What does 985 mean?
985 is 985 University. 985 University is the general name of the first-class universities in China.

985 University is the general name of the first-class universities in China. Implementing the "985 Project" is an important decision made by the Chinese production party, the people of China and the State Council at the turn of the century. 1On May 4th, 998, General Secretary Jiang Zemin declared to the whole society at the celebration meeting of the 0/00th anniversary of the founding of Peking University: "In order to realize modernization, China should have a number of first-class universities with world-class level."

In order to implement the CPC Central Committee's strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and Comrade Jiang Zemin's call, the Ministry of Education decided to focus on supporting some universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University to establish world-class universities and high-level universities, which are referred to as "985" universities, also known as "985 Project" universities. So far, there are 39 985 universities in China.

In addition, some of the above-mentioned schools have set up sub-campuses, some schools have one sub-campus, and some schools have multiple campuses, which also brings difficulties to candidates. For example, Dalian University of Technology, headquartered in Dalian, Liaoning Province, has only Panjin Branch in other places. The graduation certificate and degree certificate of the branch school are the same as those of the headquarters, and the investment lines of some colleges and universities may be different.

Moreover, the majors offered by the headquarters and the branch campuses are not exactly the same. When candidates apply for the exam, they should not only pay attention to whether their grades have passed the college enrollment line, but also check which campus they are applying for. Of course, 985 campus is a good choice for some candidates who can't reach the 985 college entrance examination line and don't want to go to 2 1 1 colleges or ordinary undergraduate colleges.

985 colleges and universities are the most important. Compared with other ordinary colleges and universities, 985 College pays more attention to cultivating compound and modern talents, so it not only pays attention to the research of academic theory, but also pays attention to the examination of practical ability.
