What's the difference between universities directly under the Ministry of Education and universities affiliated to other central departments?
It's just that the different management institutions have little influence on the school itself, but the focus is slightly different. For example, Harbin Institute of Technology, Beihang University, Beijing Institute of Technology and Northwest Industries used to belong to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and now they are included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. These universities are all famous universities. Because it belongs to the commission of science, technology and industry for national defense, it is mainly national defense, so it is not much different from other subordinate universities. It doesn't matter which department you belong to when choosing a school. Let's just say that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology allocates a lot of money to Harbin Institute of Technology every year. If it is affiliated with the Ministry of Education, it will be a great loss for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and many universities are founded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology or other departments. Of course, it is impossible to belong to the Ministry of Education. These involve some political issues and have nothing to do with us students.
