Is Taiyuan Institute of Technology really inferior to Shanxi University?

Comparatively speaking, Taiyuan University of Technology has more advantages.

Taiyuan University of Technology and Shanxi University, both located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, are national "double-class" construction universities, but Taiyuan University of Technology is the key construction university of "2 1 1 project" of the Ministry of Education and the first batch of "excellent engineer education and training plan" universities.

After the announcement of the first round of double first-class universities, Shanxi University unfortunately fell out of the list, but after the announcement of the second round of double first-class universities, it became a double first-class university. Both universities are famous universities in Shanxi. Although they are equally famous, Taiyuan University of Technology has a slightly higher reputation.

Judging from the teaching strength, the teaching strength of both universities is excellent, but Shanxi University is slightly inferior to Taiyuan University of Technology.

In terms of academicians, academicians of the two academies are the top talents in the field of scientific research in China, and the number of academicians of the two academies is an important basis for measuring the comprehensive strength of a university. Shanxi University has 1 full-time academicians, and Taiyuan University of Technology has 4 full-time academicians of both academies, which is still slightly superior.
