THE three-day springtime National College Entrance Exams closed yesterday in Beijing, Shanghai, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Anhui Province, and organizers say the number of people writing the exam has risen greatly.
Universities will enrol around 15,000 students this year. Over 3,000 students in Beijing actually registered for the exams, 179.11 per cent more than last year.
Over half of the examinees in Beijing refused to apply for junior colleges, for most of them think the spring NCEE a good chance for them to study at regular universities. Those who did apply chose "hot majors" like securities investment, computer science and accounting.
Shanghai was authorized to hold the exam itself, while tests in the other three regions were uniformly arranged by the Ministry of Education. Experts say that spring NCEE, which was conducted on a much smaller scale than the autumn NCEE, should be a model for its larger cousin. Universities in Shanghai have greater leeway in carrying out individual tests based on their own demand. Students are also allowed greater rights to choose how and when to write the exam. They can apply to several universities and receive admission notifications simultaneously if they pass the exam.
On the other hand, according to other experts, the Spring NCEE disturbed the normal teaching order in universities.
Enrolment will start later this month and students will enter university early in March.
