Is it true that only those with a bachelor's degree can take the postgraduate entrance examination now? Can you take the postgraduate entrance examination directly with a junior college diploma?
1. Graduates of associate degree programs recognized by the state, who have graduated for 2 years (from the date of graduation from junior college to September 1st of the year they are admitted as postgraduate students, the same hereinafter) or more, and reach the equivalent academic level of university graduates (including those who have completed undergraduate studies but not graduated and adult higher education graduates), and meet the specific business requirements put forward by the recruiting unit based on its training objectives, should register as candidates with an equivalent academic background.
2. Adult higher education undergraduates should register as candidates with an equivalent academic background. The academic qualifications obtained through adult education are recognized by the state. Adult education undergraduate graduates in previous years can directly register as candidates with undergraduate qualifications. However, due to the fact that adult education undergraduates in their graduating year (around mid-November each year) have not yet obtained their undergraduate degrees, they can only register as candidates with an equivalent academic background, which is different from full-time regular university undergraduates. Regular university undergraduates can register as candidates with undergraduate qualifications.
3. Since 2002, university dropouts (without a graduation certificate but having completed some designated courses and possessing a regular university dropout certificate) can register as candidates with an equivalent academic background. Students who have studied at a regular university for a period of time, completed part of the designated courses and possess a regular university study certificate, will be subject to the requirements of different schools.
Of course, there are differences during the examination compared to undergraduates. In addition to taking the same courses as undergraduates, candidates starting from a junior college degree also need to take additional professional courses. Different schools have different requirements for application conditions and additional courses. Some recruitment schools also require a CET-4 certificate, and articles published in national journals, etc. As for the examination subjects, apart from English and politics as public courses, the professional courses depend on the selected major and school. Starting from a junior college degree for postgraduate entrance examination is quite challenging and represents a choice with significant difficulty.
