After a sharp decline, new engineering disciplines in normal colleges emerged. Standing at the crossroads of life, "choose the popular major or the one you love" has become a widely discussed topic.
The admission scores of some prestigious schools are "upsetting"
Xing Dongqi, chief expert of the Shaanxi College Entrance Examination Service Network and editor-in-chief of "Shaanxi College Entrance Examination Big Data Analysis", said that judging from this year's enrollment situation, due to the influence of region and major, the "interval phenomenon" in the admissions of prestigious schools is obvious.

In addition, the enrollment of Sino-foreign cooperative education majors has picked up significantly this year, and the admission rankings have generally increased. Xi'an University of Technology's Sino-foreign cooperative education major has seen a significant increase, with more than 7,000 admissions higher than last year.
Traditional majors such as languages and civil engineering have declined.
Electronic information, clinical medicine, etc. remain popular.
According to "Baidu Hot Search·2022 College Entrance Examination Big Data - Top Ten Popular Majors", artificial intelligence , mechanical engineering, electrical Engineering and automation majors occupy the top three in the list. Among them, artificial intelligence has been the major with the highest increase in popularity for three consecutive years.

Judging from the popularity and admission results of candidates in Shaanxi this year, electronic information and computer courses continue to be popular. Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology of China's admission score this year is 587 points, and the minimum admission rank is 6312, a record high. The admission scores of computer majors and electronic information majors in major universities rank high. Yue Qian, deputy director of admissions at Xi'an Polytechnic University, introduced that in Shaanxi Science and Engineering, optoelectronic information science and engineering, mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, and artificial intelligence, three bachelor's and master's programs are trained in , with first-choice application rates of 1,450% and 620, respectively. %, 560% ranked in the top three. Among them, the admission score difference between the two undergraduate and master's degree branch training majors of Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation increased by 10 points to 15 points compared with 2021.
At the same time, and majors in language, finance and economics colleges showed a downward trend, and the admission rankings of Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University , Xi'an International Studies University , and University of International Business and Economics all fell sharply.

The main reason is related to employment demand.
volunteer application expert, career planning tutor Xue Mei analyzed that the overall decline in admissions to foreign language colleges in the past two years is closely related to the epidemic. Secondly, various foreign language translation software has replaced human labor, resulting in foreign language It is difficult to find talent. Finally, as China’s national strength increases and the internationalization of the Chinese language becomes stronger, talents are changing from “going out” to “bringing in” and “returning”.
Xue Mei said that when applying for majors, parents and candidates put employment factors at the top of their list of majors. High technical content, broad employment prospects, good employment prospects and candidates’ likeability are the four major factors that make a major a professional choice. Selected standard.She reminded that with the advent of the era of artificial intelligence, all walks of life will face industrial upgrading, from mechanization to automation to intelligence. Therefore, students must be forward-looking and sustainable when choosing and studying majors. This selection and learning process has been moved from high school graduation to high school entrance.
Experts recommend
Under the new college entrance examination,
it is necessary to ensure a high degree of matching between course selection and professional application.
Many high schools in Xi'an have seen the new challenges brought by the new college entrance examination early, and have increased their investment in students' career planning in recent years.
Xi'an Middle School in Shaanxi Province has launched career planning education for high school students in 2012, and has formed a relatively mature career planning education system. This year, the school has established a student development guidance center based on the needs of the new college entrance examination and student development needs. It has a subject navigation room, a career activity room, a career assessment and guidance room, a self-awareness room, etc. to provide students with career planning guidance. with help. Xi'an No. 3 Middle School has been exploring this aspect since 2016. It has rapidly expanded in terms of plans, subjects, educational goals, educational content, etc., using courses as the carrier and comprehensive promotion in the form of small group tutoring; Innovation Port Xi'an Jiaotong University The affiliated middle school integrates career experiences and lectures into daily teaching, and uses professional assessment methods to help students understand themselves. Students begin taking career classes for two years from the first year of junior high school to the first year of high school.
"The goal of students' career planning under the new college entrance examination is to form a clear understanding and accurate control of the relationship between course selection, professional application and career planning in the first year of high school." In Xue Mei's view When students are in their first year of high school, they must make a rough judgment about the college entrance examination and future majors based on their own circumstances, focusing on the course selection requirements of each major in each university, so as to achieve a high degree of matching between course selection and major application.
Regarding how to choose courses, An Xiuping, deputy director of the Student Affairs Office of Xi'an Middle School in Shaanxi Province, suggested that you consider the following aspects:
1. Choose appropriate subjects based on your own interests and talents, and do not blindly follow the trend. If you are someone who is unwilling to turn a few pages of a physics book except for attending classes and doing homework, choose physics carefully and do not blindly listen to others. The options everyone says are good may not be suitable for you.
2. Understand your career direction rather than choosing a career. What is “hot” today may be “unpopular” tomorrow, and personal interests may change over time. Based on the current development trends, make a scientific imagination and prediction about the fields you are interested in, and do not set limits for yourself prematurely.
3. Select "must choose 1" based on your interests and career direction. After deciding on your career direction, you can basically decide whether to choose physics or history. We need to remind everyone that at this time, you need to understand the course selection requirements for the corresponding major categories to avoid conflicts between career planning and required major subjects.
4. Choose “Two Subjects” based on professional requirements and advantageous subjects. To choose 2 out of 4 subjects, you need to understand the course selection requirements of specific schools and specific majors. You can screen and integrate colleges and majors with the same course selection requirements within the career direction, and combine your own interests, career plans, target colleges and majors , specific problems are analyzed in detail .
