My understanding
At that time, I failed in the college entrance examination and was admitted to an ordinary university. Compared with 985,211,the double-class institutions are naturally inferior. Postgraduate entrance examination is equivalent to the second college entrance examination in my life, and it is the last "life-saving straw" for me to enter the 985, 2 1 1 and double-class universities. Although some enterprises pay more attention to the first degree, they can try their best to move up and get closer to first-class universities such as 985, 2 1 1. There must be more than one college student like me, and everyone is desperately "rolling".
For this reason, the number of graduate students enrolled in the postgraduate entrance examination is also increasing year by year. In 2022, the number of graduate students enrolled nationwide was 4.57 million. After some professional postgraduate entrance examination reports, it is estimated that the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examination in China may exceed 5.2 million in 2023.
Statistics on the number of national master's applicants over the years are as follows:
Although it is not as hot as the postgraduate entrance examination, the competitive pressure of civil servants in the national examination is not small, and the number of applicants is basically increasing year by year. Since the epidemic has not been completely eliminated, more people will choose the work of civil servants. In addition, the number of graduates in 2023 will reach a new high, and the competition in the national examination will become more and more fierce. Students who want to take the national examination should be psychologically prepared.
Statistics on the number of applicants for the national civil service examination in recent five years are as follows:

With the increasing number of applicants, the threshold for entering the exam has also increased. In the past, a junior college degree was enough for civil servants. After all, college students also had enough gold in the past. But now, it is very difficult for college students to take the civil service exam. For example, in the national examination, there are almost no positions that college students can register for.
Whether taking the public examination or taking the postgraduate entrance examination is a way for individuals to improve themselves, which more or less reflects the general public's understanding of "reading changes their destiny". Although this sentence is often mentioned, few people really realize the importance of reading. With the arrival of the new era and the continuous innovation of science and technology, our young people can be unique in the new world in the future only by constantly improving their knowledge literacy.
