According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, the scale of domestic graduates this year reached a record high. In 2022, the number of Chinese college graduates exceeded 10 million. Many graduates tease, this may be the most "volume" graduation season in history.

How to escape this "melee"? A large number of graduates or students who are about to enter the senior year have aimed their attention to the postgraduate entrance examination. Data show that the number of applicants for the National Master's Graduate Admissions Examination in 2022 reached 4.57 million, an increase of 800,000 from 2021, an increase of 21%.

A few days ago, the reporter's investigation found that many college students were preparing for the graduate exam in the 2023 of all time. In this hot summer, they were busy and enriched.

Prepare the postgraduate entrance examination and not go home

"Time is tight." Xiao Chen was from Hunan University of Technology, and his hometown was in Fujian. As soon as the final exam was over, he would leave school immediately. But in order to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination this year, he decided to leave valuable time in Zhuzhou.

Although the Ministry of Education has not announced the specific time of this year's postgraduate entrance examination, the students have found some "clues" online. For example, in the 2022 test project arrangement released by the Guizhou Provincial Admissions Examination Institute, the time of the examination of the postgraduate test is from December 24th to 26th, 2022 (the specific time is subject to the final time of the Ministry of Education). The initial test is only more than 4 months.

Xiao Chen said that during the holidays, they rented a room with friends. The two agreed to get up at 7 o'clock in the morning to read 1 hour in the morning every morning, and then had breakfast and then went to the off -campus study room together. Generally, they would return to the residence until 9 pm. In order to save time, their Chinese food and dinner were takeaway. They were sleepy at noon, and they lay on the table for half an hour.

Similarly, Liu, a junior student from Guangdong, chose to "stay" Zhuzhou in the summer. She said that on the one hand, she wasted for time, and on the other hand, she was worried about her inertia.

Unlike Xiao Chen, although Li Pengpeng (a pseudonym) who studied in the field has returned to Zhuzhou, she still did not choose to prepare for the exam at home. It is understood that she has been preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination since her sophomore summer vacation. In order to prepare for the exam, she has not even participated in an internship in recent years.

"The environment in the home is too much. For example, my mother may come to the room to send some food at any time." Xiao Li said that it is easy to be disturbed by family members at home. The most important thing is that the atmosphere of learning is lacking. So I am more willing to go to the library or pay for the self -study room, because there are people who are studying around. There is the atmosphere you chase me, which will also imply that you are more concentrated and hard.

In a toll self -study room in our city, most of them are students who prepare for postgraduate entrance examinations during the holidays. They would rather spend an additional seat fee and do not want to stay at home or in the bedroom to study. "Although the self -study room needs to be charged, sometimes they have to" grab the position "." Xiao Li said that this is the true portrayal of the hot degree of postgraduate entrance examination.

Continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination under the pressure of employment

Compared with Xiao Chen and Xiao Li, although some candidates have graduated in June this year, they still have not chose to employment and employment, but continue to sprint their postgraduate entrance examinations.

"Undergraduate is not a prestigious school, and the competitiveness of job hunting is too weak. Therefore, you can only make up your mind and continue the postgraduate entrance examination." Jiayi, who has graduated in June this year, said that he went to the provincial capital to participate in several job fairs and also watched some recruitment notes online. The requirements of enterprises and institutions are getting higher and higher. Many companies have clearly required students to graduate from 985 or 211 universities, and some institutions directly use master's degree students as the starting point. So think about it, decide to temporarily slow down employment, and sprint a postgraduate entrance examination this year. If the postgraduate entrance examination is not completed, try the civil service exam. "Not employment for the time being, it means to continue to 'old", and the pressure is really great. "

Hu Jiayi's encounter and anxiety are not groundless.

In May of this year, Yunyang County, Chongqing, released a public institution recruitment information. Of the 190 recruitment positions, 176 graduate or above degree, and the remaining 14 undergraduate degree. In other words, the proportion of graduate recruitment reaches more than 90%. These positions mainly include primary school Chinese and math teachers, as well as comprehensive management posts.

In July of this year, Huangmei County, Hubei, publicly recruited a group of high -level and urgent need for talents in the county. The talent post table shows that the recruitment units include county cultural relics protection and career development centers, county traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, county No. 1 Middle School, etc. Except for 4 positions require technical secondary school and undergraduate degree or above, the remaining 45 have graduate degree, of which one is a special post for doctoral students, and the proportion of graduate recruitment also reaches more than 90%. Among them, the comprehensive law enforcement personnel of the county market supervision brigade, the recruitment requirements are more than a graduate degree.

For the "academic threshold" of corporate recruitment. It was mentioned in a "Report of Freshman Recruitment and Incentives" that the recruitment of state -owned enterprises pays particular attention to education level, and about 75%of state -owned enterprises have the needs of recruitment students.

Of course, some investigations have pointed out that some undergraduates have the problem of low employment. For example, the Research on the "Chinese Labor Market Skills Research" report pointed out that nearly 70%of the interviewed companies believe that "the knowledge of college students during school is not strong." Therefore, in the case where the knowledge learned by college students and the employment of the company's recruitment, the employer set up a "academic threshold" in order to improve the efficiency of recruitment and select talents.

High thresholds forced students to continue their studies

At the high threshold, the employment willingness of undergraduate graduates has a tendency to decline year by year, and the number of postgraduate entrance examinations and exams has increased significantly. Taking the graduation rate of graduates from Hunan University of Technology from 2017 to 2021 as an example, 7.25%, 9.29%, 9.59%, 11.06%, and 12.68%were respectively. 4.49%, 7.44%, 5.62%. Another statistics show that this year's graduate school students' application rate reached 43.7%, and the remaining 13.9%of them focused on the exam.

Li Pengpeng said that she was studying in business management, and about 60 % of the class students were preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. Among them, 30 % of the graduate majors who applied for the exam have been separated from the "home". In other words, "Which one is better 'ashore,"

According to public reports, in 2022, in the National Master's Graduate Admissions Examination, the postgraduate entrance examination rate for a class of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Jinan University reached 97.23%. In other words, almost all classmates applied for graduate students.

The national situation is similar. Data show that the number of applicants for the National Master's Graduate Admissions Examination in 2022 reached 4.57 million, an increase of 800,000 from 2021, an increase of 21%. If you put it in 20 years, the comparison is obvious. In 2003, the number of postgraduate applicants across the country was only 797,000, which was not as good as this year's number of applicants from last year.

A few days ago, the Forever Worry -Free Human Resources Research Center released the "2022 Research Report". The survey predicts that the proportion of corporate employment after graduation of the current graduate of 2023 will be less than 50 %; the plan to participate in civil servants, public institutions, teachers and other recruits will continue to rise; continue to study for further studies, and the proportion of slow employment will continue to increase.

Why does the postgraduate entrance examination that continues to rise?

"If you can find your favorite job if you graduate undergraduate, of course, you are still willing to employment early." Most candidates in the interview said that on the one hand, the postgraduate entrance examination hopes to continue to improve the professional quality, but the main reason is Of. They calculated a account. If you continue to study graduate students, it will take at least 40,000 yuan a year. For ordinary families, it is not a decimal.

Can the postgraduate entrance examination "reduce the cooling"

It is not difficult to find that the reasons for the current "postgraduate entrance examination" are intricate. There are both students' pursuit of personal quality, as well as the continuous growth of the demand for high -level talents in the new era of industrial upgrading, as well as the traditional concept of "education worship" in the market and employers. In addition, such as epidemics, difficulty going abroad, etc., it also promotes the "postgraduate fever."

What is more noteworthy is that some college teachers have also mentioned a kind of concern: some students use a lot of energy in the study related to the graduate exams during the test of graduate students, ignoring the undergraduate major, abandoning the society of society, abandoning the society Practice, internship. What's more, in order to choose a "better test" major, the original major has been abandoned. Therefore, in the long run, this approach is not conducive to the personal development of students, and it is also a waste of training in the undergraduate stage.

Then, the departments at all levels must pay attention to issues such as slow employment in the process of postgraduate entrance examinations, entrance examinations, and utilitarian examinations.

However, in order to make the postgraduate entrance examination "heated", the government and colleges should also pay attention to the issue of "academic threshold". On the one hand, let more employers, especially public institutions take the lead in "sinking down", be more patient as "Bole", break the idea of ​​"academic education theory", pay more attention to the actual ability of job seekers, and set the actual settings Recruitment threshold to gradually solve the problem of improper use of talents in "high education and low education".

On the other hand, colleges and universities should strengthen the training of undergraduates and continuously optimize the curriculum. You can properly refer to the training model of school -enterprise cooperation and order training in vocational colleges in order to better allow graduates to professional ability and actual needs of employers and employers. In line.
