The University of Chinese Academy of Sciences began to recruit undergraduates from 20 14, so it was not selected for the 21/project and the 985 project. However, in 20 17, it was selected as the first batch of first-class discipline construction universities in China. Judging from the admission scores, I think the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is better than many 985 universities.
Although the National University of Science and Technology covers three levels of higher education, it mainly focuses on master's and doctoral education, and undergraduates only account for a small part, so the number of teachers exceeds 985 universities.
According to the statistics of official website, there are 309 1 full-time teachers in the National Science and Technology University, including 78 academicians of the two academies. Such a strong faculty is hard to see in 985 universities, even in Peking University (165438 academicians of the two academies) and Tsinghua University (89 academicians of the two academies).
