Today's job market is highly competitive, and many college graduates are facing employment difficulties. In order to increase their chances of finding their dream job in the future, many students choose to improve their competitiveness by improving their academic qualifications and postgraduate examinations. The main purpose of students applying for graduate school is to find better employment opportunities. However, with the expansion of colleges and universities and the shortage of accommodation resources, as well as the phenomenon of expanding the enrollment of professional and master's students and shrinking the enrollment of master's students, the cost and competition of postgraduate entrance examination have gradually increased.
In recent years, many colleges and universities have been strained in accommodation resources due to the expansion of enrollment. Accommodation at the school is often designed to facilitate the management of undergraduates, but this also means that graduate students are sacrificed for accommodation. Nowadays, many well-known universities have announced that they will no longer provide on-campus housing, and students need to solve the accommodation problem on their own. While some schools have pledged to coordinate for students to live close to school in order to reduce the cost of student accommodation, others require students to pay for themselves. This not only increases the cost of graduate school for graduate students, but also makes it impossible for them to enjoy the convenience of on-campus accommodation.
On the road to improving their qualifications, students often give preference to master's degrees. However, in recent years, many colleges and universities have increased the number of enrollment places for professional and master's degrees, while the enrollment places for master's degrees have decreased a lot. This trend has unnerved some graduate students. The increase in professional masters and the decrease in the number of master's degrees make it possible for students who want to find their dream jobs to choose only professional masters. According to the news, many colleges and universities have announced that they will stop recruiting professional and master's degrees, and even some majors in some colleges and universities will stop recruiting academic graduate students from 2024.
According to the plan of the Ministry of Education, the proportion of professional and master's degrees will be higher than that of master's degrees in the future. It is expected that by 2025, the proportion of post-graduate students will reach 67% of the total enrollment, more than half. This means that the master's degree may withdraw from the historical stage, and most graduate students can only choose a master's degree. Such news makes many students who intend to go to graduate school feel nervous and worried about the continuous cost of graduate school.
Judging from the current data, the proportion of professional masters has continued to rise, from 39% in 2010 to 67% at present. It can be seen that in the future, professional masters will become the general trend. Therefore, students need to think more before taking the postgraduate entrance examination and make a choice based on their own situation. Although there is not much time left before the 2024 graduate school entrance examination, students should not be too nervous in the remaining time, and should adjust their pre-exam mentality, get enough sleep, and meet the exam in the best condition.
Postgraduate entrance examination is an important choice for many college students, not only as a means to improve their academic qualifications, but also as a bargaining chip to increase employment opportunities. However, with the expansion of colleges and universities and the shortage of accommodation resources, as well as the trend of decreasing master's degree and increasing professional master's degree, the cost and competition of postgraduate entrance examination have gradually increased. In the face of the rise of the trend of professional and master's degrees, students need to seriously think about their career planning and future development direction, and make wise choices based on their own circumstances. The most important thing is not to be bothered by changes and pressures from the outside world, to maintain a good mindset and a positive attitude to make the best decisions for your future.
