★31 new types of undergraduate enrollment majors
In February 2022, the official website of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice of the Ministry of Education on Announcement of the 2021 Undergraduate Majors Registration and Approval Results of Undergraduate Majors in General Colleges and Universities in 2021". The notice shows that 31 new majors such as labor education, history of science, resource and environmental big data engineering, carbon storage science and engineering, aerospace intelligent electric propulsion technology, biological breeding science, wetland protection and restoration, and smart forestry are officially included in the undergraduate major catalog of ordinary colleges and universities. See the table below for details. Among the 31 new undergraduate majors added to
, the most are under the engineering category, which involves 12 major categories and 14 specific majors; the art category involves 3 major categories and 5 specific majors; the agricultural category involves 3 major categories and 3 specific majors; the economics, law, and management category each involves 2 major categories and 2 specific majors; the three categories of education, history, and science each involves 1 major category and 1 specific major.
Among them, Beijing Jiaotong University has added a major in intelligent transportation engineering, Harbin Engineering University has added a major in smart marine technology, and Inner Mongolia University has added a major in discipline inspection and supervision. These majors are the first time that they have been set up in universities across the country.
[Reminder] Increase in professional numbers means more choices. However, in the face of the new majors, candidates and parents should also think calmly and fill in the application rationally on the basis of realizing that they adapt to the needs of national and regional economic and social development and have development potential.
When choosing a major, candidates and parents should fully understand the connotation of the major, remember the application principle based on personal interests, abilities and career planning, avoid having a single understanding, and avoiding following the steps. The basic information of most majors, courses, colleges and other information can be found through platforms such as "Sunshine College Entrance Examination" and "China Education Online". After understanding the basic information of the above majors, candidates and parents can also go to the official website of the major to open schools or the admissions website to check the specific information and training plans of the major to further understand the status of the major.
If you really want to "try new", candidates and parents can focus on colleges with relevant strong majors and clarify the major focus of the target colleges. Most of the new majors are developed based on the original advantageous disciplines, or are developed from the cross-integration of multiple disciplines, and have certain historical accumulation and development conditions. For example, data science and big data technology, one of the popular "old" majors added in colleges and universities in 2021, was developed based on mathematics, computer science and statistics. Therefore, when choosing this major, candidates and parents should focus on which college the target school will set it in, and whether the school has advantages in the fields of mathematics, computer science or statistics. For example, in 2022, Chongqing University, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), China University of Petroleum (Beijing), and China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) were approved to open a major in carbon storage science and engineering. If candidates are interested in this major, they can first understand the major training directions of these universities, and then choose and apply in combination with scores, regions and other factors.
★The "Strength Basic Plan" enrolls colleges and universities, majors and regions have been adjusted
1. Three new pilot universities have been added, and some universities have adjusted their enrollment scope
Starting from April 2022, 39 pilot universities have successively launched the enrollment work of the "Strength Basic Plan". Compared with 2021, three new pilot universities for the "Strengthening Basics Plan" were added in 2022, including Northeast University, Hunan University, and Northwest A&F University. Among them, the enrollment major of Northeastern University is automation, the enrollment major of Hunan University is chemistry, and the enrollment major of Northwest A&F University is seed science and engineering (biological breeding) and animal science (biological breeding).
In addition to the expansion of colleges and universities, the enrollment scope of some "Strengthening Basics Plan" pilot universities in 2022 has also been adjusted. For example, some majors of Jilin University are enrolled in Shanxi and Shaanxi for the first time, and Beijing and Chongqing are added to the provinces and cities of Northwest Polytechnical University, and Ningxia are added to the provinces and cities of Beijing Institute of Technology, and the scope of school selection for candidates in some provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) has been further expanded.
2. The enrollment major has added interdisciplinary and strong disciplines of colleges and universities
2022 "Strengthening Basics Program" enrollment majors break through the restrictions of basic disciplines. Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Northeastern University and other universities have added enrollment majors in high-end and sophisticated disciplines in high-end fields based on major national strategic needs. For example, Beijing Institute of Technology has added a new major in intelligent unmanned systems technology; Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has added a major in aircraft power engineering, which is very popular for applying for this major every year; Northwest Polytechnical University has added a new major in aerospace, which is the ace major of Northwest Polytechnical University, and its related disciplines have been rated A+ in the fourth round of discipline evaluation in the country.
3. The enrollment selection model shows the trend of independent
(1) "Re-Jia Jiaotong South" shortlisted and the school test model has been adjusted
2022, the "Strengthening Basics Plan" selection model of Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Nanjing University has undergone major changes, that is, these three universities advance the school test time to before the college entrance examination scores. In other words, all candidates applying for these three universities will directly take the preliminary examination after the college entrance examination. The school determines the re-examination list based on the candidates' preliminary examination scores, and directly admits it after the college entrance examination scores.
(2) "Shanghai Jiaotong University", "United University of Science and Technology of China" and "Beihang" support competition awards as registration materials
In 2022, the "Strengthening Basics Plan" registration system of universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University, University of Science and Technology of China, and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics will support the five major science competitions, and the first and second bronze medal awards as registration materials. Among them, the admissions office of the University of Science and Technology of China mentioned in the presentation that the school does not only have competition theory, but competition students have great advantages in applying for the exam. This is undoubtedly a very positive signal for contestants.
(3) "Tsinghua University" added a new student qualification review for students with exceptions
Tsinghua University and Peking University's 2022 "Strengthening Basics Plan" added a new student review process. The candidates who pass the review have an exception qualifying. Candidates who fail can cancel their registration and transfer to other schools.
4. The physical test scores directly affect the admission
Although the physical test scores are not included in the school test scores, most universities pointed out in the 2022 "Strengthening Basics Plan" admission brochure that sports test scores will be used as an important basis for admission, and those who absent from the physical test without reason or fail the physical test will not be admitted. For example, Tsinghua University, Beijing Normal University and other schools clearly stated that "those who fail the physical test will be disqualified from admission", Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology and other schools clearly stated that "the physical fitness test will not be admitted", and Southeast University also stipulated in the admission brochure that "those who fail the physical test will lose the qualification to participate in the subsequent comprehensive test."
In fact, as early as the first year of the implementation of the "Strengthening Basics Plan", some universities mentioned the requirements for sports testing in their enrollment brochures, but due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, some universities canceled sports testing.
5. The proportion of shortlisted for some universities has been reduced
2021, the proportion of shortlisted for the "Strengthening Basics Plan" school test has been expanded overall; in 2022, the proportion of shortlisted for some universities has been reduced.
For example, the proportion of Shandong University’s shortlisted school survey was adjusted from 6 times to 5 times, and the proportion of Xi’an Jiaotong University and Tongji University’s shortlisted school survey was adjusted from 5 times to 4 times.
6. Xiamen University charges the application fee to shortlisted candidates
2022 Xiamen University’s “Strengthening Basics Plan” admission brochure stipulates that shortlisted candidates must log in to the Xiamen University Examination Center payment system to pay 170 yuan in the application fee from the date of publication of the shortlisted assessment list. Xiamen University is the first university to charge candidates for application fees since the implementation of the "Strengthening Basics Plan" in 2020.
Xiamen University's move is to raise the entry threshold to a certain extent. This is roughly the same as the new pre-exam confirmation process for the 2021 "Strengthening Fundamental Plan" to allow candidates to sign a commitment letter. It is to reduce the phenomenon of blindly applying for the exam and give more opportunities to candidates who are truly determined to serve the country's major strategies and want to apply for the "Strengthening Fundamental Plan".
[Reminder] The "Strengthening Basics Plan" is a channel for low scores to enter prestigious schools. Candidates who meet the requirements can indeed seize this opportunity. It is reported that the difficulty of testing by some high schools is usually close to or equal to the level of subject competition, and candidates with a foundation in competition can better play their advantages.In addition, in 2022, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing University of Technology, Dalian University of Technology and other universities use the method of shortlisting for the first-class candidates (students with excellent college entrance examination scores) to apply for weighted scores in the college entrance examination, highlighting the role of core subjects such as mathematics and physics, especially mathematics subjects, which is beneficial to candidates with excellent subjects in mathematics. However, after the 2022 "Strength Fund Plan" enrollment majors and scope may attract more outstanding candidates to register, and the competitive pressure will increase. In addition, the "Strength Fund Plan" cannot be changed to majors, so candidates should treat it rationally and apply for the exam based on actual conditions.
★If you cannot go to the military academy, you can apply for targeted training of sergeants
In 2022, 17 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) announced that they would recruit targeted training of sergeants among graduates of senior secondary education schools who participated in the 2022 National Unified Examination for the Enrollment of General Higher Education Institutions (i.e., "College Entrance Examination"). This is the first targeted training of sergeants since the implementation of the sergeant system.
Targeted training of sergeants is what was previously called targeted training of non-commissioned officers. It refers to recruiting graduates of senior secondary education schools based on ordinary colleges and universities to train reserve sergeants for the army.
targeted training sergeant system for 3 years, and is a full-time college degree recruitment. All courses in the first 2.5 academic years are under the responsibility of universities, and the recruiting troops are connected to guide teaching as needed; the next 0.5 academic years are the internship period, and the troops are under the responsibility of the troops. After the internship is completed, the university will handle the graduation procedures. After the internship of targeted sergeants is completed, the troops will determine the rank of the military rank and award the rank of the military rank of the first sergeant to be awarded to the sergeant in accordance with the relevant regulations on the recruitment of sergeants for the first time. The rank time will be calculated from September 1 of the year of graduation.
Application process:
1. Candidates who fill in the application form
must participate in the college entrance examination registration and fill in the corresponding university's "Targeted Sergeant Training Major".
targeted training of sergeants implements the current early admission policy for junior colleges and sets up parallel volunteers for 6 colleges and universities, and each college has 6 professional volunteers and major obedience volunteers (this volunteer is subject to the admission policies of colleges and universities in various places).
2. Physical examination
After receiving the physical examination notice, candidates must bring their admission ticket, ID card and other information to the designated location for the physical examination within the specified time.
3. Candidates who pass the political assessment and interview
physical examination will go to the designated location to participate in the interview and political assessment organized by the recruiting troops, recruiting institutions and military service agencies after receiving the notice of interview and political assessment.
4. Online admission
Education (admissions) examination institutes of various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have 100% of the candidates who pass the physical examination and political assessment based on the candidates' application and college entrance examination results.
[Reminder] The political and physical conditions of targeted training of sergeants are implemented in accordance with the regulations on recruiting conscripts. In the majors for targeted training sergeant colleges, all majors that are not specified to recruit girls will only recruit boys, and those who fill in the wrong will be deemed to be invalid.
Please note that the registration for targeted training sergeants is carried out by filling out the college entrance examination application. The specific application time shall be subject to each region. Since targeted training sergeants are admitted in the early batch of junior colleges, if the candidate is not admitted in advance, it will not affect the number of admissions he/she will be transferred to the general junior college, which is equivalent to an additional admission opportunity.
★Give up the admission qualification for special plans and will not be allowed to apply for
2022. The country will continue to implement special plans for enrollment of key universities in rural areas and poverty-stricken areas, collectively known as special plans, which specifically includes three special plans for national, local and universities. However, when the Ministry of Education deployed the special plan for enrollment of key universities in 2022, it was mentioned that starting from the 2023 college entrance examination enrollment, candidates who have been admitted to the special plan in previous years will no longer be eligible for applying for the special plan.
[Reminder] The national special plan is targeted for enrollment in poverty-stricken areas. The enrollment colleges are mainly universities affiliated to central departments and key universities affiliated to provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The local special plan is aimed at rural students in areas implemented by provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The enrollment colleges are generally key universities affiliated to provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The university special plan is targeted for enrolling rural students from remote, formerly poor, ethnic and other areas, counties (including county-level cities) and other areas with hard-working and good grades. The enrollment colleges are universities directly under the Ministry of Education and other pilot universities for independent enrollment. The admission order of the three special programs of
is generally national special programs, local special programs, and university special programs. As long as the application conditions are met, you can generally submit an "at the same time". However, if you are admitted to the previous plan, there will be no chance for those who come later, so students who want to "go" to prestigious schools must grasp the order of filling out their applications.
★The ranking of foreign language and civil engineering majors in many schools fell
In 2022, some schools and majors fell sharply due to the admission scores, becoming a topic. Among them, foreign languages "pulsed down" and civil engineering "cut off".
Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Foreign Trade has become a hot search on Weibo due to its "pivot" ranking. According to relevant reports in 2014, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Foreign Trade scores ranked fourth in the province in those years, ranking behind Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology, and Jinan University. The lowest ranking of candidates was between 15,000 and 17,000 in science and liberal arts. In 2022, the school’s Guangdong physics major group (excluding local special plans) has a minimum bidding line of 555 points, and the lowest ranking dropped from about 30,000 in previous years to 60,000; the lowest bidding ranking of the history major group has also dropped by several thousand compared with last year (excluding local special plans).
The "fall" of Guangdong University of Foreign Languages and Foreign Trade is not an isolated case. The lowest rankings of universities such as Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai University of Foreign Studies, and Beijing Language and Culture University in Guangdong Province have declined to varying degrees. The planned balances of multiple small language majors in universities such as Beijing Second Foreign Languages University and Dalian University of Foreign Studies have been seen in Henan Province.
and foreign language majors also have civil engineering majors. On July 18, 2022, Henan Province announced the parallel filing scores for the first batch of undergraduate colleges and universities in 2022. Among them, the lowest score for science filing in Henan Province, which is based on civil engineering majors, fell by more than 40,000 places. Later, a list of sub-professional majors for a batch of undergraduate colleges in Henan Province showed that the planned balance of civil engineering majors in Jilin University, Tongji University Engineering Experimental Class (Civil and Environment), China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) and other universities showed a planned balance. Some media sorted out the filing information of undergraduate colleges and universities and found that compared with 2021, the admission rankings of civil engineering majors in many provinces in 2022 have declined to varying degrees.
[Reminder] For most candidates and parents, it is understandable to yearn for and choose popular majors. However, new senior high school students should pay attention to the fact that popular and unpopular are relatively common, and it is difficult for any major to be "evergreen". Hot and cold are temporary, but it takes at least four or five years or even longer from filling out the application form to achieving success in studies. Therefore, when choosing a major, candidates and parents should not only consider the talent needs in the general environment, but also consider their personal interests and personality, and should not just join in.
or above is the content of this issue of sharing. After experiencing the application form in 2022, I have summarized some changes in application form in the application form, hoping to help candidates in 2023.
