Record students seeking to enter postgraduate courses But job market expert says employers prefer experience.
(From South China Morning Post)
Byline: Michael Jen-Siu in Beijing
Record numbers of students are trying to enter postgraduate courses at mainland universities this term to gain an edge in their careers. But a job market expert says their strategy is misguided.
According to the Beijing Morning Post, the number of people signing up this month to take the standardised postgraduate admission exam has reached an all-time high.
Numbers at Beijing Normal University have risen 30 to 50 per cent, with 5,900 people registered this year, the paper said. The report said Peking University signed up 10,800 people and 8,000 registered at Tsinghua University on Sunday.
Universities in Shenyang, Xian and other main cities also reported "explosions" in the number of test candidates and long registration lines.
The Ministry of Education Web site says about 270,000 students nationwide will take the exam early next year, up 35 per cent from this year. The exam is in January, but candidates must sign up in November to qualify for free undergraduate tuition programmes which have strict student quotas.
