Generally speaking, the universities named after the "provincial name" are basically either 985 or 211, and everyone is scrambling to apply for the examination, because generally speaking, this kind of school is famous, and the subject strength, master's and doctoral points, and the quality of teachers are particularly guaranteed, but correspondingly, the score will not be low.
But there are exceptions to everything, let's talk about 3 double non-African universities named after the province, never promote themselves but their strength is still very strong, and they are earned.
The first: Shanxi University
Shanxi University, located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, is a national "double first-class" university, as well as a "ministry-provincial joint university" and a key university in Shanxi Province. The school was selected into the national "Comprehensive Strength Improvement Project of Colleges and Universities in the Central and Western Regions". In the latest China University Rankings 2023, Shanxi University is ranked 89th in the country and ranked first in the Shanxi University Rankings.
As one of the best universities in Shanxi Province, Shanxi University is highly anticipated, especially in a province where there are not many top universities and there are no 985 universities, Shanxi still attaches great importance to this university. However, this university is much more low-key than Taiyuan University of Technology, but its strength is not so low-key, it is the best comprehensive university in the province, and it is also the most comprehensive discipline in the province.
Shanxi University is a comprehensive liberal arts and sciences university with a strong reputation for both liberal arts and science majors. However, although many years have passed, the school has not yet completely shaken off the negative impact of the split, and one of the most competitive disciplines of the current school is physics, which is second only to some 985 universities in China, and sometimes even at the same level, so it is rated as a B+ subject by the Ministry of Education.
The second: Hebei University
The history of Hebei University can be traced back to 1921, when it was called Tianjin Technology and Business University. After several renaming and reorganization, it has been called Tianjin Industrial and Commercial College, Jingu University, National Jingu University, etc., and after 2000, Hebei Provincial Technical Supervision School, Hebei Provincial Staff Medical College and its affiliated hospitals have also been incorporated into the system of Hebei University. So far, Hebei University has become what we know today.
Hebei University is located in Baoding City, Hebei Province, and its campus includes Wusi Road, Qiyi Road, and Yuhua Road campuses. Although it does not belong to the double first-class university, it can at least rank among the top three in Hebei Province. The school has a history of nearly 100 years, with a profound heritage, a complete education system, convenient transportation, and a high-quality source of students. Although it has not reached the level of a double first-class university, it has strong competitiveness in its professional field and has a high social status.
Hebei University is known as "Little 211". In the latest comprehensive university rankings, it is ranked 37th in the national ranking, which can be said to be quite strong. As a comprehensive university of arts and sciences, Hebei University is still dominated by literature and history majors due to its historical origins. In the subject evaluation, the university's B-class disciplines are mainly concentrated in the field of literature and history, including Chinese Chinese literature and journalism and communication.
The third: Jiangsu University
Jiangsu University is a university with a long history, and now it is a university jointly established by the province and the ministry. The university's fluid machinery ranks first in the country, and its influence in the automotive industry in Shanghai and Nanjing is second only to Tongji University. According to the latest discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education, the university's agricultural engineering discipline ranks third in the country, behind Zhejiang University and China Agricultural University.
Contrary to what many people think, Jiangsu University is not only good at planting, but also includes fluid engineering, thermal and power engineering (engine), agricultural electrical automation, engineering thermophysics, food engineering, agricultural mechanical engineering, power engineering, and many other traditional engineering fields, which fully demonstrates the overall engineering strength of the university.
Moreover, two disciplines of the university are in the top 1% of the Esi rankings, namely botany and animal science, and general social science! For a long time, we have always thought that Jiangsu University is strong in science and engineering, but slightly weak in social science. However, I did not expect that the university's "general social sciences" were ahead of other universities in Jiangsu Province and took the lead in ranking among the top 1% of Esi! No wonder Jiangsu University was called the king of ordinary universities by many netizens.
These are all very low-key schools, but the strength is not low-key, if you are interested, you can click on the official website to take a look.
