Since 20 16, the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination has been increasing for seven consecutive years, from 20 161770 thousand to 4.57 million in 2022. It is estimated that the number of postgraduate students will exceed 5 million in 2024. Those 985,211students who didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination can't find jobs recently, and the competition for candidates in colleges and universities is fierce. Postgraduate entrance examination is the main channel for university graduates to obtain master's and doctoral degrees. Participants in the postgraduate examination must comply with the relevant provisions of the Ministry of Education's "General Rules for Enrollment of Postgraduate Entrance Examination".
Changes in educational policies in recent years;
The enrollment scale continues to expand. Since the epidemic, multi-professional graduate students have expanded their enrollment year after year. In view of the skyrocketing number of graduate students in 2022, the employment situation is grim this year, and the enrollment scale of graduate students will increase with great probability in 2024. With the withdrawal of the master, more and more attention has been paid to the master. It is difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and the proportion of exemption is expanded.
Changes of postgraduate entrance examination policy in 2024:
1, unified examination has become the general trend. The Ministry of Education has previously issued a document requesting universities with independent propositions to return to the national unified examination, implement the national unified proposition, and encourage enrollment units to choose unified examination papers. This year, a number of colleges and universities have carried out preliminary examination subjects reform, among which Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Fudan University, Zhengzhou University, Jilin University and Beijing Jiaotong University have also made corresponding adjustments to the unified examination subjects.
2. The number of students enrolled in special masters has increased. During the period of 2020-2025, the number of graduate students enrolled should reach two-thirds of all graduate students.
The number of graduate students is increasing year by year. With the increasing role of academic qualifications in work or life, the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination in 20 16-2022 increased rapidly, and the number in 2022 was more than twice that in 20 16. The reason may be that with the encouragement of national policies such as the settlement of points and entrepreneurial support, more and more people are taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
4. The new trend of Shen Shuocheng's in-service postgraduate entrance examination. According to statistics, the number of postgraduate applicants in 2022 was 3.77 million. With the increase in the number of applicants, the proportion of part-time postgraduate enrollment plans in many colleges and universities has decreased year by year. More and more on-the-job personnel choose to enter the school without examination, so Shen Shuocheng, who has the same academic ability, is a new trend for on-the-job personnel to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
