There are many ranking agencies at home and abroad, but most of them are controversial. At present, the most authoritative ranking is the subject evaluation of the Ministry of Education. Among the first-class disciplines of materials science and engineering, there are 93 universities with "doctoral authorization" in China, of which 89 participated in the evaluation; Some universities with "master's authorization" also participated in the evaluation; Participating universities 172 (note: universities with the same evaluation results are ranked in no particular order, according to school code).
The fourth round of subject evaluation is based on the principle of "voluntary application and free participation" and adopts the method of "combining objective evaluation with subjective evaluation". The evaluation system has made many innovations on the basis of the first three rounds; The evaluation data is obtained in the way of "combining public data with unit declaration"; The evaluation results are presented in the form of "grading". The specific method is to announce the top 70% of the subjects in nine grades according to the percentile of the "overall level score of subjects": the top 2% (or the top 2) is A+, 2% ~ 5% is A (excluding 2%, the same below), and 5% ~ 10% is A.
Students who like materials, whether in college entrance examination or postgraduate entrance examination, can give priority to the above 985 colleges or 2 1 1 colleges. Students with low scores can apply for Jiangsu University, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Xi University of Technology, Xi University of Architecture and Technology, Kunming University of Science and Technology and other powerful "double non-"universities.
