Self-taught examination is a major other than your major. That is to say, if you study a major by yourself, you can get an undergraduate diploma after the exam, plus your major is a double degree.

Self-study examination, the full name of higher education self-study examination, has a dual nature: it is not only a national examination system, but also a new form of education. As a national examination system, it is formulated by the state, and the government examination institutions exercise the examination right on behalf of the state, and implement strict national examinations for all self-taught candidates in accordance with the goals and standards set by the state. The examination results are recognized by the state, and the diplomas obtained are recognized by the state.

Difference: Self-taught examination is a university without walls, and anyone who meets the requirements in society can apply for it.

The university entered after the college entrance examination, and it is impossible to enter the study without the college entrance examination.
