The length of military training in colleges and universities varies, the most common is about two weeks, but in some cases it takes more than two weeks to reach three weeks. In the 20 10 era, the military training time of freshmen in colleges and universities was obviously shortened, rarely exceeding two weeks, and some even shortened to about one week. Military training is not necessarily carried out before freshmen start school, some are arranged in the first semester after freshmen start school, and some are arranged in the second school year or other time.

Taking Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications as an example, the military training for students of Grade 20 17 lasts for two weeks, from September 17 to 30.
