Take 20 17 as an example. The annual expenditure of Zhejiang University is/kloc-0.5 billion yuan, and that of Shandong University is 7.9 billion yuan. Although it is about 6.9 billion yuan of Nanjing University, due to the lack of enrollment expansion and other factors, the expenditure on teachers and disciplines is more efficient and Nanjing is more attractive.

The lack of one of the best disciplines in China is the main factor affecting the reputation of Shandong University. Judging from the last round of domestic discipline evaluation, Nanjing University ranked first in physics, astronomy and geology, second in chemistry and atmospheric science, foreign languages and literature, and library and information science, while Nantah's first-class disciplines such as biology, economics, Chinese language and literature, history, philosophy, politics and environmental science all entered the top three to five in China. The subjects with the best evaluation scores in Shandong University, except mathematics and archaeology, rank third in the country, while China's language and literature, physics, statistics and political science rank in the top five, and all other subjects are behind the sixth in the country.
