There is a policy document on this issue. Don't think you can change it to the first year of chief sergeant. Three years after graduation can only be changed to the first year of non-commissioned officers. For another example, if you graduate in four years, it will be the second year of a non-commissioned officer. If you are a four-year undergraduate, but you joined the army last semester in your senior year, it is the first year of a non-commissioned officer, just like graduating from a three-year junior college.
The policy for junior college graduates to become non-commissioned officers is: conscripts can obtain junior college graduation certificates and pass competitive examinations, and conscripts can only become non-commissioned officers after serving for two years. When you change it, you can directly calculate your college years, conscripts' two years and corporal's three years, that is, five years, conscripts' two years and corporal's three years, so you are the first year of non-commissioned officers, so you can directly change your first year of non-commissioned officers. However, it should be noted that this calculation method is only useful when changing petty officers. Your length of military service is still only two years, and length of military service only looks at the length of service in the army. If it is a non-commissioned officer with a college degree, it is also a similar calculation method, that is, the first year of corporal and two years after sergeant. Article 20 of the Military Service Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), after completing active service, a conscript may be changed to a non-commissioned officer on his own initiative and with the approval of a unit at or above the regimental level according to the needs of the army.

Measures for the graded service of non-commissioned officers and the direct recruitment of non-commissioned officers from non-military departments shall be formulated by the State Council and the Central Military Commission (CMC).
