ALMOST 10,000 Shenzhen students taking this year’s National College Entrance Examination were enrolled by colleges and universities across the country.

　　The number accounted for 90 percent of the city’s 11,376 examinees, yesterday’s Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.

　　Students admitted to key universities, including Beijing and Qinghua University, totaled 1,148 while 3,509 were enrolled at other colleges and universities, the paper said.

　　To create opportunities for students whose marks were high enough but were not enrolled, the Shenzhen Municipal Recruiting Committee decided to allow the Shenzhen Information College to enroll an extra 200 students, while the Shenzhen Polytechnic admitted another 450 students.

　　In Guangdong Province, a total of 23,436 students were not enrolled this year although their marks exceeded 460, the set minimum for the province.
