The juvenile class in Chinese mainland started at 1978. At the suggestion of Chinese-American physicist Li Zhengdao, many colleges and universities in China once recruited young college students, but for various reasons, most colleges and universities stopped enrolling students.

At present, only three universities in China, namely China University of Science and Technology, Xi Jiaotong University and Southeast University, have juvenile classes. Among them, China University of Science and Technology and Xi Jiaotong University recruit 40 freshmen every year, 130, and the enrollment of Southeast University depends on the specific results of candidates.

Among them, there are two years of preparatory course, four years of undergraduate course and two years of master's degree, and the training mode of "preparatory course+basic general education+wide-caliber specialty+innovative ability" is implemented. Three 985 universities with "junior classes" can be "locked" by 985 universities without the college entrance examination.

First, 985 University, a key university that is still offering junior classes.

In recent years, the University of Science and Technology of China, Xi Jiaotong University and Southeast University have continued to offer juvenile classes. These three universities are all key 985 universities with very strong domestic strength. Among them, China University of Science and Technology and Xi Jiaotong University rank in the top of the national 65 and 438+05 universities, and the engineering disciplines of Southeast University are first-class in the country. The juvenile class of China University of Science and Technology is the most famous.

Second, you don't have to take the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination to enter the Xi Jiaotong University Junior Class.

Students who are selected into the "Youth Class" of Xi Jiaotong University can be directly admitted to the "Youth Class" of Xi Jiaotong University without the senior high school entrance examination; Those who pass the college entrance examination during the preparatory period can directly enter the undergraduate study of Xi Jiaotong University without passing the college entrance examination, and choose university majors according to their academic performance and comprehensive evaluation during the preparatory period.

Those who meet the relevant requirements of the school during their undergraduate study can be exempted from postgraduate examination and directly sent to Xi Jiaotong University to study for a master's degree (or a long-term doctor's degree). Students in the juvenile class are in the preparatory and undergraduate stages (six years).

Third, Xi Jiaotong University Junior Class examines various abilities.

Qian Xuesen, a world-famous scientist and the father of China Aerospace, once left a thought-provoking "question of the century"-why can't universities in China always cultivate top-notch innovative talents? This problem also touched the pain point of Xi Jiaotong University.

As the first batch of 2 1 1 and 985 engineering universities in China, Xi jiaotong university has been trying to answer this question, and setting up juvenile classes is one of the exploration steps.

There are 2 15 graduates from various experimental classes (including Qian Xuesen class, juvenile class, mathematics experimental class and physics experimental class) in Qian Xuesen College in 2065, with 438+08 graduates, of whom 68 will go to Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, University of Chicago, Oxford University and other world-renowned universities to continue their master's degrees.
