For art students, if they want to study in a better college when they volunteer to fill in the college entrance examination, they must be familiar with the "30+18" independent enrollment of art colleges, of which 41 colleges and universities recruit art students. In 2024, 40 of the above 48 colleges and universities will be qualified for school examination enrollment, but only 38 colleges and universities will clearly organize school examination enrollment. Among the 38 colleges and universities that organize school examination enrollment, 23 recruit art students and organize art school examination enrollment.
All art students and their parents know that 30 refers to the 30 independent undergraduate art colleges in the country, and the latter 18 refers to the 18 colleges and universities approved by the Ministry of Education and with reference to the independent undergraduate art colleges and universities, among the 18 universities, there are 5 colleges and universities with commonalities, they are Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, Tianjin Polytechnic University, Donghua University, Suzhou University, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, what do they have in common? Because these five universities have historically belonged to the universities directly under the former Ministry of Textile Industry, their strongest major before was the textile major.
Why can the above 5 universities enter the category of 18 colleges and universities that independently set up undergraduate art college enrollment with reference to the art category? We can find that in the subject evaluation, Soochow University has an A-grade, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and Donghua University have a B+ grade, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University has a B-grade, and Tianjin Polytechnic University has a C-grade. Among the 149 universities majoring in fashion and apparel design, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University ranked 2nd, Donghua University ranked 3rd, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology ranked 4th, Soochow University ranked 9th, and Tianjin Polytechnic University ranked 29th. It can be seen that the strength of these five colleges and universities in design, clothing and apparel design is one of the reasons why they can enter the school examination enrollment category of art universities.
Netizens who are more clear about the history of colleges and universities understand that there have been "eight textile colleges" in the history of higher education in the mainland, and the above five universities are included in them, and their original names are East China Textile Institute of Technology (Donghua University), Beijing Institute of Textile Technology (Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology), Tianjin Institute of Textile Technology (Tianjin Polytechnic University), Suzhou Silk Institute of Technology (Suzhou University), Zhejiang Silk Institute of Technology (Zhejiang Sci-Tech University). In addition to the above five universities, there are also three universities that have failed to enter the category of art school examinations, including Wuhan Textile Institute of Technology (Wuhan Textile University), Northwest Textile Institute of Technology (Xi'an Polytechnic University), and Zhengzhou Institute of Textile Technology (Zhongyuan Institute of Technology).
In the evaluation of design disciplines, Wuhan Textile University obtained B- grade, Xi'an Polytechnic University was C-grade, and in the ranking of clothing and apparel design majors of soft science, Wuhan Textile University ranked 10th, Xi'an Polytechnic University ranked 19th, Zhongyuan Institute of Technology 59th, etc., from here we found that in the clothing and apparel design major, only Zhongyuan Institute of Technology ranked lower, but its ranking also ranked in the top half of the 149 universities.
For art students, if the major selection target is clothing and apparel design major when filling in the college entrance examination, in addition to the three colleges and universities that need to be enrolled in the school examination, as well as Donghua University and Tianjin Polytechnic University, which are more competitive and need to take the school examination, Wuhan Textile University, Xi'an Polytechnic University, and Zhongyuan Institute of Technology are also colleges and universities that everyone can fully trust, especially the first two, the strength is still the same, and candidates with relatively intermediate grades can consider Zhongyuan Institute of Technology.
