The impact of the new crown epidemic on 21 postgraduate entrance examinations (candidates, majors, regions)

The impact of the new crown epidemic on 21 postgraduate entrance examinations

Summary:

In 2020, the once-in-a-year Gengzi Reign, there was a war "epidemic" without gunpowder. In the face of the epidemic, the opening of schools has been postponed, and the operation of factories has been postponed. Numerous industries have suffered heavy losses, resulting in layoffs, and job opportunities have also shrunk. At the same time, the number of graduates in 2020 will reach 8.74 million, which is evident in the severity of the employment situation this year. Based on the superposition of the various effects of the epidemic, it has become an indisputable fact that the 21 postgraduate entrance examination has become more difficult. This article analyzes the impact of the new crown epidemic on 21 postgraduate entrance examinations from the perspective of the impact of the epidemic on the source of postgraduate entrance examination candidates, some majors for postgraduate entrance examinations, and some areas where the examination is applied. Among them, the source of candidates for the postgraduate entrance examination is composed of five parts: students studying abroad, students applying for postgraduate studies, students seeking employment, students whose direction is undetermined, and students who have clearly entered the postgraduate entrance examination.

"If you are given a room with a cell phone, TV, WiFi, water, food, but you can't go out, how long can you stay?" Before 2020, I think many people’s answers are: "How simple it is, stay forever." Unexpectedly, this situation became a reality during the 20-year Spring Festival...The new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) suddenly occurred, and many colleges and universities have delayed the start of school and the holidays have been lengthened; even the desire to "lay down in class" is also Realized, the left hand mobile phone to listen to the class, the right hand to feed the snacks... However, if you don't go, I will go, we are still stuck at home bit by bit close to the postgraduate entrance examination in December.

The impact of the epidemic on the source of postgraduate candidates:

Candidates for postgraduate entrance examinations can be simply divided into two categories, fresh students and previous students. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, in 2017, the number of students who took the postgraduate entrance examination accounted for 43.8% of the national applicants. In 2018, the number of students who took the postgraduate entrance examination accounted for 45% of the national applicants. According to incomplete statistics, the number of students who took the postgraduate entrance examination in 2019 accounted for the total number of applicants in the country. 48.23%, and the number of previous students in 2020 seems to have exceeded 50%. Therefore, the proportion of past graduates in the postgraduate entrance examination in 2021 may increase to around 55%. According to the data, the freshman will face more pressure from previous players.

Freshmen and previous students can be roughly regarded as consisting of five parts: students who are studying abroad, students who are applying for postgraduate studies, students who are looking for employment, students whose direction is undetermined, and students who have clearly entered postgraduate studies. The difference lies in their respective proportions. For example, most of the previous students are in The latter three categories. The following will start from 5 specific components.

1. Students for study abroad

According to the European Times, the current situation of the new crown epidemic in China is gradually improving, but the overseas epidemic is still severe. For students who plan to study in Europe this year, the epidemic is forcing most people to change their study abroad plans. Not only in Europe, but in the United States, the situation of studying abroad is even more severe. The Sociology of Princeton University in the United States even directly cancelled the admission of doctoral students in the fall of 2021. Europe and the United States are the main countries for studying abroad. In 2018, only the United Kingdom and the United States accounted for 37%. It can be seen that the epidemic has had a significant impact on the entire group of international students.

Due to the epidemic, many exams such as TOEFL, IELTS, GRE and other exams required for studying abroad have been postponed or changed, and some even cancelled recent exams. In addition, the deadline for submission of application materials for studying abroad has also been postponed. In previous years, I have been busy applying for visas, but some schools have not yet come out with the application results.

In February of this year, visa processing for the United States and the United Kingdom was suspended. US visas were restored to the Shenyang consulate on March 12, the Guangzhou consulate was restored on April 16, the Chengdu consulate was restored on May 4, the Shanghai consulate on May 12, and the Beijing consulate on May 18 Daily recovery. For the UK visas, the visa centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chongqing did not reopen until June 1. International flights also made major adjustments this year.

Compared with previous years, these changes have severely disrupted the international student plan, especially for students who have not yet prepared many things and are applying to go abroad. Moreover, the epidemic well reflects the current situation in countries around the world. China's stability and efficiency cannot be ignored, and she is steadily moving towards the center of the world stage. If studying abroad is not settled abroad but returned to China, the price/performance ratio will be greatly reduced, and many people begin to seriously weigh whether they must go abroad for graduate school. Therefore, it is inevitable that some overseas students will switch to the postgraduate entrance examination.

2. Undergraduate to students

Guaranteed research to students is an important part that cannot be ignored. Because the postgraduate entrance examination is a selective examination, the difficulty of the examination depends on the strength of the opponent. Most of the graduate students have good undergraduate grades and paper awards, which can more or less prove their own strength. In addition, 985 and 211 colleges and universities have a high proportion of undergraduate students, accounting for the majority of undergraduate students. As a result, the overall level of the graduate students is relatively higher.

Summer camps are the most important way for Baoyan students to get offers, but as far as the current situation is concerned, many early summer camps were not held as scheduled, so they were concentrated at the back. The conflicts in summer camp time increased, the options were greatly reduced, and the competition would become more intense.

In addition, this year’s summer camp is likely to crash during the exam week and internship week. Originally, the various projects were scattered over a long period of time from May to August, but this year is likely to be concentrated in July-August. The probability of crashes has greatly increased, and the margin of insurance research may face the dilemma of not learning.

In addition, there is also the impact of English, not to mention the extension of IELTS TOEFL, the postponement of English level 6 has caused great troubles for some graduate students. Many colleges and universities have summer camps that require at least six levels of English proficiency, which is undoubtedly a problem that needs to be solved urgently for students who have not passed or have low scores.

Moreover, the British Tournament was postponed from the first half of the year to 10.25. Many of the competitions and examinations in the first half of the year were postponed to the second half of the year. As a result, the resumes of some graduate students may lack contests to prove themselves, thus shaking the idea of ​​holding research.

Therefore, some graduate students will also join the ranks of the postgraduate entrance examination this year. Most students studying abroad and undergraduate entrance examinations are of some level. The competitors for the 21-year postgraduate entrance examination may be a large number of 985/211 students + a large number of students from dual non-academies. .

3. Employment to students

Looking at the number of postgraduate entrance exams and the trend of economic growth in the past ten years, postgraduate and economic growth are roughly inversely proportional.

As we all know, under the influence of the epidemic, the movie box office of this year's Spring Festival stalls is almost negligible compared with the same period last year. Such as KTV, tourism, catering and other industries that involve gatherings of people are basically the same. At present, many small and medium-sized enterprises are already stretched out and cannot maintain their cash flow. The prolonged time to resume work and the increase in waiting time have reduced the effective labor supply throughout the year. The surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas will not increase significantly, the registered unemployment rate in urban areas will rise, and the labor participation rate will cause long-term negative effects. The life service industry and labor-intensive manufacturing industries have a greater impact, and a number of small and micro enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households, agricultural cooperatives and farmers face the risk of bankruptcy.

Because jobs are declining, fresh graduates who are looking for jobs will consider more of the benefits brought by postgraduate entrance examinations; because of the pressure of layoffs and salary cuts, the proportion of previous graduates in the 2345 battle will increase significantly.

4. Students whose direction is undecided

This part of the situation is easy to analyze, because the first three parts are also a choice of these students, but they are more or less affected by the epidemic, so the postgraduate entrance examination has become the most simple and stable way. Because the epidemic is at home and idle, then go straight to the postgraduate entrance examination.

Seeking stability in troubled times, postgraduate entrance examination may become an excellent choice, the most choice.

5. Identify students for postgraduate entrance examinations

This part constitutes the largest source of candidates, and the number of candidates will basically not change due to the epidemic. However, the epidemic will make this group more polarized. As we all know, the holiday is a good opportunity for overtaking on a curve. As for whether to become an overtaker or a victim, it is entirely up to you. The postgraduate entrance examination is a protracted battle, and the 21st postgraduate entrance examination includes a long vacation. Self-discipline will have a decisive effect on the results of the postgraduate entrance examination this year. If you have strong self-control, putting your whole heart and soul into the home may exceed the learning effect at school, because if your self-control is high enough, then you will get rid of the shortcomings of studying at home, and instead enjoy a better nutritional mix at home than at school. , More free time arrangement.

The result of this is likely to be a two-level development with high scores and low scores for the 21st postgraduate entrance examination.

The impact of the epidemic on some majors for postgraduate entrance examinations:

During the epidemic, how many medical staff set sail for us, so that we have a peaceful life now. With the attention of society, the proportion of jobs in public health and preventive medicine, biostatistics, epidemiology and health statistics and other related majors will increase, so the number of applicants for these majors may also increase.

Regardless of the industry, the opening is more or less delayed or unable to open directly because of the epidemic. But light and darkness coexist, and online shopping, e-marketing, and online projects have all developed well during this period. Therefore, e-commerce may gradually become a popular profession.

Other disciplines that have been popular should continue to be popular, such as applied statistics, accounting, law, computer, information communication, finance, and management.

It is also worth noting that capital moves for profit. This epidemic has made entrepreneurs soberly aware that "unmanned" is a trend to minimize losses and reduce costs. Therefore, in the future, there may be more and more artificial intelligence replacing humans, and traditional industries may face the erosion of artificial intelligence.

The impact of the epidemic on some application areas:

The main consideration here is the impact on Hubei. Originally, if the epidemic could end in May, it would have little impact on the enrollment of colleges and universities in Hubei. However, the epidemic has dragged on to the present, so it may indeed have a slight impact on students from other provinces applying to Hubei.

The result of thinking in this situation can only be probability, and no absolute trend can be drawn. Because people can continue to think, buy the bottom in the opposite direction, or even buy the bottom in the opposite direction. However, in cases where the number of participants is relatively large, there will not be an explosion in reverse hunting. Therefore, the enrollment situation of the entire Hubei province may really be a little missed. In other words, the impact on Wuhan University Huake may be small, but other universities in Hubei province may be able to miss it.

Students who volunteer to apply for colleges and universities in Hubei can pay attention to the admission data of Wuhan and Hubei in this year's college entrance examination to get a glimpse of the clues.

end:

In the academic years, the pressure of competition for postgraduate entrance examinations has prevailed year after year, and the epidemic is even more a “catalyst” for increasing difficulty. 20 The number of applicants for the postgraduate entrance examination is 3.4 million, and the country is expected to admit about 1 million, which means that more than 2 million candidates have been eliminated. Based on the analysis of the epidemic situation, the five sources of candidates this year have increased to varying degrees. 21 The number of postgraduate entrance examinations exceeds 400W and there is little suspense. What needs to be guessed is how much it can exceed... If 21 postgraduate entrance examinations really exceed 4 million, there will be close to 300W losers.

Reviewing at home is not efficient; the information is complicated and anxious. Plans are disrupted time and time again, and mentality collapses time and time again. Under fierce competition and "uncertainty", many candidates are faced with self-doubt, intermittent decadence and persistent anxiety. Nowadays, the Internet is full of dazzling information, and some stakeholders are selling anxiety. The preparation for 21 is indeed difficult, but it must be clear that all 21 candidates face the same situation. Relatively speaking, it is fair. Anne Helen Petersen, the author on uzzFeed, put forward the concept of "millennial burnout". At present, 74% of young people in the UK feel anxious and lose their hair. Young people all over the world are suffering from the multiple changes brought about by the development of the times and informatization. Pressure, calmness and calmness in the face of the objective environment, and keeping calm and moving forward in the face of uncertain situations are compulsory courses for our generation.

Let it change, and I'm so calm. In times of economic downturn and industry crises, it is an excellent time to improve yourself. Everything will pass, some people still stay in place, and some people have upgraded and iterated.
