On 2016/9 14, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Coordinating the Management of Full-time and Part-time Postgraduates. For the first time, the on-the-job entrance examination was included in the national unified examination as a "part-time postgraduate", so that on-the-job candidates and their postgraduate dreams could "continue to write about the frontier".

Different from the on-the-job entrance examination, the Ministry of Education requires part-time graduate students and full-time graduate students to follow the standard of "two unifications and one recognition", that is, "uniformly issue full-time and part-time graduate enrollment plans, uniformly organize and implement full-time and part-time graduate enrollment, and adhere to the same quality standards for full-time and part-time graduate education".

"Incomplete integration" implements "new methods for newcomers and old methods for the elderly". Graduate students admitted before 20 1 1654381October 30th shall be subject to the original regulations, and graduate students admitted after June 30th of 20 16+0 12 shall be divided into full-time and part-time forms.

"What is closely related to candidates is that the same major of the same enrollment unit should have the same application conditions, examination subjects, scores and admission criteria." Zhang Chi, vice president of the Graduate School of Beijing Normal University, said, for example, in the Master of Arts exam, both full-time and part-time candidates have to take the same paper, and the admission conditions are the same.

This undoubtedly makes it more difficult for on-the-job staff to prepare for the exam while working, but in exchange, "academic degree certificates have the same legal status and the same effect as full-time graduate students." For Zhang Yingying, a candidate who took the first bus "not fully integrated", "this exam reform is worthwhile".

In response to a reporter's question, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education pointed out that clarifying the definition of full-time and part-time graduate students and the overall management of the enrollment plan will help graduate training units to scientifically formulate graduate enrollment plans and training programs according to social needs, and will help candidates to accurately choose candidates, disciplines and learning methods according to their personal development needs.

At the same time, despite the pressure of changing the composition of candidates and increasing the number of candidates, all test centers in Beijing have made a sound preparation for the first year of "incomplete integration".
