In the 20s of the 21st century, it has become commonplace for college graduates to take graduate exams. With the continuous development of the mainland's economy, the level of education has gradually improved, and the number of college students has been increasing.
With the increase of highly educated intellectuals, employers have raised the threshold for academic qualifications. Positions that originally only required a bachelor's degree or above are now required to be promoted to a master's degree or above. In order to meet the needs of employers, college students have joined the army of graduate school entrance examinations, hoping to increase their competitiveness by improving their academic qualifications.
The fall semester of 2023 has begun, and the annual graduate exams are getting closer and closer. The situation of this year's postgraduate entrance examination is different, and students who failed to take the exam last year due to the "impact of masks" are likely to rejoin the postgraduate examination battlefield this year.
The number of candidates who register for the master's examination in 2024 is expected to exceed 5 million, and the increase in the number of applicants means that the competition for postgraduate entrance examinations will be more fierce and the difficulty of successfully landing will also increase.
Regarding the ranking of the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination in mainland universities, some institutions recently announced the top 20. In this list, Tsinghua University ranked first, Peking University ranked second, Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranked third, Fudan University ranked fourth, Zhejiang University ranked fifth, and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences ranked sixth.
