Universities have been open for a while, but various rankings about universities have come and gone, in addition to some of the old 985 universities are still firm, there are also many new faces, such as Soochow University in the nature ranking, the academic ranking is ranked 57th in the world, ranking in the top 15 domestic universities, higher than Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Jilin University.
Although the university ranking in the country has not been officially recognized, but whether it is for the university itself or parents and candidates, or very marketable, some universities use this as a gimmick to publicize, attract more high-quality students, and for parents and candidates, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, after all, in more than 3,000 universities in the country to choose the right one, almost a needle in a haystack, with the university ranking, you can understand the basic strength of a university in a short period of time, for filling in the volunteer has a good guiding effect.
However, many people may not know that there are some universities in China that are mysterious and low-key, and their strength is very strong, but they seem to have never "disdained" participating in various rankings, and if they rely heavily on the list of university rankings, they are very likely to miss these good universities.
In the ranking, only three of the "double first-class" Category A universities have not participated, the National University of Defense Technology is one of them, and the other two are Lanzhou University and Minzu University of China
In September, after the announcement of the World University Rankings, 3 universities in China entered the world's top 100, especially Beijing Normal University participated in the ranking for the first time this year, ranking in the world's top 350 and the ninth highest in China, which is rare for teachers' colleges and universities. However, there are still three "double first-class" Category A universities that have not participated in this ranking, the National University of Defense Technology is one of them, and the other two are Lanzhou University and The Central University for Nationalities.
For most people, the National University of Defense Technology is somewhat unfamiliar, mainly because it is a military academy with its own mysterious feeling. As the only 985 engineering university in the military academy and the only military academy in the military academy to enter the construction of a "double first-class university", the strength of the National Defense Science and Technology University has always been a mystery like its identity. The full name of the National Defense Science and Technology University is the National Defense Science and Technology University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the predecessor of the famous Kazakh military industry, and now the headquarters of the university is in Changsha, and at the same time it is divided into four places to build branches, namely in Changsha, Nanjing, Wuhan and Hefei. As a vice-military region-level college, the National Defense Science and Technology University joins the army when it enters the school, receives a subsidy from the moment of enrollment, and has a better chance to directly enter the army or the research institute where it is located after graduation, which is equivalent to holding a golden rice bowl.
However, it is not easy to enter the National Defense Science and Technology University, which is known as the first military school in China, and some people have said that the National Defense Science and Technology University is more difficult to enter than Tsinghua, because even if the college entrance examination score meets the conditions, it does not mean that you can be admitted, even if you are enrolled, if you fail to pass the review within three months, you will still be returned to your hometown and not admitted. Candidates who are interested in entering the military school can pay attention to it in advance.
In the context of domestic universities doing their best to expand, it is not easy to continue to adhere to the "small but fine" concept of running a school, and the China Foreign Affairs College is one of them. The China Foreign Affairs College is not a 985 or 211 engineering university, as the only university directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was also selected as a "double first-class" world-class discipline construction in 2017. The reason why the Foreign Affairs College is "small and fine" is that the enrollment scale is very small, the annual enrollment number is only a few hundred, and the admission score line is higher than that of many 211 colleges and universities. In addition, according to a statistical data, one in seven graduates will work in the diplomatic service, and one in four diplomats will graduate from the Diplomatic Academy, so the high proportion also makes the Diplomatic Academy the title of "Cradle of Diplomats".
For excellent college entrance students, it is not necessary to always stare at 985 or 211 engineering universities, sometimes similar to the universities of the China Foreign Affairs College, it is completely possible to give it a go when the undergraduate is in advance.
Since 1952, there has been a wave of university mergers in China that has lasted for many years, and the key universities similar to Beijing Medical University have been incorporated into Peking University, although this is also a mutual achievement, but after all, it is no longer an independent school, and the name of Beijing Medical University has since disappeared into history. However, there is a maverick existence in the medical field, even if it is "annexed" by Tsinghua University, it is still an independent school, which is Peking Union Medical College, which is also known as the Medical Department of Tsinghua University. As a former national brand of Peking Union Medical College of China, it has never participated in any rankings, nor is it a 985 or 211 university, but everyone who studies medicine knows the good name of "South Xiangya North Union".
It is precisely because of its strong strength that Peking Union Medical College can have the capital to sit down with Tsinghua University and talk. The strength of Peking Union Medical College comes from the bottom line, similar to the Foreign Affairs College, Peking Union Medical College is also a typical representative school of "Ning Deficiency Rather Than Abuse", the total number of undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and other types of students in the university is only more than 4700 people, the proportion of graduate students is as high as 80%, and the proportion of undergraduate and junior college students is decreasing in turn. Therefore, as long as it is a student who has graduated from Peking Union Medical College, he basically bears a golden sign to apply, does not worry about employment at all, and the prospects are also bright.
However, compared with the above three low-key and powerful universities, many domestic universities have lost their way in the rankings. Nowadays, the "double first-class" university is in the evaluation stage, and many domestic universities are competing for it, and they all want to be able to show their skills and get more policy support and high-quality students, this kind of healthy competition is beyond reproach, and can stimulate the vitality of university competition to a certain extent. However, some universities have become "targeted development" in order to cater to the rankings, and even deviate from the original intention of running the school, competing for rankings without making a clear plan for the future. In this way, the purpose of university development has become to compete for rankings and attention, and it is destined to be divorced from reality in professional settings and the training of teachers, which is very likely to cause waste of resources, and newly opened majors may have to be withdrawn after a few years. In the long run, the prestige of colleges and universities in the minds of parents is getting lower and lower, consuming their own "old roots", and the gains are not worth the losses.
