China's 985 Project universities have long been among the best universities, and they have high expectations for creating world-class universities.
So, how strong are these selected 985 engineering universities?
In the fourth national discipline evaluation, most of the 39 985 project universities have at least one A discipline, which undoubtedly reflects the strength of these universities.
However, there are some surprising facts.
Of the 39 985 engineering universities, seven schools do not have A subjects.
The seven schools are Nankai University, Dalian University of Technology, Jilin University, Northeastern University, Hunan University, Chongqing University, and Northwest A&F University.
Although these schools show different strengths and characteristics in the subject evaluation, such as the strength of humanities and social sciences and science disciplines at Nankai University, or the strength of the engineering school of Dalian University of Technology, the lack of A disciplines is still a fact that cannot be ignored.
The lack of A subjects is undoubtedly a pity for 985 universities.
A first-class university is supported by first-class disciplines, and the lack of A disciplines will affect the overall reputation and academic strength of the school to a certain extent.
However, these 985 universities, which do not have an A subject, still have outstanding features.
Their combined strength should not be underestimated, and they are cost-effective when applying for exams, which means that students are relatively rewarding for studying at these schools.
Therefore, students who choose to apply to these schools need to consider comprehensively, and cannot be helpless in these schools just because they lack A subjects.
When evaluating a university, we should not only look at whether the school has A subjects, but also pay attention to the overall development trend and characteristics of the school.
Each school has its own unique strengths and characteristics, and the choice should be based on individual interests and future development plans.
Therefore, when choosing a university, students and parents should make a more informed choice based on their actual situation and needs.
Project 985 University is definitely a high-quality institution, but it is not the only choice, each school has its own unique charm, and we should look at each university with a rational and objective attitude.
