Do I need to find a tutor for the postgraduate entrance examination? What should I do if I can’t find one?

It is not necessary to find a mentor. The Ministry of Education issued new regulations at the end of 2013, explicitly prohibiting graduate students from having personal contact with their supervisors before reexamination.

The Ministry of Education issued new regulations at the end of 2013, explicitly prohibiting graduate students from having personal contact with their instructors before reexamination. In this regard, most tutors said that whether they are looking for them or not, they hope to recruit candidates with excellent professional qualities and who can flexibly use the knowledge they have learned to solve and analyze problems.

The director of the Graduate Studies Office of Shandong Jianzhu University said that all universities have increased the intensity of postgraduate re-examination, such as adopting differential re-examination, and the proportion of candidates participating in the re-examination ranges from 120% to 150%. The tutor's personal opinion has no impact on the re-examination;

The interview tutor group is generally composed of 5 people, and each person will give a different score. In addition, candidates are not allowed to choose a tutor when applying. They can only choose a tutor by attending a "double selection meeting" held by the school within one week of admission.

Extended information:

Many tutors said that under normal circumstances, tutors will not have individual contact with candidates. It is unnecessary to find a mentor, and sometimes it can be counterproductive and leave a bad impression on the mentor.

Chang Qing, deputy dean and graduate tutor of the School of Liberal Arts of Shandong Normal University, has been “busy” recently on his mobile phone and email. Many candidates began to call, send text messages or send emails to him. The competition for postgraduate examinations is fierce, and it is relatively common for candidates to find tutors in advance. This mentality is understandable.
