As can be seen from the data in the table, the postgraduate colleges for geography majors are mainly concentrated in the postgraduate colleges for teachers, so candidates should first analyze their actual situation when choosing colleges.

Among normal universities, Beijing Normal University and East China Normal University rank high, and they are all 985 universities, so the competition pressure is great. Every year, many graduate students choose these two institutions to apply for the exam, which makes it more difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

In addition to normal universities, universities with good geography majors include Peking University, Wuhan University, Lanzhou University and Nanjing University. These four universities are all 985 engineering universities, and their comprehensive strength ranks in the forefront of the country, and they are selected into the list of double-class universities. Therefore, from the perspective of comprehensive strength, it is very difficult for these universities to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

To sum up, before choosing a postgraduate school, candidates should first judge their actual situation, so as to determine which postgraduate school they are suitable for.
