On May 21, the annual college entrance examination was only 16 days away. The number of applicants for the national college entrance examination and the number of applicants for the provincial college entrance examination became the focus of attention. According to relevant public data, the national college entrance examination in 2024 will exceed 13 million, or reach 13.53 million, 620000 higher than that in 2023, setting a new record.
In fact, in recent years, the number of people taking the college entrance examination has been in the process of continuous increase. Since 2019, the number of applicants has broken through 10 million, reaching 10.31 million. In 2020, 10.71 million people participated in the college entrance examination, 10.78 million in 2021, 11.93 million in 2022, 12.91 million in 2023, and 13.53 million in 2024.
It is worth noting that re entrants contribute nearly one third of the functions. The data shows that the number of re entrants has increased almost in the same proportion in recent years. In 2024, the number of re entrants will exceed 4 million, while the number of undergraduates will be about 4.5 million. The number of re entrants is close to the enrollment plan at this stage.
According to netizens' analysis, the 2024 college entrance examination may become the most brutal one in history, but it is speculated that the real peak number of college entrance examination may appear around 2035, and then gradually fall back, that is, the next decade may not be easier than 2024.
Judging from the number of applicants for the college entrance examination in various provinces, the "Four Provinces of Mountains and Rivers" is still a traditional province with a large source of students, of which Henan Province ranks first in the country with 1.36 million people (the actual number of candidates will be less); Shandong topped 1 million people for the first time, ranking second; Hebei Province ranks third with 880000 people. With more than 350000 examinees in Shanxi Province, the total number of examinees in the four provinces is nearly 3.6 million, nearly 30% of the total.
Relatively speaking, the higher education resources in the "four mountain and river provinces" are relatively scarce. Statistics show that there are 223 undergraduate universities (excluding military universities) in the four provinces, of which only two are 985, Shandong University and Ocean University of China, both located in Shandong. "Double first-class" colleges and universities are also few in number, with only 8 in the four provinces (including military colleges and universities). Take Henan as an example, there is no university directly under the Ministry of Education. In the 985 and 211 university systems, there is only one 211 "only child" in Zhengzhou University; Among 147 "double first-class" universities, only 2 are in Henan.
In 2024, Sichuan Province (830000), Guangdong Province (760000), Hunan Province (730000), Anhui Province (670000), Jiangxi Province (650000), Hubei Province (520000), and Guizhou Province (506000) will also have more than 500000 applicants. The top 10 provinces together will be close to 8 million, accounting for about 60% of the national college entrance examination applicants. The fierce competition can be seen.
The number of applicants for the college entrance examination is an important factor in the intensity of competition, but the score of admission through the college entrance examination reflects the difficulty of competition in each province from another dimension. At present, there are 7 sets of college entrance examination papers used in the country. In addition to the questions from Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, there are four sets of test papers, of which one is the most difficult one in the country, which is used in eight provinces, including Shandong, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Hebei, Jiangsu, Fujian and Zhejiang. Zhejiang Province has the highest college entrance examination admission score in the country, with a score of 594 points, nearly 600 points.
In addition, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Henan and other provinces also have relatively high admission scores, and have significantly improved compared with last year, while Jilin, Heilongjiang, Xinjiang and other provinces have relatively low admission scores.
With the increase of the total number of examinees, the undergraduate admission score of most provinces in China is generally on the rise, especially that of one book and 985 and 211 universities.
