"Children of martyrs", "Hui people" and "retired soldiers who have won second class merit or been awarded honorary titles by units above the military region". Candidates who meet one of the above conditions can add 20 points to the total score of the college entrance examination culture course, and the university will decide whether to admit them.

"Hui candidates" are subject to household registration. If the ethnic composition changes, the results of the audit by the local religious affairs bureau shall prevail, and the ethnic affairs committee of the autonomous region shall be responsible for the spot check and review; "Veterans who have won second-class merit (inclusive) or been awarded honorary titles by units above the military region (inclusive) during their service" shall be presented with the original certificate of meritorious service and the original certificate issued by the examination and approval authority of the unit where they have rendered meritorious service. If the same candidate meets multiple bonus conditions, he can only get the highest score, and all bonus points shall not be accumulated.

Reasons for extra points for ethnic minorities:

1. As we all know, most ethnic minorities live in remote areas with poor environmental conditions, and their educational resources are relatively backward compared with ordinary areas. It is precisely because we can't receive high-quality education, so for the sake of fairness, the state can implement the policy of extra points for ethnic minorities, which can reflect the equality between ethnic groups on the one hand and strengthen national unity on the other.

In most ethnic minority areas, the economy is very backward, and many children can't go to school. The policy of adding extra points for ethnic minorities is also aimed at allowing more ethnic minority candidates to receive higher education, and ultimately narrowing the gap between ethnic groups in education and economic development.

However, with the continuous promotion of the ideal of common prosperity and the implementation of the national poverty alleviation plan, many ethnic minority areas have reached the national average as a whole, and some candidates in ethnic minority areas have begun to live and study in cities. In order to achieve fairness in the college entrance examination, some provinces have also promulgated regulations on reducing and canceling extra points for minority candidates in the college entrance examination.
