Foreword:
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, the number of postgraduate applicants in China has been rising steadily in recent years, and from 2015 to 2023, the number of postgraduate applicants has increased from 16490,000** to 4.74 million, and the number of applicants in 2024 is 4.38 million, although the number has decreased, but the competition is still fierce.
The reasons for the increasing number of graduate students mainly include fierce competition for employment, the increasing attractiveness of higher education for career development, the increasing demand for research-oriented talents in society, and the increase in national support for scientific research and innovation.
This makes more and more people choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination to improve their overall quality, obtain better career opportunities and deeper professional knowledge.
As one of the top universities in China, Peking University is known for its academic excellence, strong faculty, and excellent research output. Many students regard it as an ideal goal for graduate school and pursue further study at this institution.
The university has a superior discipline system and abundant research resources, attracting many students who are interested in further study and pursue academic excellence. Its strict admissions standards and fierce competition also reflect the strict requirements for high-level graduate students.
The students of "such universities" are the main source of students of Peking University, with a high promotion rate and strong strength
There are two ways to go to graduate school: one is to pass the national unified entrance examination for master's students (i.e., postgraduate examination), and the other is to pass the recommendation exemption examination (i.e., guaranteed research).
The postgraduate entrance examination requires candidates to prepare for the exam and take the exam independently, while the insurance research is to obtain the exemption qualification through the academic performance and comprehensive quality performance at the undergraduate level, and directly enter the target university to study for graduate school.
Some time ago, the headquarters of Peking University released the public list of graduate students to be admitted in 2024, including 1,921 master's students and 1,566 direct doctoral students. Based on the public list of graduate students to be admitted by Peking University from 2021 to 2024 (excluding Peking University Health Science Center), the graduate schools of Peking University have made statistics on the graduate schools that recommend exempt students.
From 2021 to 2024, Peking University plans to accept 12,532 students from 211 universities, of which about 98% are from "double first-class" universities.
The high rate of double first-class universities in China is mainly due to the fact that these universities have high-quality educational resources and faculty, which can provide students with better academic guidance and training.
In addition, double first-class universities have a high level in discipline construction, teaching and research, scientific research strength, etc., and are also more likely to obtain support from the state and society, so as to provide students with more academic and practical opportunities.
In addition, the comprehensive quality of students in double first-class universities is generally higher, and their academic performance and performance at the undergraduate level are also better, and it is easier for them to obtain the qualification of guaranteed research. Therefore, the research retention rate of double first-class universities is generally high, which is also an affirmation of the education quality and talent training of these universities.
In the past four years, Wuhan University has the highest total number of graduate students sent to Peking University, with a total of 355 students. Sun Yat-sen University ranked second, with a total of 337. Nankai University ranked 3rd with a total of 318. Shandong University ranked 4th with a total of 289 students and Xiamen University ranked 5th with a total of 245 students.
Chinese Renmin University ranked 6th, with a total of 234. Sichuan University ranked 7th, with a total of 229. Beijing Normal University ranked 8th, with a total of 228. Jilin University ranked 9th, with a total of 207, and these are all universities with a total of more than 200 universities, which are strong.
It is worth noting that in the past four years, about 2% of the exempted students came from 83 non-"double first-class" universities. Among them, there are 23 students from the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 21 from Southwest University of Political Science and Law, 16 from East China University of Political Science and Law, 14 from Shenzhen University, and 13 from Beijing Language and Culture University.
The graduate students who can be exempted from Peking University have put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes. They have not only achieved excellent results in the undergraduate stage, but also actively participated in various academic, scientific research, practical and other activities to improve their comprehensive quality.
These efforts include not only careful listening in class, review and preview after class, but also independent selection of research directions, participation in research projects, and academic presentations. The promotion to Peking University is an affirmation of their efforts and strength, and it is also an important opportunity for them to continue their studies and development.
