First, there are too many excellent universities in Jiangsu Province.
Jiangsu has always been a place with profound cultural background. There are two 985 universities in the province, 1 1 universities and 21universities, among which Nanjing University and Southeast University are both 2 1 1 universities of 985 universities. It is precisely because of the quantity and quality of colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province that the resources in Jiangsu Province cannot be balanced and the number of places in each province is limited, so Jiangsu University finally missed the "2 1 1" project. However, in the first round of double-class selection, Jiangsu University, which did not have the title of 2 1 1 and 985, was still not outstanding enough in Jiangsu Province where famous schools gathered, so it was defeated again.
Second, the dominant disciplines were relatively unpopular. At that time, there were fewer places for double-class disciplines.
According to the results of the fourth round of discipline evaluation, the highest-ranking discipline in Jiangsu Province is agricultural engineering, which was rated as A-, ranking third in the country. However, agriculture has always been an unpopular subject in China. At that time, only the top two were selected, so China Agricultural University and Zhejiang University ranked first and second, both with A+. It is a pity that other advantageous disciplines of Jiangsu University can't break through the tight encirclement in the highly competitive engineering universities, and they can't succeed in building universities with first-class disciplines.
Third, the geographical position is not dominant and the resource and economic conditions are weak.
As a university named after the province, Jiangsu University is located in Zhenjiang, the provincial capital city, not the provincial capital city. The economic strength of this city is not very strong, and the support given to Jiangsu University in economy and resources is also very limited, so the development of Jiangsu University is not as good as that of Suzhou University and Jiangnan University with the same background.
In fact, Jiangsu University is a university with strong scientific research strength and discipline strength, but it is a pity that it failed to enter the first batch of double-class. However, after five years of development, Jiangsu University has made new breakthroughs in all aspects and received more powerful policy support. I hope that in the second round of double-class evaluation, Jiangsu University can achieve ideal results.
