~ National Southeast University-National Central University-National Nanjing University-Nanjing University. 1952 An engineering college affiliated to Nanjing University was separated from Nanjing University and merged with other institutions (departments) to form a new school-Nanjing Institute of Technology. This Nanjing Institute of Technology is not affiliated with Nanjing University, but two schools with Nanjing University.
You cut branches from a big tree and plant them on the ground to grow independently. You have your own roots. Since you left the tree, you and the tree are not the same root!
Suppose: Southeast University = National Southeast University, and because: Nanjing University = National Southeast University, so: Southeast University = Nanjing University, that is: Southeast University and Nanjing University are the same school. ?
So Southeast University and National Southeast University are two different things, two different schools.
Nanjing Institute of Technology, founded in 1988 and 1952, was renamed Southeast University.
