Is Xi'an Jiaotong University really 'eating on its own'? Alumni evaluation: more than enough, but not enough development

As we all know, Xi'an Jiaotong University is a well-known 985 university in China and one of the C9 league schools. Due to various reasons, the development of Xi'an Jiaotong University is somewhat backward compared to before. The 1980s and 1990s was the most glorious era of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and its ranking was higher than it is now.

Xi'an Jiaotong University came from the old Jiaotong University who moved west to Xi'an, and the part that stayed in Shanghai was established as Shanghai Jiaotong University. Brothers separated, and most of the disciplines of the old Jiaotong University were moved to Xi'an Jiaotong University. At that time, Xi'an Jiaotong University was stronger than Shanghai Jiaotong University. However, with the rise of Shanghai, Shanghai Jiaotong University's dominant position was rapidly enlarged. At the same time, Xi'an Jiaotong University appeared A lot of loneliness. There are even many people who say that Xi'an Jiaotong University is eating the "old capital" of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and some alumni say that Xi'an Jiaotong University "has more than succeeded, but not enough development", it is still possible to keep the dominant disciplines, but it is impossible to make progress in new disciplines.

Here, the editor believes that it is a bit "exaggerated" to say that Xi'an Jiaotong University is living on its own. In recent years, Xi'an Jiaotong University has also gone through a lot of exploration in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and industrial robots, and has achieved many scientific research results. According to the latest ranking of alumni associations, Xi'an Jiaotong University ranks 14th in the country. It is really good to be able to achieve this result.

In fact, Xi'an Jiaotong University is currently very strong. In the fourth round of subject evaluation by the Ministry of Education, 14 disciplines of Xi'an Jiaotong University were selected as Category A, among which power engineering, engineering thermophysics, and electrical engineering were selected as A+. Shaanxi Province is a western province. Although Xi'an Jiaotong University is a 985 university and has been funded by the Ministry of Education, Xi'an Jiaotong University obviously does not have an advantage in terms of local funding support and the attraction of outstanding talents and students. Every year, many college graduates from Xi'an colleges and universities come to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to find jobs, which is also quite embarrassing.
