graduate exam is already very large. Some institutions predict that the number of candidates for the 23 postgraduate entrance examination will reach 5.3 million, while the number of fresh graduates in is more than 10 million, accounting for half of the number.
Of course, these candidates are not all fresh graduates, and some candidates who fail to take the postgraduate entrance examination and apply for the exam again.
Nowadays, the registration time for graduate students has not yet ended, and many candidates have begun to shake and anxious. On the one hand, the competitive pressure reflected by such a large number of candidates cannot be underestimated. On the other hand, many candidates said that the majors they applied for began to shorten their recruitment.
reduction should be the most mentality thing. Before the colleges and universities announced their enrollment brochures, everyone refers to their previous enrollment plans and then combines their own strength to find the college they like. After that, I started to study. There are many professional courses in some majors, and candidates prepare early. After the admission brochure came out, I had already learned two professional courses, but who knew that nearly half of the admission quotas were cut off at once.
In this case, who will not be anxious? Who wouldn’t shake the determination to modify the target college?
What is the current situation of postgraduate entrance examinations? Is it an expansion or a reduction? Whether
is reduced or not, there is no conclusion to see the numbers.
Let’s take double first-class universities as an example. Some universities have significantly expanded enrollment, while others have significantly reduced the enrollment number. For example, Xi'an Jiaotong University has expanded enrollment by 500 people, Anhui University , Zhengzhou University and Jinan University have expanded enrollment by more than 400 people. On the contrary, Nanyang University recruited 100 people, Shandong University recruited 200 people, and Sun Yat-sen University even reached 600 people.
meet at one point is not comprehensive in terms of quantity, and this issue cannot be clearly explained. Whether it is a double non-double or a double first-class university, there are shortages and expansions in recruitment. The so-called main force in the expansion of enrollment is dual non- universities, and most of the universities that have been recruited are double first-class universities, which is not accurate.
Recommended and controversial
As mentioned above, it is one-sided to just look at the quantitative perspective. For the postgraduate entrance examination, the "old enemy" of unified enrollment is the number of recommended students and the number of recommended students. For example, a major recruited 20 students last year, and 8 students were recommended for exemption, while this year's enrollment was 25 students, but 15 students were recommended for exemption.
, in terms of quantity alone, has expanded enrollment, with an increase of 25%, but for the unified enrollment candidates, it is a reduction in recruitment - there were 12 unified enrollment quotas, but now there are only 10.
. The fact that recommended students have always been favored by key universities, and there are very few opportunities for ordinary candidates to "leap the dragon gate".
Master of Science concessions for junior college
I believe you have seen many such notices from universities - a certain major of a certain university has stopped enrollment plans for academic masters.
Many colleges and universities also have this momentum, but the current amplitude is not too large, which is reflected in the reduction of the number of masters in colleges. But what is obvious is that professional degree master's degree has gradually become the mainstream. Even the recommendation and exemption policy of colleges and universities is tilting in this direction. For example, the recommendation and exemption of Central South University from the professional degree master's degree in 2022 to the no less than 35% in 2023. For candidates for admission to graduate school, the competition between the master's degree and the junior college master's degree seems to be similar to the current admission to graduate school and unified examinations.
What is the purpose of doing this?
On the one hand, adapting to the development of society, our progress and development are inseparable from high-level talents. This is mostly the positioning and significance of professional degree masters.
On the other hand, it effectively alleviates the pressure on employment. When the number of professional masters increases, the training system for professional masters gradually increases to 3 years. It used to be more like a "training camp", but now it needs to exchange time for quality and alleviate employment pressure.
In addition, it can also control the doctoral enrollment plan. A master's degree can apply for a master's degree, while a master's degree cannot. You can choose to take the exam or you can choose to apply for a review system . Therefore, the admission of master's degree in control can also control the admission of doctoral students. Whether it is expansion or shrinking, the purpose of
is to "improve quality".
's major adjustments, the increase in the proportion of recommended admissions, and the refusal to provide accommodation seem to send a signal - to persuade some candidates to withdraw.
But have you considered the essence and purpose of doing this? Among them, there are also the helplessness of universities. Universities have certain social responsibilities, but they have led to excessive campus resources, so some extraordinary measures can only be taken.
Secondly, no matter how it changes, we should understand a fact that colleges and universities have begun to take the admissions link as the entry point to achieve the purpose of controlling the quality and scale of the graduate student population.
The increasingly strict graduation thesis review system also proves this. Graduate education is improving quality, and strictly controlling quantity and changing the structure of quantity is an important measure to control quality.
So, under this development trend, even if there is no Zhai Tianlin and no focus of academic fraud, colleges and universities will still be more and more strict and higher standards in training undergraduate, master and doctoral students.
Students who are preparing for graduate school, before preparing for the exam, everyone should also recognize the changes and trends of graduate school recruitment and analyze whether they are really suitable for this path.
