1. Differences in access conditions: The basic requirements for university counselors are relatively low. First-class universities generally require doctoral degrees, while double non-universities only require master's degrees. There is no hard and fast requirement for scientific research ability and major, but it is required to have experience as a student cadre, and must be party member. However, the recruitment of teachers in universities generally requires a doctorate, which requires higher academic potential and professional direction.

The difference of core responsibilities: University teachers are mainly engaged in undergraduate education, teaching and scientific research. Among them, graduate tutors include master tutors and doctoral tutors, who should not only do a good job in teaching and scientific research, but also be fully responsible for moral education, ideological and political education and daily management of graduate students. The core responsibilities of counselors include nine aspects, which can be simply summarized as ideological and political education and daily management of college students, and also shoulder certain moral education.

Differences in post nature: Counselors are mainly responsible for ideological and political education, engage in a small number of moral education classes, and focus on quite a lot of university management. The nature of post management is relatively strong, and the work is comprehensive, complex and dynamic. Teachers with master's and doctoral tutor qualifications not only give academic guidance to graduate students, but also perform ideological and political education and management work of counselors. Full-time teachers are generally formally established and must be approved by the human resources and social departments at or above the provincial level for the record.
