nowadays more and more college graduates decide to pursue postgraduate study on the eve of their graduation. from the table, we can see that in 2000 , there were only 3,900,000 million applicants participating in the exam. the recent statistics show that the applicants have increased greatly with a total number of 7,970,000last year and 9,450,00 this year.
the great change which has taken place is chiefly due to the following reasons. first, college graduates have to face a tight job market, which is increasingly competitive because a huge number of them will go job-hunting. confronted with the tough job-seeking, more and nore graduates turn to further education for a better future. in addition, there also a number of students who really want to continue their studies at graduate schools to deepen their knowledge in a particular field.
