Why do many companies recruit graduates from 985 and 211 universities?

985 is a world-class university, and 211 is a national key university. They were proposed at different times, with different construction goals, different financial funds, different comprehensive school-running strengths, different definitions, different implementation times, different universities covered, and construction content. Different, different employment prospects.

The 985 Project refers to the major decision proposed by the country in May 1998 to build a first-class university with world-leading levels at the turn of the century. The universities selected for this project are called 985 universities. The 211 Project refers to the construction project of about 100 colleges and universities and a number of key disciplines geared towards the 21st century. These two major projects in the field of higher education construction have played an important role in the development of higher education in our country.

211 Project: Also known as "211 Project" universities and "211" universities, "21 represents the 21st century, and the following 1 represents 100", that is, about 100 key universities will be built for the 21st century.

985 Project: Also known as "985 Project" universities and "985" universities, "98 represents 1998, and the following 5 represents May", that is, the construction of several internationally renowned universities proposed in May 1998 Research university.

Although both are key universities, the difference is still quite big. 985 universities can obtain much more resources than 211 universities, such as the top students and the most preferential policies. The largest amount of teaching funds and social attention, so in terms of teaching funds alone, 985 University has a great advantage, and the social status of 985 University will be relatively higher.

The submission times are different.

Project 985 is later than Project 211, and Project 985 was proposed in 1998.

Project 211 was proposed and launched in 1995. Currently, there are 39 985 universities*** and 115 211 universities***.

Different construction goals

The goal of Project 985 is to form a group of disciplines that have reached international advanced levels and to form a group of world-class universities. To put it simply, 985 University aims to form a group of high-quality universities and to cultivate a group of internationally renowned universities with an international vision.

Project 211 mainly focuses on the country and builds a number of well-known domestic schools and key disciplines. Simply put, it is to improve the overall quality of education in the country and create more influential and powerful universities in the country, with its vision being domestic.

Financial funds are different:

The construction funds required for the 211 Project are jointly raised by the state, departments, localities and colleges and universities. The 985 Project has a large national allocation, and construction funds are raised jointly by multiple parties. Funds raised by departments, localities and enterprises are relatively more advantageous.

The comprehensive school-running strength is different

The overall school-running strength of 985 universities is significantly stronger than that of 211 universities. As we all know, there are only more than 30 universities in my country's 985 Project, and there are more than 100 universities in the 211 Project. From a purely quantitative point of view, the 985 universities are significantly less than the 211 universities. Those selected into 985 universities are all selected into 211 universities, but those selected into 211 universities may not necessarily be selected into 985 universities. Therefore, from the perspective of the difficulty of selection, it is obviously much more difficult to be selected for the 985 project than for the 211 project. In addition, judging from the schools selected as 985 universities, these schools are the main force in the development of higher education in our country and an important force in the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines.

Whether it is subject construction or talent training, whether it is faculty or school scale, 985 universities are significantly stronger than 211 universities. This is the most obvious difference between 985 universities and 211 universities.

Different definitions

985 universities are universities that participate in the "985 Project". That is, in order to achieve modernization, our country must have several first-class universities with world-leading levels.

211 universities are universities participating in the "211 Project", which is a construction project focusing on the construction of about 100 higher education institutions and a number of key disciplines for the 21st century.

The implementation time is different

In 1999, the State Council approved the Ministry of Education's "Education Revitalization Action Plan for the 21st Century", and the "985 Project" was officially launched.

In November 1995, Project 211 was officially launched after approval by the State Council.

The universities covered are different

985 universities are all 211 universities, but 211 universities are not necessarily 985 universities. For example, Tsinghua University is both a 985 university and a 211 university, and Suzhou University is only a 211 university but not a 985 university.

The construction content is different

The construction tasks of the "985 Project" include five aspects: mechanism innovation, team building, platform construction, condition support, and international exchange and cooperation.

The main content of the "211 Project" construction includes three parts: the overall conditions of the school, key disciplines and the construction of the higher education public service system.

Different employment prospects:

985 universities are more famous, stronger, and have better employment prospects. Moreover, 985 universities have high social recognition, and many employers have the same conditions. Students from 985 universities will be given priority next time.

Provincial 211 schools are sponsored by provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and their funding mainly comes from provincial local governments. The proportion of recommended graduate students can reach 15, and they are all recommended to first-class universities, such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, etc.; Provincial and ministry-established universities refer to the ministries and commissions of the State Council (mainly the Ministry of Education) and relevant provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions** Universities built by *.

National and local support are different. 985 colleges and universities are all part of the 211 project, and 211 is not necessarily 985.

Project 985 is an education plan implemented by the Chinese government to build a group of world-class universities and a group of internationally renowned high-level research universities, including 39 top universities. The "95 Project" must adhere to the "characteristic, high-level" development path and achieve "Chinese characteristics, world level". Further clarify the development strategies of world-class universities and high-level universities, and form an investment mechanism for long-term, stable and sustained growth.

985 universities are universities that participate in the "985 Project". In order to achieve modernization, our country must have several universities with world-leading levels. 211 universities are universities participating in the "211 Project", which is a construction project focusing on the construction of about 100 higher education institutions and a number of key disciplines for the 21st century.
