This year's high-level candidates were able to catch up with the first bus to the 15th high school。
If the number of high-level candidates in 2025 is only a prelude, then the number of high-level candidates in 2026 was 450,000 fewer than in 2025, and the total fell back to 12. 9 million, which is undoubtedly for many familiesEnter a volunteerThe first good news was received。
But what really boils up parents and candidates is another real hammer: a two-class college。
At the 2026 national conference, the “continuing expansion of quality undergraduate enrolment” was explicitly included in the report on the work of the government. Ndc, in particular, has given a specific timetable — the “fifty-five” period — to support the expansion of the undergraduate section of “two-class” universities to over 100,000。
In 2025, the national intake rate at the senior examinations reached 82. 21 per cent, an increase of 2. 56 percentage points over the previous year and an increase of 2. 47 per cent in general undergraduate enrolment. The ministry of education then followed up with a clear intention to “promote the expansion of higher education and the expansion of quality undergraduate enrolment”。
This round is not a “big water spill”, but a precise drop. The focus is on “two-class” higher education institutions, new research-type universities and some vocational undergraduate institutions, with the main motivation for expansion being “professional new”。
New specializations focus on national strategies and industrial development, mainly in the technical and agricultural fields. For 2026 candidates, it is more important to understand the professional layout of this round than to know the numbers。
The following core data, as at 8 june 2026, is recommended for collection and re-examination。
I. Specific exchange of high schools enforcemented to hold on the elements
With an increase of 600 students and a master plan for south-east university of 4825 students, 985 institutions have so far grown significantly in the number of offers announced. Of even greater concern is the fact that it has introduced four new professions, “low space technology and engineering”, “system science and engineering” and “sport training”, “medical equipment and engineering”, which are directed at hard-core industries such as the low-altitude economy and high-end medical equipment。
The number of students enrolled in undergraduate studies increased by 400 and the number of students enrolled in undergraduate studies at the university of electronic technology in sian in 2026 increased to 6160. As a core member of the “two-telephone one-poster”, west electric's outreach was extremely “gold”: communications, radar, computers, integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, network security, low-altitude technology, big data. It can be said that the great heat direction of electronic information and computers is almost entirely covered。
Also in the west, the university increased by 360 persons to a total of 6710. It offers a sense of the future of new specializations: “smart” and “data science” for the first time, while expanding enrolment in the traditionally powerful areas of intellectual manufacturing, energy, energy storage and electrical sciences. Those who want to step on the smart robot's mouth, the swing is worth thinking about。
300 additional persons, both from lanzhou university and nanjing university. Landa emphasized the need for a “four new” (new engineering, new medicine, new agronomy, new humanities) and a national strategy that urgently required disciplines and basic disciplines. South china has a bottom line: the incremental plan will focus on cutting-edge disciplines that the country so desperately needs, and the future institute of technology will also start undergraduate enrolment for the first time. The first intake of undergraduate students at the south great future institute of technology was a landmark event, which meant that the top high schools were opening up to high school students to develop subversive skills。
The new research-type university, shenzhen polytechnic university, was expanded by 260, to a total of 620 in 2026, and for the first time, the enrolment was extended to shandong. The university of the bay has also increased by 110 students, totalling 190, and the enrolment provinces have expanded to guangdong, guangxi, hunan, hubei, henan and hong kong/australia. The new university is accelerating the “jacking of people”。
To look at other core increments: the university of gangnam grew by 210 people to reach an all-time high; the beijing university of post and telecommunications increased by 180 people (for a total of 4,300), with a marked increase in enrolment plans in beijing; the chinese university of petroleum (beijing) headquarters and the kramayi school district together increased by 120 people; the chinese university of agriculture increased by over 100 people, focusing on food security, biopsychology, artificial intelligence and equipment production, green energy, food safety and health; and the central university of finance and economics, nanchang university, shandong university and nakayama university. Yamada has also established new specializations in “class science and technology” (the strong base programme) and “low space science and technology” “nuclear science and technology”. The beijing university of science and technology added 90 people (out of a total of 3690) and added two specialties: integrated circuit design and integrated systems, and intellectual property. The south university of science and technology added 30-40 persons to a total of over 1,400 and for the first time included gansu。
What are they whispering about
This part of the university only released an extension signal, but no specific figures were published. However, the layout of the top schools can be seen in their new specialization and orientation。
Qinghua university: unlocking the call, the flag clearly highlights the development of “ai+” innovative talent. This means that qinghua is not recruiting ai students alone, but injecting ai genes into almost all disciplines。
University of beijing: launching an outreach signal to add "biostatistics" to the "technology" and "technology" subdirectories and double degrees project "the rule of law and global governance". The big idea is the combination of “humanities + technology” and “science + applications”, which is added。
Shanghai university of transport: a massive increase in psychology, robotic engineering, data science and big data technology, ocean intelligence and unmanned technology, and five undergraduate disciplines with intelligence. It's almost the most clear this yearFuture industryTalent signal one。
Zhejiang university: 3 undergraduate courses in smart, storage and engineering, intelligent engineering and creative design. It is no accident that “smart” appears for the third time on the list of new professions in top-level institutions of higher learning。
University of jordan: new energy science and engineering, materials science and engineering, biomedicine data science, integrated circuit science and engineering, four undergraduate disciplines, all of which are “hard technology”。
Beijing university of aeronautics and astronautics: increase in volume by adding 30 additional persons to the "airworthiness technologies for aircraft" specialisation, which corresponds precisely to the talent gap in the field of civil aviation seaworthiness validation following the c919 scale operation。
University of west lake: for the first time, 200 students were enrolled, with the addition of the provinces of shandong, anhui, jiangxi and the expansion of the new research university。
Iii. Key tips: scaling-up is not the equivalent of a reduction in the points, but rather an approach to filling in. The pit
Once the information is available, these three lines of thought need to be repeatedly reminded of themselves and children before making decisions。
First, “scaling up” is not equivalent to a “minus”. The expansion of quality undergraduates has been accompanied by intense competition from popular professions, which may even attract more high-rated candidates to apply for examinations because of the high level of interest generated by the expansion, resulting in no reversal of the entry scores. The new programmes are directed to areas of national strategic necessity such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, energy, low-altitude economies and smartness, which are themselves the most popular tracks for high-level players. Traditional popular professions do not necessarily have to be pro-people by expanding the total plate。
Second, it should be done in combination, rather than simply looking at the score. When reference is made to the number of places taken into consideration in previous years, it is necessary to take into account the minor adjustments made to the placement resulting from the extension. In general, a school may be expanded to a few dozen to hundreds of people, and the corresponding minimum admissions may be slightly lateral, but usually small, and may be minimal in terms of the highest-ranking professions. The core remains the matching of personal interest and career planning, not to be blindly followed by the `scaling' of the rhythm。
Third, focus on the industry logic behind “new professions”. This year's multi-school intensive additions to the specialties of “smart” “low-altitude technology and engineering” and “surveillance science and engineering” are by no means optional. Behind them is the vision of the national commission for development and development and the ministry of industry and communications for the future of the industry. The first group of students to enter these specialties may benefit from a brain gain during the industrial boom. But it is also important to assess whether it is really interested in bottom technologies and has the ability to chew hard bones, rather than being held hostage by a “technology sense” packaged by professional names。
It's your turn。
This round of undergraduate expansion, headed by a “two-class”, is a strategic mobilization of talent at the national level. It is clear from the addition of new professions in which direction resources are tilted: artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, low-altitude economies, new sources of energy, biomedicine, food security. These are the key words for the next five to ten years, where china’s participation in the global competition for science and technology is most in need of people and most likely to give young people a greater return。
This article is stored in a single college and a professional network of officials to verify the latest enrolment plans, in line with the children's provincial ranking and orientation. The examination is a battleground for children, while information warfare is a place where parents can be deeply involved。
Do you now have your province's last year's entry list? Which one do you want to know most about this year's new profession? We'll talk about it together。
Continued attention will be paid to updating, as soon as possible, the specialized enrolment programme in higher education institutions in the provinces。
