As employment at home and abroad becomes more and more difficult, the number of people who want to continue their studies and apply for doctoral degrees has increased, and the funding or quota for doctoral enrollment has not increased significantly, and even some majors have been reduced to a certain extent, and the difficulty of applying will be further increased
