Just like four years ago, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was once again published on the front page of the National Daily.
In comparison, the admission requirements this time are slightly more lenient than before, but age and marital status are still strictly enforced.
It's not feasible to not restrict it either. The college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years. If there were no restrictions, the number of applicants from the educated youth sent to the countryside alone could reach tens of millions.
However, these rules and regulations were no problem for Jiang Si.
Aside from the honors she accumulated in previous years, she has completed dozens of projects, large and small, in the four years since she joined the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry.
This perfectly meets the requirement of "having rich practical experience and expertise".
The leaders of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry were overjoyed to learn that she would be taking the college entrance examination this year.
She had been stuck in the position of assistant engineer for more than three years without being promoted because of her educational background.
If she doesn't get promoted, many tasks can't be legitimately handed over to her.
Several leaders joked privately that if she didn't take the exam this time, they would tie her up and drag her to the exam hall.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that she had volunteered to take the college entrance examination.
As if afraid she would change her mind, all the procedures and certificates that required her employer were processed perfectly in less than an hour.
According to the current policy, anyone who has worked for more than three years is entitled to paid study time, and the period of study counts as work experience, with all benefits and treatment remaining the same.
In addition, to allow Jiang Si to focus on her studies, her workplace specially arranged for her to take a period of time off.
Apart from necessary work, Jiang Si doesn't need to come to the office every day for the rest of the time.
It has to be said that the employee benefits in these days are really exceptional!
After handing over her last project, Jiang Si devoted herself entirely to preparing for the college entrance examination.
Time passed day by day as I reviewed.
In early December, Jiang Si went to a designated hospital in Beijing for a physical examination as instructed, and then went to the Education Bureau to pick up an enrollment application form.
Admissions Application Form
This year's college entrance examination is different from that of later years; students fill out their application forms first, and then take the exam.
The application rules were not as complicated as they are in later generations.
The first choice is a key national university, and the second choice is a general university.
Both of these involve filling in five schools each.
The third choice is a vocational college; it's optional.
All applications are processed according to the cut-off score. If you do not meet the cut-off score for the previous application, you will automatically be moved to the next application.
This is why Jiang Si, even though she had already reviewed most of the material, still patiently went through all the textbooks from beginning to end again.
In terms of exam difficulty and test points, this year's college entrance examination was incomparable to those of later years.
But China has never lacked geniuses, nor has it ever lacked hardworking people.
Let's not talk about distant places, but just the Wei brothers, Wei Dong and Wei Min.
In this diagnostic test, out of a total of 400 points, the two brothers scored 372 and 366 points respectively!
The scores of Huo Erge’s sons, Jingqian and Jingyu, generally fluctuated around 360 points in each exam.
And there are more than a dozen other students in their school with similar results.
So those who say that a score of 200+ is enough to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University are just dreaming.
Ultimately, admission is based on academic performance and ranking.
Jiang Si made such a big fuss, and her superiors at work have given her the green light all the way. It would be ridiculous if she failed the exam.
As for which school and major to apply for, Jiang Si had already decided.
First and foremost, her first choice will definitely be the Engineering Mechanics program at Tsinghua University, as it is most closely related to her current work.
The second choice is the Aircraft Design and Engineering major at Beihang University, which is also a relevant major.
For the remaining few, she selected a few based on the college admission handbook provided by the Education Bureau and her own interests.
Schools outside the local area will not be considered; this was Huo Tingzhou's only requirement when she decided to take the college entrance examination.
After filling in the school information, I carefully attached the photo.
"Alright, mission accomplished!"
Jiang Si put the form away and said to Huo Tingzhou, "Let's go, let's go see Teacher Hu."
It was a rare treat that there was a heavy snowfall last night, and several families made plans to have hot pot together at Teacher Hu's house for lunch.
When Jiang Si's family arrived, Sister Hu was sitting on the sofa, holding her forehead.
The Wei brothers, Wei Dong and Wei Min, stood obediently to the side.
Seeing Jiang Si arrive, he quickly winked at her, giving her a pleading look.
Jiang Si was still a little confused. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Sigh, it's all because of them." Hu Meili sighed, pointing to her two sons, "Guess which universities these two boys applied to?"
If she hadn't asked that question, Jiang Si might not have thought of it that way.
"Did they apply to schools in other cities?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Meili said in a slightly breathy voice, "That's right, they applied to Hunan Provincial Institute of Technology."
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment. What kind of school is this?
Just as I was wondering, Huo Tingzhou next to me explained, "This school was moved from Harbin Military Engineering Institute and later renamed Hunan Provincial Institute of Technology."
He paused, then added, "I heard that it might be renamed the National University of Defense Technology after New Year's Day."
Jiang Si knew about the National University of Defense Technology as soon as she heard its name.
Seeing Teacher Hu's sullen expression, she could only try her best to comfort her, saying, "Sister-in-law, those two brothers have had this idea for a long time, you should know that."
