With the development of society, college students have an increasingly urgent need to improve their competitiveness, and the postgraduate entrance examination has become the choice of many people. Especially in a precarious employment environment, having a postgraduate degree can provide more opportunities for graduates. However, after the written examination time for the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination was finalized, more than 800,000 candidates were disappointed, and the reason should be taken seriously. This article will explain the causes of this phenomenon and make corresponding recommendations.
In recent years, the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examinations has been rising, and more and more college students have realized the limitations of undergraduate degrees in the job market and have chosen to continue their studies. However, the limited number of students enrolled in colleges and universities, coupled with the fact that some colleges and universities have reduced their enrollment scale and even stopped recruiting some majors, has led to a lower and lower landing rate and more fierce competition for postgraduate entrance examinations. As soon as the written test time for the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination was announced, more than 800,000 candidates voiced their disappointment.
However, the competition for graduate school is not the only reason. In fact, every year, a large number of candidates choose to abandon the exam before the exam after successful registration. Statistics show that more than 15% of candidates give up on taking the exam every year. This phenomenon shows that successful registration is only the first step in the postgraduate entrance examination, and candidates need to make more efforts to really go ashore.
The competition for postgraduate entrance examinations is not only reflected in the increase in the number of applicants, but also in the pressure and challenges in the preparation process. Unlike the college entrance examination, the postgraduate entrance examination does not have the support of team work and teacher guidance, and candidates need to spend the entire preparation process in self-Xi and summary. During this period, there are often mental problems that can have a negative impact on physical and mental health. Some candidates choose to give up the exam under pressure, which may be a sign that they cannot bear the pressure of going to graduate school.
In the process of taking the postgraduate examination, there are various reasons why candidates choose to abandon the exam. First of all, the personal subjective reason is one of them. Some candidates choose to give up because of their own problems in the process of preparing for the exam. For example, they may find that they are not capable enough and encounter difficulties in preparing for the exam, resulting in insufficient preparation for the exam, and even if they have successfully registered, the candidate may feel anxious and frustrated in their self-confidence, and eventually choose to give up. In addition, there are some candidates who have received an invitation from their favorite company in the process of preparing for the exam, after all, the ultimate purpose of the postgraduate entrance examination is also to find employment. Once they have a better place to go, they will naturally choose to give up the postgraduate entrance examination and report to a new company. For these candidates, preparing for the postgraduate examination is only an alternative, and if there is a better option, they will naturally give up on the postgraduate examination.
In fact, there are also some uncontrollable factors that cause students to abandon their exams. For example, some candidates may not be able to take the exam due to physical reasons, which cannot be expected and controlled. In addition, if it conflicts with other important exams, it can also have an impact on the candidate's decision-making. In the process of preparing for the exam, college students may also consider preparing for other exams, participating in recruitment from other excellent companies, or even looking for other outlets, which will distract them from their energy and concentration, and thus choose to abandon the exam.
For some candidates, choosing to abandon the test is not a rash decision, but the result of careful consideration. After considering their own abilities and preparation for the exam, they believe that giving up the postgraduate entrance examination is more in line with their development needs. It is not easy to prepare for the exam, have a clear understanding of your abilities, and make different choices for your career path.
However, it is not a wise decision for candidates to give up on the postgraduate examination. Although the competition for graduate school is fierce, it is still one of the important ways to improve one's competitiveness. In today's increasingly involuted environment, college students need more opportunities to show their abilities. Relevant departments should optimize the employment environment, create a fair and just employment platform for college students, reduce the importance of academic qualifications to personal ability, and pay attention to cultivating the comprehensive quality and vocational skills of college students. In addition, the professional and technical training of vocational high schools should be strengthened, and the ratio of general vocational skills in the high school entrance examination should be moderately reduced, so as to help those students who are shunted to vocational high schools or technical schools improve their employment competitiveness. For those college students who want to take the postgraduate examination, it is necessary for the relevant departments to adapt to the situation, adjust the enrollment policy, reasonably control the enrollment scale of colleges and universities, ensure the quality of graduate students, reduce the pressure of candidates, and alleviate the phenomenon of academic involution.
We should pay attention to the disappointment of more than 800,000 candidates after the 2024 postgraduate written examination time is finalized. On the road to graduate school, perseverance and hard work are very important, and abandoning the exam is just giving up opportunities and challenges. And for those candidates who choose to forgo the exam, we should understand their decision and hope that they can find their own development path in other fields. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the optimization of the employment environment and vocational training for college students, reduce the phenomenon of academic involution, and provide more opportunities and choices for college students. Whether you choose to go to graduate school or choose another route, it is important to make an informed decision based on your situation and lay a good foundation for your future development.
