The university plans to enroll 8,400 undergraduate students this year

Q: What changes will there be in the overall enrollment situation of the University this year, and when are the specific policies expected to come out?

Wu Wentao: The school has Tunxi Road Campus, Emerald Lake Campus, Lu'an Road Campus and Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Research Institute in Hefei, and Xuancheng Campus of Hefei University of Technology in Xuancheng City. In 2024, the university plans to enroll 8,400 regular undergraduates, including 5,700 in Hefei and 2,700 in Xuancheng, of which about 25% are from Anhui Province. The school plan and the provincial and professional enrollment plan are subject to the announcement of the Ministry of Education.

Q: Is there any difference between Hefei Campus and Xuancheng Campus?

Wu Wentao: Hefei Campus and Xuancheng Campus are the first batch of universities to be admitted in all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The school's undergraduate enrollment adopts the two names of "Hefei University of Technology" (national standard code 10359) and "Hefei University of Technology (Xuancheng Campus)" (national standard code 19359), which have independent enrollment college codes. The name of the school that issued the graduation certificate and degree certificate at the time of graduation is Hefei University of Technology, and the type of certificate is general higher education graduation certificate.

Q: What are the characteristic majors and advantages of Hefei University of Technology? New energy vehicles have been very popular recently, and vehicle engineering is also the school's trump card major, what are the advantages and employment directions of this major?

Wu Wentao: We have nearly 100 undergraduate majors, of which 48 are national first-class majors, accounting for half, and each major is an advantageous major, such as the integrated circuit design and integrated system and other professional innovation experimental classes jointly cultivated by the University of Science and Technology of China are also mainly located in Anhui.

Hefei University of Technology has two undergraduate majors, vehicle engineering and intelligent vehicle engineering, and has formed research characteristics in the key technologies of new energy vehicles, intelligent vehicle technology, lightweight design, vehicle reliability and other fields. It has formed long-term and stable cooperative relations with key enterprises in the industry such as JAC, Chery, Ankai, and NIO, and has contributed to the development of new energy vehicles and intelligent networked automobile industries. Graduates have successfully entered well-known domestic and foreign enterprises, such as FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC, Huawei, etc., and have become technical backbones and leaders in their respective fields.

The longer test time is conducive to taking the test calmly

Q: For parents and candidates, the primary concern at this stage is the current college entrance examination. There are many changes in the type and content of this year's college entrance examination. From the joint examination of the nine provinces, including the just-concluded Hefei City Second Model Examination, we can see what direction the new college entrance examination has given? This year, the college entrance examination time has been adjusted from two days to three days, how should candidates adapt to such changes? In what aspects can some adjustments and efforts be made?

Zhang Yongjian: Change is a constant theme. At present, the test questions of the college entrance examination focus more on students' independent thinking, encourage open inquiry, and examine students' cognitive ability, innovation ability, development potential, practical ability, etc. For students, the current second round of review is still very crucial, and it is necessary to pay attention to the foundation and return to the textbook. Students should comprehensively consider their own learning situation, tailor a revision plan for themselves in a realistic manner, focus on reviewing relevant knowledge, and respond to the challenges in an orderly manner.

The elongated timeline of the college entrance examination will make it more comfortable for candidates to cope with the battle, and the design of the test subjects will also make the psychological pressure of candidates less and less. For candidates, it is a good thing to find a problem at this moment, and it is important to adjust their mentality, and for the school, they have a wealth of experience in preparing for the exam.

Make good use of big data information

Q: There are two major changes in this year's batch of volunteers (the number of volunteers has increased to 45, and there is no longer one or two enrollments), for these new changes, what should we pay attention to when filling in the volunteers this year?

Zhang Yongjian: Voluntary filling in is the first time for many candidates' parents, as long as the candidates and parents carefully study the relevant requirements issued by the examination institute, it is not very difficult. In the past, you could fill in 6 college volunteers, and in each college volunteer, you can fill in 6 professional volunteers, and you have to fill in a maximum of 36 volunteers, but now it has increased to 45, which is still the same as the principle in the past. Moreover, it is more convenient to consult relevant data in the era of big data, in terms of understanding the requirements of children's interests and hobbies, which schools can be applied for in the subjects chosen, and the professional group must meet the subject requirements. For parents, at this stage, you can do some understanding in advance, which major majors need which subjects, which directions can be reported, which directions can not be reported, and it is okay to do some basic preparations.

The admission line rankings of colleges and universities in previous years can still be used for reference

Q: After the announcement of the score line of this year's college entrance examination, candidates are most concerned about whether their scores and rankings can be admitted to the University of Technology. So do the rankings of previous years still have a reference effect on this year's application, and what suggestions does the school have for candidates?

Wu Wentao: It has reference significance. Candidates and parents can pay attention to the undergraduate enrollment information of Hefei University of Technology. We have started all kinds of online and offline enrollment publicity, and the promotional content will also be pushed through various platforms such as websites, WeChat official accounts, and live broadcasts.

Students should plan their careers as early as possible

Q: After the new college entrance examination, it is no longer a branch of arts and sciences, and the "3+1+2" model is adopted. What is the proportion of the "1+2" permutations and combinations of the candidates in Hefei No. 9 Middle School? Has the proportion of students choosing history and physics changed much from the previous era of arts and sciences? For the students in the first year of high school, or even earlier junior high school students, if they want to choose subjects well, what preparations should be made in career planning?

Zhang Yongjian: This year's college entrance examination has undergone great changes, and the most important combination of "3+1+2" is that candidates have more choices for college entrance examination subjects. As far as Hefei No. 9 Middle School is concerned, 70% of the physical direction and 30% of the historical direction are selected.

The reason why we give everyone more choices is to serve the individualized growth of students, and children should make their own career planning as soon as possible, and combine personal growth with the rejuvenation of the country and the nation according to their own strengths and heartfelt hobbies. It is important to think earlier and seek help from all aspects of the school and society, what kind of majors can help you realize your dreams, which ones are mandatory and which ones are optional, and it is very important to understand clearly.

Q: Many candidates are concerned about changing majors after entering colleges and universities. After the new college entrance examination, the volunteer also adopts the model of college + professional group, does this mean that there are more opportunities to choose a major after entering a university?

Wu Wentao: There are many ways to change majors: (1) The top 30% of students in the first academic year can apply to change majors. (2) Changing majors by other means, including changing majors by revolving agreements, changing majors with academic expertise, etc. In addition, the annual enrollment plan of the innovation experimental class with the goal of cultivating top-notch innovation, academic elites and industry leaders is about 180 people every year, and the new students will be selected within three months of enrollment.

It is worth mentioning that in order to help candidates and parents understand the new college entrance examination policy, Dawan News has created a special number of college entrance examination voluntary filling service "Xiaojiang Teacher Admission Plan" and "Lin Lin Teacher Says College Entrance Examination" this year to deliver enrollment information to parents and students in a timely manner, and provide professional, authoritative and public welfare voluntary filling guidance services.
