After the deadline for the 2024 National Unified Admission Examination for Master's Students, candidates have attracted widespread attention to the change in the number of applicants. According to the latest statistics, the number of applicants nationwide this year is 4.38 million, a decrease of 3580,000, a decrease of 190,000 compared to 2022. This trend has led us to think about the deeper reasons behind it. This article will analyze in detail the reasons for the reduction in candidate registration, and conduct a review of the acceptance rate for the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination**.
1.Changes in the economic environment: The slowdown in global economic growth and the pressure on China's economic development have affected candidates' choice of postgraduate examinations. In the past, graduate school entrance examination was a way to improve future income expectations, but as the economic environment changes, many students are starting to consider entering the job market directly.
2.Impact of the pandemic: The pandemic in 2023 has caused many students to postpone or abandon their plans to go to graduate school. In the wake of the pandemic, students have become more uncertain about their future and are opting for direct employment rather than further study.
3.Policy adjustment: In recent years, the country's policies on the introduction and training of talents have been continuously adjusted, which has also led to changes in the demand for graduate students. Some policies may encourage students to go straight into employment after completing their undergraduate studies and not to pursue a graduate degree.
4.Promoting the reform of the education system: In order to improve the quality of undergraduate education and cultivate application-oriented talents, the reform of China's education system has been continuously promoted. This orientation to reform may have influenced students' decisions about whether or not to go to graduate school.
According to the statistical data and expert analysis in recent years, the actual number of admissions in the national unified admission examination for master's students in 2024 will exceed 1.25 million, and the acceptance rate will be 2854%。
Looking at the change in acceptance rate data from 2018 to 2023, the acceptance rate in 2018 was 3605%, and the acceptance rate in 2019 was 3162%, with a 2020 acceptance rate of 3246%, with a 2021 acceptance rate of 3122%, and the acceptance rate in 2022 is 2718%, with an acceptance rate of 26 in 202326%。Since the number of applicants for postgraduate entrance examination in 2024 will drop to 4.38 million, while the actual number of admissions will not be less than 1.24 million, it is expected that the national postgraduate admission rate will increase in 2024.
Judging from the overall trend, although the acceptance rate is slightly lower than in the past few years, it will increase by 1%-2% compared to 2022 and 2023, which is undoubtedly good news for candidates.
The decrease in the number of applicants for the 2024 National Unified Entrance Examination for Master's Degree Candidates has raised concerns about the status of postgraduate entrance examinations. After analysis, we can see that factors such as changes in the economic environment, the impact of the new crown epidemic, policy adjustments, and the reform of the education system have all had an impact on candidates' choice of postgraduate examinations. It is expected that the admission rate will exceed 1.25 million in 2024, with an acceptance rate of 2854%。This is good news for candidates. In the process of preparing for the exam, it is important to make a thorough preparation plan, focus on the basic knowledge of the Xi, improve the test-taking ability, maintain a good attitude and arrange the time reasonably. Through efficient preparation, I believe that candidates will be able to achieve excellent results in the 2024 postgraduate entrance examination.
