Hunan University , South China University of Technology , University of Electronic Science and Technology , Ocean University of China, Central University of Nationalities and East China Normal University .
Is that deputy ministerial-level university a top university?
is located in Chengdu, which is not a vice-ministerial university of electronic science and technology. Generally speaking, there are exceptions, such as the Northwest A&F University .
Northwest A&F University
In my country, everything that is linked to the word "agricultural" seems to be a less advanced existence. China has been an agricultural country for thousands of years. Its unit that has been linked to the word "agricultural" is not very good in people's impression, especially in colleges and universities. Once the word "agricultural" is mentioned, most of them will be rejected by candidates and despised by parents.

In fact, food is the most important thing for people, agriculture is the basic guarantee, and rural areas, agriculture, and farmers are also the objects of key support and vigorous development of the country. Agricultural universities are not all bad, such as China Agricultural University , Nanjing Agricultural University , Central China Agricultural University , South China Agricultural University , etc. They are all good agricultural universities and are worth applying for.

But Northwest A&F University is an alternative existence. Although it is 985 and double first-class, it is at the bottom, which is quite suspicious of making up the numbers. In fact, some are to take care of remote areas and some are to take care of ethnic unity, so some universities do not represent strength at the level. For example, Tibet University , Inner Mongolia University , Guangxi University , Ningxia University , Xinjiang University, etc., can you say that these 211 universities are excellent universities? Obviously not.
National Northwest Agriculture and Forestry College former site
Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University is definitely the last 39 985 universities, no one. It is located in the Yangling Demonstration Zone in Xianyang, Shaanxi, and is not in the ancient capital Xi'an. Northwest A&F University is abbreviated as Xiong or Northwest A&F University . It is a university directly managed by the central government, directly under the Ministry of Education, Double First-Class, 985, 211 Project . It is a well-known university jointly built by Shaanxi Provincial Government, with the Ministry of Education, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Rural Agriculture, Ministry of Water Resources, State Forestry Administration and other 16 ministries and commissions. It is the birthplace of higher agricultural education in Northwest China, and it is also the agricultural college with the most comprehensive disciplines of agriculture, forestry and water in the country. It ranks first in the country in wine majors.

The predecessor of Northwest Agricultural University can be traced back to Northwest Agricultural and Forestry College established in 1934 .In the autumn of 1999, with the approval of the State Council, seven scientific and educational units including Northwest A&F University, Northwest Forestry University, , Institute of Soil and Water Conservancy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Northwest Water Conservancy Research Institute of the Ministry of Water Resources, Shaanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shaanxi Academy of Forestry, and Shaanxi Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, merged to form Northwest A&F University.

Northwest Agricultural University's world-class discipline is Agricultural ; national key disciplines are plant pathology, Soil science , agricultural soil engineering, clinical veterinary medicine, fruit tree science, animal genetic breeding and breeding and Agricultural economic management; national key disciplines are crop genetic breeding and agricultural pest control.
New wheat variety cultivated by Xi'an Agricultural University
Xi'an Agricultural University's specialty is inseparable from the word " agricultural " and the word " forest ": agriculture, plant protection, horticulture, animal science and medicine, forestry , soil and water conservation and desertification prevention and control, agricultural water conservancy engineering , food science and engineering , biological science and technology , and agricultural forestry manager management. These advantages and majors are very different from the popular engineering and science subjects nowadays. In the eyes of ordinary people, majors such as agronomy, forestry, soil, pest control, veterinary, horticulture, grass and other majors seem to be too rustic and not high-end enough, so they are biased in their hearts, which to a certain extent has affected Xiongan's enrollment. After all, rural areas are just dealing with land, crops, and livestock all day long. When children go to college and learn these, they will be considered to be boring and have no future in development.

In 2022, Xinong ranked 51st in the "Alumni Association China University Ranking", and in the "Wu Shulian China University Ranking", it happened to rank 39th, which means that it ranks at the bottom of 39 985 universities, and the last.

In fact, Food is the day for people to take food , agriculture is the foundation of everything, and food security is also an issue that the Chinese government attaches great importance to. There is a saying in rural areas that "thirty-six professions, every profession eats the farmer's household", so agriculture is by no means a lower class subject. But China has been an agricultural society for thousands of years. It takes time to change the status of agriculture and forestry in the minds of the general public.
Xinong No. 8 Teaching Building
Xinong’s faculty is not weak, with 2,363 full-time teachers, of which 1,643 have senior professional titles, and more than 94% are from the research institutes, with 75% having doctoral degrees, with four academicians from the two academies, 3 national-level teaching teachers, 24 provincial-level teaching teachers, 18 teaching guidance committee members of the Ministry of Education, and 45 national-level teaching teams. 12 people were selected for the National "Hundred and Thousand Talents Project", 5 experts with outstanding contributions, 5 leading talents in scientific and technological innovation, 1 famous teacher in 10,000 Program, 6 winners of the National Outstanding Youth Fund Award, 3 outstanding national youth talents, 8 winners of the National Outstanding Youth Fund Award, 1 winner of the National Youth Teacher Award, and 64 candidates of the Ministry of Education's " New Century Outstanding Talent Support Program ".

In addition, Xinong's wine major is the first in the country! After graduation, graduates can go to Moutai, , Wuliangye, and other wineries to find jobs, and their future is good.Of course, there is also some Shaanxi University of Science and Technology , which was formerly called " Northwest Light Industry College ". It turned out that it was also in Xianyang . In 2000, it was relocated to Xi'an and renamed Shaanxi University of Science and Technology. The wine major of this university is also good. The "white wine academician" Wang Li , who caused a lot of controversy the year before, graduated from this school.

Another feature of Xinong is that the campus area is large, and the two campuses in the north and south have 5,657 acres, which is larger than the entire Macau area. When you visit Xinong Campus, you either take a school bus or ride a bicycle. If you walk, you may have to walk for a day. In addition, Xinong has 26 experimental normal stations in five western provinces.

Xinong’s school philosophy is: Through the foundation of the country, to understand people’s livelihood, to promote science ; the school motto is: , to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest, to be honest Following the goal of "promoting agriculture and strengthening the country", the Xiong people are moving forward bravely and never retreated.
Northwest A&F University’s emblem
Although Xiongong ranks at the bottom of 985 universities and its admission score is not high, its strength cannot be underestimated. Due to geographical disadvantages and the influence of "agriculture and forestry" majors, Xiong's cost-effectiveness is very high. But it is undeniable that in Shaanxi Province, Xiongong is not very famous and not well-known. It is not only incomparable to the two 985 schools of Xijiaotong University and Xizhong University of Technology , but it is not even as famous as 211 universities such as Xidian , Northwestern University , Shaanxi Normal University and Chang'an University , which is really helpless and embarrassing.
Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology
Of course, if you look at universities across the country, Xiong's popularity is even lower, not as good as some non-dual colleges and universities in eastern coastal cities, and even worse than some second-tier universities, such as Shangcai, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai Customs College , Shanghai Science and Technology , East China Politics and Law, Capital Medical Science and other universities.
Northwestern University
However, the same thing is that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, Xinong is a double first-class, 985 and 211 engineering university directly managed by the central government and directly under the Ministry of Education. It is also a vice-ministerial university. It is higher than the Northeastern University, University of Electronic Science and Technology, South China University of Technology, Ocean University of China, Hunan University, Central University of Nationalities and East China Normal University among the 985 universities. It is by no means a 985 university. It has extremely high cost-effectiveness and is worth applying for by students.
